AN ACT CONCERNING REVISIONS TO THE DEFINITION OF RESIDENT STUDENTS AND THE PER PUPIL AMOUNTS PAID UNDER THE EDUCATION COST SHARING GRANT.

HB 6451 revises Connecticut's education funding formula for the Education Cost Sharing Grant. It changes how "resident students" are counted, requiring towns to include students who moved from a public school to a nonpublic school the previous year. For these students, the town receives two-thirds of the per-pupil grant amount, while the nonpublic school receives the remaining one-third. This directly affects towns and nonpublic schools by altering how education funding is distributed for these students. The bill updates the grant formula to reflect this new allocation method.
