The state’s 30 neediest school districts will get this year what they got last year from the state while all other school district aid will be trimmed by 5 percent. But no school district gets zeroed out as it would have under the budget advanced by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy. “We are grateful that the legislators were finally able to pass a budget that, for the most part, does not attempt to solve the state’s fiscal problems on the backs of our students and local taxpayers.” said Jim Richetelli, a former Milford mayor and chief operating officer for Milford Public Schools. The $1.986 billion Education Cost Sharing grant package approved by the Senate and the House Thursday is cut by some $31.4 million statewide in this fiscal year.
