As mayors, Dems seek more funding for education, Gov. Lamont says, ‘Don’t always come running to the state’

Connecticut's big-city mayors called for more than $500 million in additional education funding Monday, but lawmakers said it is too early to say exactly how much additional funds will be available this year.

Both mayors and legislators said that education will be a high priority in the 2025 legislative session that started last week, but the final totals will likely not be decided until the end of the session in early June. Gov. Ned Lamont said all sides need to participate in improving the education system.
