## Resource

Connecticut lawmakers secured a significant victory in education funding, injecting $173 million into schools for a 4% boost next year. Instead of raising the base grant, they devised creative solutions to meet the target. New homeschooling regulations were also established, requiring annual notifications, in-person sign-offs, and background checks. While educators and towns welcomed the relief, they acknowledged it as temporary. The cellphone ban and literacy bills faced setbacks, and free breakfast launched, but lunches and teacher stipends were left out. With a Blue Ribbon Commission studying big fixes, more battles are expected, but lawmakers from both sides emphasize collaboration.
