Please join us in reaching out to Hamden’s state legislators, asking them to ensure that the state funding for Hamden Public Schools is not reduced.
Here's the story: For years, our state government has underfunded Hamden’s allocation of Education Cost Sharing (ECS) funds by more than $10 million per year. In addition to lower than proportionate ECS funding, there it is possible that CT's Alliance grant program, which provides millions of dollars to our district, might be reduced.
Especially now, we need the State of CT to provide us our fair share of funding and maintain grant support. Please send an email or call Hamden’s state legislators and let them know appropriate funding for Hamden through ECS matters, and that we can't afford a reduction in Alliance grant funds. We need to protect and even increase the state funding for our public schools.
Below is contact information for Hamden's state representatives. Every call and every email matters. Thank you for your help.
