.@CTMirror opinion from our partner, ✅@EquableInst says there is no meaningful solution to addressing resource inequity w/out considering the unfair way that CT finances teacher pensions. 1/4 of all education spending in CT is on teacher retirement!

In English language Arts, only 19.9% of Hartford students met the benchmark on the 2024-25 #SBAC - compared to 38.8% in East Hartford. But @Hartford_Public still gets fewer per pupil resources from the state to cover the cost of teacher pensions. Not fair.
Connecticut pays the full cost of #teacherpensions for districts, but doesn’t factor that into school funding. So students in some districts get less than others. https://t.co/3vq598GNxI
For example, @OrangeCTBOE gets more per pupil pension subsidies than nearby Ansonia—and produces better student outcomes.

From @nasokoloff on a new report from @EducateCT:
“English learners/multilingual learners spoke 148 different non-English languages in the 2023-24 school year, with Spanish, Portuguese, and Arabic among the most prevalent.”
This is worth celebrating—and STRENGTHENING.
