Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific quantitative claim about doubling special education funding over an eight-year period — verifiable against state budget records.
What we foundThe available evidence directly contradicts the claim that Connecticut doubled special education funding over the last eight years; the primary state grant held flat at roughly $140 million from 2011 through 2022 before rising to $181 million by FY 2024, and total state-level special education spending grew by approximately 25.5% over five years, nowhere near doubling.
