Why we checked itA specific claim about doubling state special education funding is verifiable against Connecticut budget records and would be significant if inaccurate.
What we foundConnecticut's dedicated state special education funding (the Excess Cost Grant) rose from a long-standing cap of roughly $140 million to approximately $221 million in FY2025 — an increase of around 58%, not a near-doubling.
