Why we checked itClaims that special education costs represent 30% of budgets is a specific figure verifiable against Connecticut school district budget data.
What we foundThe claim that healthcare 'could be thirty percent of budgets right now' is broadly consistent with available data — Connecticut's Health & Human Services appropriations represent approximately 29–31% of the state budget in FY 26-27, and the national average for Medicaid alone is ~29.8% — though the figure is somewhat overstated for Connecticut's Medicaid share specifically (~23–25%).
