State Senator Jason Perillo Votes in Favor of Increased Special Education Funding

HARTFORD, CT – State Senator Jason Perillo (R-Shelton) voted in favor of legislation that would increase Special Education funding to $92.2 Million. Sen. Perillo stressed the importance of fully funding special education while staying within our state’s budgetary guardrails to ensure fiscal responsibility.

“Funding for special education is an incredible need for Connecticut, and funding is dire for our communities. The plan we proposed would double the proposed funding for special education while still abiding by our state’s fiscal guardrails. This is a win-win for everyone involved,” said Sen. Perillo.

“We can fully fund special education within the budget guardrails, protecting both the economy and taxpayers. Pushing for funding outside these limits is irresponsible and threatens our economy, risking higher taxes for Connecticut residents. Special Education deserves support, and with this plan, can be fully funded while still being done responsibly to ensure long-term financial stability,” said Sen. Perillo.
