Within a comprehensive package of education proposals released Wednesday, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced that he wants to increase the state's share of school funding by $50 million.

Under Malloy's plan, Granby will see an increase of 1.55 percent in education funding from the state — from $5,394,276 in 2011-12 to $5,477,637 for the 2012-13 school year, or an additional $83,357.

East Granby will realize an even greater increase of 3.74 percent, from $1,301,142 to $1,349,822, or an additional $48,680.

While most of the added $50 million in the governor's education reform package would go to the 30 lowest-performing districts in the state, other districts — such as Granby and East Granby — should see increases and no district should receive less in ECS funding than last year.

"We have held towns harmless. No one is losing ECS funding," Malloy said in a news release.

That "sends a clear signal to our children that we will make the investment and deliver on our promise of high-quality education for every student in Connecticut."

In January, the superintendents of schools in Granby and East Granby unveiled preliminary spending packages.

Granby Superintendent of Schools Granby Alan Addley requested a budget that calls for a 1.3 percent spending increase in 2012-13 – a total of $354,000 over the current operating budget.

East Granby Superintendent of Schools Christine Mahoney's preliminary fiscal year 2012-13 budget figure that, when factoring in the loss of $97,000 in grants, collective bargaining agreement obligations and projected fuel and insurance costs, calls for an 8 percent — or about $1 million — increase over current year’s spending. Mahoney stressed, however, that the figure was merely one to start the budget discussion.
