| Abstract | This article summarizes the Governor Budget proposals in the New England region. Governor Ned Lamont of Connecticut proposed restructuring, refinancing the systems' payments and slowing the rate of increase in the teachers' pension fund and the state employee pension fund, both of which are underfunded. Lamont also announced that for the first time, cities and towns will be asked to contribute $73 million toward municipal teachers' pension funds. At the same time the governor will provide cities and towns with an extra $65 million in Education Cost Sharing grants. In Maine, Governor Janet Mills increased spending in K-12 education, which is slated to receive an additional $126 million over the previous two-year budget cycle and for the University of Maine System. Governor Charlie Baker of Massachusetts presented to lawmakers a $42.7 billion budget for fiscal 2020, which represents a 1.5% increase over the prior year's budget. Governor Chris Sununu of New Hampshire provides $64 million for targeted school building aid for the state's poorest school districts. The per-pupil cost stays at $3,636 per student. In Rhode Island, Governor Gina Raimondo's budget for education increases funding for K-12 by $30 million. It also increases the phasing in of PreK classrooms with $10 million to maintain current PreK classrooms and expand classrooms, and $2.25 to $5 million in dedicated funding for English Language Learners. Lastly, Vermont's Governor Phil Scott is asking for a $7 million increase for the Child Care Financial Assistance Program, which would raise subsidy levels for low- and moderate-income families. Scott is also asking for $2 million for the Department of Children and Families to add more family service workers and resource coordinators to serve at-risk families. The budget also calls for $1 million for the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation to fund a "nondegree" grant program that adults can pursue as an alternative to college. Also, the budget for Vermont state colleges would be increased by $3 million, an amount Scott says he would allow eliminating a 3% tuition increase slated to begin in the fall. (ERIC). |
