A public school parent and teacher in New Haven is endorsing Josh Elliott for governor, citing his commitment to providing sustainable resources for public schools. The current Education Cost Sharing (ECS) formula aid amount has been frozen at $11,525 per student since 2013, and it hasn’t kept up with what students actually need.

Elliott’s Vision for Education

Josh Elliott understands the importance of creating policies that give public schools reliable resources, such as tying increases to ECS inflation. He also supports universal school lunch and tenant protections for families. As governor, Elliott would work to close the gap in education quality between wealthy and working-class communities.

Ned Lamont has been criticized for dragging his feet on protecting the status quo and refusing to ask the wealthy to pay their fair share. In contrast, Elliott would create a tax code where those at the top pay their fair share, ensuring that public schools have the resources they need to succeed.
