 State Education Grant Factors for Ansonia and Derby
The major reasons why Ansonia’s total education aid from the state was greater than Derby’s in FY 2003-04 are: (1) Ansonia receives a larger per-student ECS grant than Derby, (2) Ansonia is a priority school district and Derby is not, and (3) Derby receives a lower state reimbursement for certain educational expenses than Ansonia.
The first is that Ansonia is less wealthy than Derby according to the way the ECS formula measures town wealth.
The difference in ECS grants for the two districts is largely attributable to Ansonia’s lower wealth ranking and the fact that in FY 2003-04, Derby was subject to the ECS cap and Ansonia was not.
