You somehow manage to willfully misread or miss the entire point. Yes of course Hartford can't match the per student municipal funding of suburban Connecticut. That is why I said that the issue is the school funding is being done on the municipal level.

Municipal property taxes paying for schools reduces the equalizing effect that state funding should have.

Yes, New England Republicans do tend to be much different than other states. No educational spending is not solely tied to party platform that ignores that blue states on average have higher house hold incomes and GDP due to historical & socioeconomic factors.

This is just yelling at clouds rather than seeking meaningful solutions to resolve issue. You are complaining that senators are upset about the failure of the educational system. Btw one of those senators introduced legislation to prevent this from happening again. Link.

They're certainly not going to admit to systemic failures.

Did you read the article? What do you think "State Senate Minority Leader Stephen Harding and Sen. Eric Berthel said in their Dec. 19 letter. 'We continue to seek accountability as to how this student was illiterate when she graduated and how the system failed her year after year'" they meant when they wrote this.
