East Hartford Public Schools (EHPS) continues to evaluate every grant opportunity available to minimize the financial impact on the overall Town of East Hartford budget, adding only required Special Education (SPED) positions to the FY23 general budget. Even with the SPED positions added and $1.1 million of contractual salary increases, EHPS managed to reduce its overall salary costs by almost $200,000. The categories driving the overall increase, either contractual in nature or outside of the direct control of EHPS, reflect continuation of current services.
