What stands out about how Windsor is run
Read from the town’s budget and official records.
Windsor School District
Windsor’s K–12 school district. The schools are run by Windsor, so this money is part of the budget above.
Of the $27,771 per pupil, $14,654 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Connecticut districts overall: 58% local, 35% state, 8% federal.
