Superintendent Doctor Negron on Monday told the New Haven Board of Education that the district will request $232,000,000 from the city for fiscal year 2027, while describing a separate $252,000,000 figure as the amount required to maintain current services and staffing.
The presentation, delivered with Chief Financial Officer Hernandez, summarized six public engagement forums used to shape the budget request and provided a high‑level revenue picture. Negron said the district’s major state contribution is the Education Cost Sharing (ECS) grant, which the presentation listed at about $142,500,000, and cited other state components including alliance funding and interdistrict magnet aid. The presenters said total district revenue runs about $341,000,000 when combining ECS, local contribution and other grants and federal funds.
