Ansonia-Derby Regional School Study

Ansonia-Derby School Regionalization Study

In May 2018, The Connecticut General Assembly approved Public Act 18-169, which appropriated funding for a school consolidation study for the Cities of Ansonia and Derby. In accordance with Connecticut State Statutes §10-39 through §10-43, the cities’ Boards of Aldermen subsequently appointed members of the Temporary Regional School Study Committee (TRSSC).

NVCOG’s function in the study was to serve as fiduciary and contracting authority. Following a Qualification Based Selection process for a study consultant, District Management Group, of Boston, MA, was selected as consultant.

The study analyzed a number of areas regarding the advisability of combining school districts. It also analyzed potential cost savings or operational efficiencies resulting from shared services in separate school districts. The TRSSC expired according to state statute in February 2022 and members chose not to issue a recommendation.
