The families of the 26 Newtown school shooting victims each would receive $281,000 from donated funds under a proposal introduced at a public hearing in Newtown.
Under the proposal, additional money also would be allocated to other members of the school community.
Two teachers who were shot but survived the massacre would split $150,000. The families of the 12 additional children who were in the two classrooms shooter Adam Lanza entered would receive $20,000 each, said Alan Nevas, chair of the distribution committee that recommended how much and to whom funds would be distributed.
All of the money was raised through the Sandy Hook School Support Fund, a fund organized by the United Way of Western Connecticut and the Newtown Savings Bank immediately after the December 14 shooting.
