Colorado students and educators are already being asked to do more with less every year — and now lawmakers are considering even more cuts to public education.
Despite being one of the wealthiest states in the country, Colorado chronically underfunds its public schools by $4,000 to $4,500 per student per year compared to the national average. Now, facing a budget shortfall of more than a billion dollars, we must prevent state legislators from cutting public education funding to balance their budget.
Let’s be clear: A cut is a cut, and students pay the price.
On March 20th, educators, students, families, and community partners from across Colorado will rally at the State Capitol to demand No More Education Cuts and call for the fully funded public schools our students deserve.
