Districts Oppose Amendment 80

Amendment 80 on the upcoming Colorado ballot proposes allowing public funds to be used for private school funding. This amendment has raised concerns among public education advocates, [see the official website] as it could divert critical resources away from public schools, potentially leading to decreased funding for teacher salaries, classroom supplies, and support services. Some school districts in Colorado have taken a stance by passing resolutions against the amendment [check out Boulder District’s board resolution] emphasizing their commitment to protecting public education. Learn from other states, like Arizona, which depleted their education funding by allowing private schools to get public school voucher dollars and still prevented certain students in their schools.
