When it came to giving schools more local funding, Colorado voters were reluctant to raise taxes this year.
Typically presidential election years can be good years for districts to ask voters to raise taxes for schools. But this year, only about half of the requests, or 22 out of 41, were successful, according to unofficial results as of Friday morning. That’s fewer than in 2020 when about 90% of the measures were successful and also in 2016 when 68% of measures passed.
This year, of those 22 that voters approved, only 11 were actually tax increases.
