The Colorado Joint Budget Committee is addressing K-12 education funding, with several members expressing concerns about what they say amounts to $150 million in cuts to public schools.
Adams 12 Five Star Schools is one of the districts worried about the proposed budget, which officials say could disproportionately affect districts experiencing declining enrollment or limited property tax revenues.
At the center of the debate is the state’s approach to managing student counts. Some educators argue that the governor’s proposed funding formula could significantly impact districts facing unique financial challenges.
