“The bill currently encompasses a dramatic reimagining of our school finance formula that is much more student-centered and drives funding to the kids who need additional resources, supports, interventions, and smaller class sizes,” Speaker Julie McCluskie said. chalkbeat.org/colorado/2024/…

CO House advances bill to overhaul the way state funds schools. It would drive more funds to at-risk students, English language learners, special education students + rural districts. Here is a simulator to see individual district impacts: co-lcs.shinyapps.io/co_school_fina… #edcolo #coleg

'We have an obligation, we have a responsibility, to think about all four corners of this state. Our decisions need to equitably share state resources so that every single kid gets a fair shot.' - Speaker Speaker Julie McCluskie on the new school finance formula.

'Any Colorado community is our community...I am willing to believe, as was pointed out in committee, that the cure to cancer isn't in a Pfizer lab it's in a second-grade classroom and that child might speak another language.' - AML Jennifer Bacon on the new school finance formula

It is time to recognize the disparities in school funding - a student centered approach is a more equitable approach! #edcolo #coleg #education coloradosun.com/2024/04/30/opi…

HB24-1448 is good for #edcolo students. Data analysts @ the legislature estimate that the new formula would mean: 100% of CO districts would receive more funds beginning in '25. All CO kids would receive more funding for their schools beginning in '25. Speaker Julie McCluskie Jennifer Bacon
