Colorado: Groups push for 2011 education initiative
Education spending advocates yesterday announced that they will push for a 2011 ballot initiative that would create a steady funding source for P-20 education. The group attempted to persuade lawmakers this year to refer the question to voters, but the measure failed. Great Futures Colorado says a new report by the Colorado School Finance Project indicates that schools throughout the state are resorting to cost-cutting measures that will have a “significant and lasting impact on students and families.”
