The 2010-11 School Finance Act was introduced yesterday afternoon (3/17/10). The bill included many anticipated budget cuts for K-12 public education. However we were pleased to see that the $5 million in facilities funding for charter schools remained in-tact.
This is a large victory for charter schools considering the tenuous state budget environment. In recent years, charter school supporters like you have advocated for equitable funding for charters. We believe that your past emails and calls to elected officials have made a difference and are a big part of why this critical charter school funding has not been cut in the 2010-11 School Finance Act. Thank you for making your voice heard in support of Colorado's charter schools!
