Colorado Budget Falls Short on Education Funding Needs

Colorado's $43.9 billion budget proposal includes significant increases for schools and colleges, with a focus on K-12 and higher education budgets. However, the plan falls short of what officials claim is needed. The state's universal school meals program, which provides free meals to all students, would be funded for only half a year under the current proposal. To save the program, voters may need to approve two ballot measures. A new report also highlights the persistence of racial and socioeconomic segregation in Colorado's school attendance zones, recommending that districts revise their boundaries at least every four years.

Lawmakers are urged to correct systemic racial disparities in school transportation and improve the state's school choice system by adopting a uniform enrollment window and providing more information about schools' discipline policies. The committee also suggests revising school attendance zones every four years, considering racial integration as part of the rezoning process, to prevent segregation from becoming entrenched while maintaining student stability.
