The layers of school finance dysfunction explained

from The West Steps Hosted by Colorado Children's Campaign

This week on The West Steps we untangle school finance in Colorado. It starts in an unexpected place: huge variations in local property tax rates that no Coloradan has ever voted on or had a say in. We’re not just talking about local decisions by voters to raise money for school technology or special programs. The problem goes deeper than you think—but there is a potential solution. Listen in with Leslie Colwell, our Vice President of K-12 Education Initiatives, as we go into the ultimate explanation of our dysfunctional school finance.
