Abstract
Elected officials within the state of Colorado continue to attempt to address issues related to the funding of P-20 education, despite numerous limits placed on them due to anti-tax Constitutional Amendments and a divided legislative body, where the senate is controlled by the Republicans and the house is controlled by the Democrats. There is a growing sense of frustration in the state that could result in ballot initiatives aimed at restructuring the state’s funding formula.1 The current state of P-20 funding has been described as “a slow-moving collision involving Colorado tax policy, growing inequities in public schools, and other spending priorities like [the] state’s health insurance program and roads.”2
