Education advocates and district leaders say that they won’t know how individual districts will fare until they see the full details of McCluskie’s legislation. But some are worried.
McCluskie has met with school district leaders in recent weeks after drafting at least three school funding proposals. One of her proposals sparked more questions than answers for some districts, prompting a group of 11 superintendents to band together to voice their concerns to McCluskie with a letter penned March 25.
“Each and every student in Colorado is worthy of a high-quality education with the best teachers, and that requires, first and foremost, adequate base funding, as well as funding that reflects the needs of each learner,” the district leaders wrote. “As superintendents, it is our responsibility to advocate for each and every one of our children and their futures. However, without a sustainable funding source and adequate base funding, we fear that your proposal will have a negative impact on the very students you wish to support.”
