This is the bottom line—vouchers hurt our students the most by taking away dollars from public schools. Without funding, public schools can’t give students the support they need to learn, grow, and thrive. Learn more about how vouchers hurt students:

This year, #coleg needs to take this opportunity to create "Colorado's Blueprint for Student Success" to move #edcolo from where we are to where we need to get. #GetItDone @greated.

Why NOT to sign the petition for Initiative 138 in #edcolo.
@joshcowenMSU While expanding the pool served via public $ isn't inherently bad, it is bad public policy when the increased public spending:.1. increases inequity (funding primarily high income families).2. increases inefficiency (duplicative, dispersed systems).3. lacks any accountability.
