Education advocacy groups across Colorado—including Colorado PTA—are throwing their support behind Proposition CC, the ballot measure that aims to improve public education and transportation funding in the state. Here's why:

What is Prop CC?

Prop CC will allow Colorado to keep all funds already collected under the current tax rates. It will not raise taxes. Anything that is above the current revenue cap (set by TABOR) will be distributed straight into K-12 education, as well as higher ed and transportation infrastructure.

Why support this bill?

• Colorado boasts one of the top economies in the country, yet we spend $2,703 less per student than the national average, ranking among the worst in the country and below some of the poorest states.
• Despite our booming economy, Colorado ranks LAST in the nation in wage competitiveness for teachers.
• Nearly 60% of school districts across our state have a four-day week due to underfunding.

Colorado PTA believes that Proposition CC can improve these statistics by empowering the state to tackle immediate funding priorities. They are urging all education voters to learn more at publiceducationvoter.org and support Prop CC at the polls on November 5th!
