From the birth of charter schools to Douglas County’s litigated Choice Scholarship Program, here’s the history of school choice in the State of Colorado.

Though the State Board of Education oversees and approves a multi-billion dollar budget and makes policies that govern Colorado’s 170+ school districts, it remains a relatively obscure aspect of our state’s government.

Charter schools have nearly a 3:1 favorable image and 76% of voters believe that parents should have a say in what their children are taught.

Pluralism in school model is a value that policymakers should prioritize when making decisions if they want to maintain strong public support for school choice.
