Colorado's 2025-26 Budget Allocates Additional Funds to Denver Public Schools, Sparking Mixed Reactions

Published on 4.24.25

  The allocation of funds in Colorado's 2025-26 budget for schools has sparked a mixed reaction, with some viewing it as a step forward while others see it as falling short. The increase in funding is attributed to a compromise between lawmakers and Governor Jared Polis' administration, which aims to improve educational outcomes for students in Denver Public Schools. The increased funding will be used to support various initiatives, including hiring more teachers and improving infrastructure at schools. Additionally, the budget allocates funds for programs aimed at closing the achievement gap and providing additional resources for English language learners. Lawmakers are optimistic that this increase in funding will have a positive impact on student outcomes, with some predicting improved graduation rates and better academic performance. However, others argue that more needs to be done to address the state's education system as a whole. The budget also includes provisions for increased transparency and accountability measures, which aim to ensure that funds are being used effectively and efficiently. This includes regular audits and evaluations of school districts to monitor progress and identify areas for improvement.
