The court has found in favor of the Plaintiffs in this case, but both the State Board of Education and Gov. John Hickenlooper have decided to appeal. Keep up with the case's developments on our Lobato Webpage.

Senate Bill 191

What was once hotly debated legislation is now Colorado law. Check out CASB’s Educator Effectiveness and SB 191 webpage for news, an overview of the law, key dates and more.

School Finance and Constitutional Reform

Year after year, school districts have been forced to cut their budgets. Now, a number of efforts are underway to change school finance in Colorado – the Lobato Lawsuit, a TABOR Lawsuit, Initiative 25 and more. Learn about all of these issues on our School Finance webpage.

Race to the Top & Stimulus Information

As part of the economic stimulus package, President Barack Obama began the Race to the Top program. The effort pushed states and schools to think about and implement reform in exchange for grant funding. Colorado barely missed the first round, but another chance was announced in May 2011. Keep up-to-date at CASB’s Race to the Top page.
