Over the past couple of years, we've seen consistent headlines about significant state budget deficits and the difficult decisions lawmakers are needing to make in response. As we look to the future, there are legitimate questions about what all this means for the state and how it might impact education funding. Join us to hear from the head of Governor Polis' Office of State Planning and Budgeting, Mark Ferrandino, as he discusses the current and projected state of Colorado's budget and what that could mean for schools and students.
Following our conversation on the state budget, we’ll turn inward to reflect on where the charter sector stands today and the opportunities that lie ahead. League staff will share updates on sector performance, new polling insights, and tools to help schools tell their stories. You’ll also hear about upcoming events, resources, and school services designed to support your work in the year ahead. This session will highlight both the challenges and the opportunities facing Colorado’s charter schools and how, together, we can position our sector for continued success.
