This election year, more than 30 school districts in Colorado are asking voters for more money in the form of bonds and mill levy overrides. Denver Public Schools asking for a $975 million bond, Cherry Creek Schools asking for $950 million, Adams 12 Five Star Schools asking for $830 million, Douglas County Schools asking for $490 million and Aurora Public schools asking for $1 billion.
Unlike some states, Colorado’s education budget doesn’t provide funding specifically for buildings.“The facilities in our school districts are really at the brunt of the local taxpayer, because there's no real focus at the state level to fund facilities,” Rainey said.While taxpayers are on the hook for new buildings and improvements, most of the bonds on this year’s ballot will not raise taxes.
