Vote No: <\/strong>Amendment 80<\/strong><\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amendment 80 would amend the Colorado Constitution to include the right to school choice. School choice is already protected by Colorado law.\u00a0 Colorado families have exercised school choice for decades and there are no threats to their ability to continue, so this constitutional amendment is unnecessary.\u00a0 It is a deceitful and misguided effort to open the door to harm our students with vouchers that WILL take money away from our already underfunded schools.\u00a0 Colorado ranks in the bottom half of states for school funding, and vouchers will only exacerbate inequity and student outcomes.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
