Colorado Supreme Court clears way for property tax increase, more school funding Erika Meltzer © Timothy Hurst/The Coloradoan Kindergarten teacher Kelly Hancock leads her new students to their classroom on Tuesday, Aug. 21, 2018, at Cache La Poudre Elementary School in Laporte, Colo.
Legislators can raise school district property taxes without getting new voter approval, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled Monday.
The decision marks a major victory for supporters of school finance reform who have watched Colorado struggle to fund its schools, even as K-12 education takes up a growing share of the state budget.
With news of the Supreme Court’s blessing, state senators Monday approved a bill that would gradually increase local taxes in many school districts, generating more than $91 million for schools next year and more than $288 million a year when fully implemented.
