What is Initiative 63?
This ballot measure would increase support for Colorado's P-12 public schools by:
  • Providing $900 million in additional funding for P-12 public schools without changing taxes or tax rates.
  • Dedicating 1/3 of 1% of taxable income to the State Education Fund each year. 
  • Allowing these revenues to be retained in years of rebates. 
  • Directing funding for "attracting, retaining, and compensating teachers and student support professionals."
  • Requiring funds to supplement current spending, not supplant it.
Excited about that idea? We are too! But we need your support to get on the ballot.
