Gov. Jared Polis signed into law Colorado's school finance act, laying the path toward eliminating a state practice used since the Great Recession that holds back money from schools. In the 2023-24 school year, the state will spend more than $9 billion on education and withhold $141 million from schools. Statewide, spending per student next year will increase to $10,614, $1,000 more per student than this year. The school finance bill also will fund state-authorized charter schools at a level similar to other schools starting in 2023-24, adding more than $42 million for those schools.
