Dear Mitchell Elementary,

Tell the Gov­er­nor: Don’t Appeal Lobato Decision!

On Decem­ber 9, Judge Sheila Rap­pa­port issued a deci­sion in the Lobato case con­firm­ing what par­ents and stu­dents have been say­ing for years: “[Colorado’s] pub­lic school finance sys­tem is irra­tional, arbi­trary, and severely underfunded.”

The Judge ordered the leg­is­la­ture to do its con­sti­tu­tional duty – cre­ate a fund­ing sys­tem that pro­vides ade­quate resources to allow all stu­dents to meet stan­dards, and become effec­tive cit­i­zens and pro­duc­tive mem­bers of the workforce.

Now, the state can either focus on fix­ing the bro­ken school fund­ing sys­tem — or delay by appeal­ing the decision.

Click the link below to sign our let­ter call­ing on the Gov­er­nor, Attor­ney Gen­eral, and State Board of Edu­ca­tion mem­bers not to appeal the Lobato deci­sion. Colorado’s stu­dents have waited long enough.
