Word coming out of DC is that the federal economic stimulus package, a.k.a the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, could mean $415 million. Rep. Jared Polis also has a draft estimate of what Colorado school districts would receive.
This obviously is good news considering the revenue problems in Colorado. But regardless, Colorado needs to keep the big picture in mind and keep an eye focused on comprehensive fiscal reform (including tax modernization).
Otherwise, we'll cement ourselves at the bottom of the list in education funding, as well as other critical priorities.
