Plan would free P-20 spending from TABOR

“The A23 formula has generated increased school spending every year until now,..” yet every year, the taxpayers hear how “under-funded” education is.
Amendment 50, passed last year, added a new source of revenue for education.
Bypassing TABOR for a special interest is a bad idea, even if the special interest is education. It has become obvious, especially recently, that our political leaders are fiscally irresponsible and measures like TABOR are needed to protect the tax-payers from the tax-spenders.
If better outcomes in the classroom are truly the desired goal, then cut overhead related to district administration, eliminate tenure for teachers of grades K-12 and fire the bottom 10% of the teaching population EVERY year.
As a taxpayer, the same old arguments for more funding grow tired. We need better management.
