Bill would improve our education choices
Having had four children attend Littleton Academy, I'm a strong
supporter of the educational advantages offered by charter
schools.
The positive school environment my children encountered was a
great asset to help them learn. That's why I was very encouraged to
see Colorado House Bill 11-1089, sponsored by Rep. Kathleen Conti,
House District 38, being considered.
This bill would allow Colorado charter schools to apply for
federal and state grants. They currently are not permitted to do
so. This bill would level the playing field for charter schools,
which are at a disadvantage in raising funds for education.
Let's hope this bill becomes law. Colorado needs all the good
education choices it can get.
