Learning Gaps Between Low-Income And Wealthy Students Are Widening This Coalition Wants To Give Families Money To Narrow Them

A classroom at Denver’s South High School, Tuesday, May 5, 2020. A bipartisan coalition hopes to ask the state’s residents to pass a ballot measure in the fall that they say would help Colorado’s children recover from pandemic-related learning loss and close persistent decades-long academic learning gaps. If passed, supporters say Colorado would be the first state in the country to build a long-term plan to prevent learning gaps from forming in the first place through after-school and summer programming. The ballot initiative could provide as much as $1,500 to low-income families to choose from a menu of approved out-of-school learning opportunities including tutoring, extra support for students with special needs, enrichment activities, and career and technical education including training programs, among others.

Advocates push ballot measure to fund out-of-school ed programs

A group of education advocates are working to put a measure on this yearâs ballot designed to enhance out-of-school learning opportunities to help youth do better in school. The idea, which would be funded by a 5% increase in the stateâs taxes on recreational marijuana, would provide free funding for such things as tutors, special technical training or learning English or some other foreign language. The measure would create the Colorado Learning Enrichment and Academic Progress Program, which also would provide for a replacement to curricula that some school districts have stopped offering because of budgetary shortfalls, such as music, dance and the arts.
