Agenda
Education is the bedrock of our strength as a state and, at this conference, we will be building toward a plan of action to support Colorado’s students and our state’s future.
We’re bringing people together from diverse communities to learn as a group, to get the word out to our own constituents, to discuss where we should go from here, and to get ready for meaningful action.
Who should attend?
Parents, educators, policymakers — anyone who believes in adequate and equitable funding for our schools. It’s time we address the growing inequities across districts, lost educational opportunities and a growing teacher shortage across our state. Come if you want to:

Learn about local and state funding issues
Gain skills to advocate for better investment in Colorado’s classrooms
Magnify your efforts by expanding your network
Commit to concrete action steps toward solving this unacceptable situation

Public schools not only empower our youth to realize their aspirations and dreams, but are the hub of community engagement, heart of the community and the economic engine to propel Colorado forward.
Become a part of a statewide coordinated effort to raise awareness and prepare Colorado voters to invest in our students, our communities and our state! Join hundreds of public education supporters from across Colorado and leave excited, fully engaged, and with a concrete plan of action to support all Colorado students.
