• Colorado School Finance Act signed into law, with some adjustments to funding for Western Slope districts (skyhinews.com) — A new Colorado School Finance Act, backed in part by Centennial Sen. Chris Kolker, boosts per-pupil funding statewide while avoiding K-12 cuts despite a tight budget. The law temporarily freezes updated cost-of-living factors, slightly reducing expected gains for some Western Slope districts, and begins shifting how enrollment is averaged to smooth future funding changes. Centennial families are affected through statewide funding levels and policy changes.
