Last week, we gathered to celebrate the completion of another legislative session and reflect on what we accomplished together for Colorado kids.
Here's to all we've achieved together - and to the work ahead! ๐
We're so excited that SB26-125 has been signed into law! ๐ This bill enshrines the rights of students with disabilities into state law and gives families a state-level process to address complaints when discrimination occurs.

Federal support for students with disabilities is shrinking and Colorado has a responsibility to step up where the federal government is stepping down.

We're so excited the Continuation of Child Care Contribution Tax Credit is moving forward!
This proven tool expands child care access for families and strengthens local economies, delivering long-term benefits for children and the workforce alike.
Last week was a busy one for our team at the Capitol!
Our policy directors spent long days meeting with lawmakers, testifying on bills, and making sure kids and families stay at the center of policy decisions.
