🚨 A lot happened in education policy this summer—funding delays, new legislation, and now… a shutdown. 👀

We’re back with Season 2 of Can We Get A Minute to break it all down.

Colorado again leads the way in the teacher pay penalty. What's that? It's the gap between wages of teachers & college graduates working in other fields. It's one of the reasons we need a graduated income tax - to raise revenue and pay teachers fairly. https://t.co/WZ5vdl9DEl

A statement from @bellpolicy President @cdegruykennedy on the disastrous bill that Congress passed. It will hit rural Colorado especially hard, and those who voted for it will have to live with the wreckage they created. #copolitics #coleg

@teslaownersSV @neuralink @ALScyborg There was technology doing this to support children and individuals with speaking and mobility limitations over a decade ago. Lots of options to enhance the lifestyles of many impacted people

@YinzerInCO @DenverChannel That money was only able to be used for buildings and technology. BEST grant has been put to amazing use.

[Denver7 News @DenverChannel]

Instead of sending that money to schools, the state used it to pay for other expenses. https://t.co/lUdgEjNNii

@bobgcolorado @BellPolicy @LisaWeil1 @EricaBreunlin It's not additional, it was supposed to be given to education, but we cut instead.

[Bell Policy Center @BellPolicy]

Colorado is morally and legally obligated to adequately fund schools, says @LisaWeil1, Executive Director of Great Education Colorado. Well done piece by @EricaBreunlin about the need to start planning to close the $3.5 to $4.1 billion annual funding deficit for K-12 education. #copolitics https://t.co/x6sF4Fr95G

Help us rename TABOR: Thirty years after its passage, TABOR has mutated into something unrecognizable, warping state finances and acting as a shield for the rich who avoid paying their fair share. If we had our druthers, we’d rename it Tax Avoiding Billionaires Openly Rejoice. What would you call it? Click on the link to share your great ideas with us! If you're so inclined, share this with your friends and on social so everyone can chime in! https://t.co/w4YajJsGgH #copolitics

States that have raised taxes on the wealthy didn't cause them to leave.

Instead, those states raised the revenue needed to fund better public services without needing to take more from low- to middle-income households.

The freeze on new enrollments in Colorado’s childcare programs for working families (CCCAP) should be concerning to everyone. Thank you Jen Brown and @ColoradoSun for this important story on a topic the Bell has worked on extensively #coleg #copolitics https://t.co/JDs7QQYqef
