- Colorado is experiencing a teacher shortage crisis — 95% of teachers in rural districts don’t make enough salary to meet the cost of living.
- Colorado ranks #2 in return on educational investment, but we don’t invest enough to eliminate our achievement gaps.
- Half of Colorado school districts have one or more schools operating on a 4-day school week.

- Education funding has not recovered from the recession: In the 2017-18 school year alone, Colorado schools were underfunded by nearly $830 million.
- Colorado’s investment in education is lagging behind other states. We rank near the bottom in personal income invested in education.
- Colorado needs to spend between $2,000 and $2,800 more per pupil to meet the national average.
