Education ballot measures

On November 5, 2024, 11 education-related ballot measures were on the ballot in 10 states. To read more about education ballot measures on the ballot in 2024, click here.

In Colorado, there was one education ballot measures, Amendment 80. Ballotpedia identified this as one of three noteworthy education ballot measures taking place in 2024. To read more about our coverage of the amendment, click here.

What would this measure do?

A "yes" vote supported the following: providing in the state constitution that "each K-12 child has the right to school choice;" providing that “all children have the right to equal opportunity to access a quality education,” and that “parents have the right to direct the education of their children;" and defining school choice to include neighborhood schools, charter schools, private schools, homeschools, open enrollment options, and future innovations in education.

A "no" vote opposed creating a constitutional right to school choice, which would include neighborhood schools, charter schools, private schools, homeschools, open enrollment options, and future innovations in education.

Support

School Choice for Every Child led the campaign in support of Amendment 80.

Officials

• State Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer (R)
• State Sen. Larry Liston (R)
• State Sen. Paul Lundeen (R)
• State Sen. Byron Pelton (R)
• State Rep. Anthony Hartsook (R)
• House Minority Leader Rose Pugliese (R)
• State Rep. Rick Taggart (R)

Former Officials

• Former Gov. Bill Owens (R)

Organizations

• Advance Colorado Institute
• Catholic Education Partners
• Colorado Association of Private Schools
• Colorado Catholic Bishops
• Colorado Catholic Conference
• Independence Institute
• Ready Colorado

Individuals

• Michael Fields (R) - President of Advance Colorado and sponsor of the initiative

Arguments

• House Minority Leader Rose Pugliese (R-14): "[The initiative] would provide essential protection against ongoing attacks on this fundamental principle and is a vital step in securing the ability of parents to make the best educational decisions for their children, regardless of future political pressures."
• Michael Fields, president of Advance Colorado Action: "We’ve had broad bipartisan support of school choice for decades here, but I feel like that might not be the case in the future. We’ve seen legislation this year going after charter schools. I think that will continue in the future from some legislators. This is strictly locking in what we already have in place. I just think that parents should be in charge of education. I think it’s easier when they have resources to send their kid to the school that they want to. I believe that there’s good fits for kids in all different types of education. I just think that the options should be available for everybody."

Opposition

Public Schools Strong led the campaign in opposition to the ballot initiative.

Officials

• State Rep. Emily Sirota (D)
• Mayor of Denver Michael Johnston (Nonpartisan)

Political Parties

• Democratic Party of Colorado
• Green Party of Colorado

Unions

• AFSCME Colorado
• Colorado Education Association

Organizations

• ACLU of Colorado
• Advocates for Public Education Policy
• American Association of University Women
• Bell Policy Center
• Colorado AFL-CIO
• Colorado Association of School Executives
• Colorado Fiscal Institute
• Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition
• Colorado WINS
• League of Women Voters of Colorado
• New Era Colorado
• One Colorado
• Stand for Children
• United for a New Economy

Arguments

• Kevin Vick, president of the Colorado Education Association: "They’re using the innocuous word of ‘choice’ as a vehicle for what opens the door clearly for a voucher scheme. There’s no other reason to include private schools in [the initiative] unless that is their ultimate intent. ... We’re definitely concerned about the implications of this ballot measure. It has the potential to do tremendous damage to already fragile school funding, and we’re also extremely worried about the lack of transparency built into this measure with public funds."
• Lisa Escárcega and Kathy Plomer of the Colorado Board of Education: "We can all agree education shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. It should be tailored to each individual child and, thankfully, in Colorado parents already have the option to send their kids to the public or charter school of their choosing. Amendment 80 is not about choice, it’s about hurting our public schools. Don’t be fooled by this backdoor attempt to push money to private schools at the expense of our kids in public schools. Our mission, just like Colorado parents, is to ensure all kids have equal access to a high-quality education — not just the few."
