Lobato v. State Board of Education challenges the constitutionality of the present Colorado school finance system. Specifically, it argues that school funding isn’t adequate for local districts to provide the “thorough and uniform” education that they are promised in the constitution. The 23 plaintiffs include school districts, parents, and education organizations from across the state. In this session, attendees will learn about the constitutional and statutory issues surrounding school finance, the problems with the present system, and how to educate and organize their communities around these important issues.
