Colorado students and parents deserve options

Fellow Colorado Republicans-

Yesterday, I sent a letter to the Chairwoman of the Colorado Democrat Party ([link removed]) regarding her Party's decision to abandon charter schools, students, and parents across the state.

As a mom of two elementary school-age children, the fight for better education and support for schools in Colorado is personal to me. Colorado Republicans believe that no child should be stuck in an underperforming school and that Colorado parents and students deserve options.

This is a critical issue for Colorado, which is why I sent a letter to the Colorado Democrat Party Chair asking her to call on Rep. Bacon and Sen. Story to withdraw HB 1295.

HB 1295 is a misguided and dangerous bill which would, in effect, take away the ability of parents to bring a high-performing charter school to their district, if their school board is anti-charter. The future of Colorado's children is at stake.

Friends, today that bill is going to be heard in the House Education Committee ([link removed]) . I'm asking you to take a minute and contact the Democrat representatives on this committee ([link removed]) and tell them to vote NO on this dangerous and destructive legislation.

Thanks,

Kristi Burton Brown

Additional Background:
* HB-1295 ([link removed]) is sponsored by state Rep. Bacon (D-Denver), who is also a member of the Denver Public School Board (can you say conflict of interest?)
* Under existing law, whenever a district rules against a charter school application, that school can then challenge their board's decision to the State Board of Education. The state board then looks at the facts and makes a determination based on what is best for those students and community.
* This legislation would take take away that due process, and create a "one-size fits all" standard for children in our minority and economically disadvantaged communities.

Can you chip in $5 or $10 today to help us keep fighting the Democrats? ([link removed])
