🚨 THE DEATH OF COLORADO PUBLIC EDUCATION: Schools Bleed Out While Out-of-Touch Politicians Collect Rewards 🚨 Don't let the mainstream spin fool you. The mainstream media wants you to celebrate a measly per-student funding bump ($377 to $528) from the 2026 School Finance Act. But here is the terrifying reality: Our schools are still facing mass closures, massive budget deficits, and skyrocketing class sizes. The math doesn't lie, even if the politicians do. In Adams 12 alone, we are losing 1,400 students next year, erasing $16 million from the budget. This new state money isn’t a raise—it’s a pathetic refill that barely catches the district before it plummets further. The Real Destruction Across Our Districts: Adams 12: Planning to permanently close 5 to 7 schools by August 2027. Class sizes have already exploded from 28 to 35 students. Jeffco: Eliminating 139 positions while suffocating under a $60 million budget shortfall. Westminster: Voted unanimously to close two campuses and completely eliminate middle school grades at five schools. The Teacher Exodus: Veteran teachers with over two decades of experience are literally mowing lawns on the side to make ends meet, while others flee to better-paying districts. The Height of Incompetence and Political Favors While our kids suffer in overcrowded classrooms, the "leadership" responsible for this disaster is getting promoted. Look no further than Lori Goldstein, President of the Adams 12 School Board. Under her completely incompetent watch, the district has cratered, losing over 6,000 students since 2018. But instead of being held accountable for failing our community, Goldstein was handed a special favor—appointed as a State Representative. Why? Because she has proven she is perfectly willing to ignore sound judgment, silence parental concerns, and blindly carry the party line at the absolute expense of our children. It's the ultimate insider back-scratching while local families pay the price. The Single-Item Yard Sale & Academic Collapse The Democrats running this state are utterly incapable of managing anything more complex than a single-item yard sale. Their entire playbook consists of one line: "More money per student!" Yet, despite throwing money into a broken system, academic performance is tanking. Under this failed leadership, Adams 12 schools received a miserable 55.6% performance score—essentially at par with a failing Chicago public school. Inflation, rising health insurance costs, and crumbling infrastructure are outstripping their band-aid bills. They have left our schools academically bankrupt and completely dependent on the whims of the state legislature rather than stable local funding. Families have had enough. People are aggressively choosing home school options or packing up and moving out of state entirely just to rescue their children from this systemic collapse. Our school boards will finalize these devastating budgets in June, and they’ll be begging you to give up your TABOR refunds in November to fix the cliff they drove us over. Stop rewarding incompetence. Our kids deserve leaders, not party-line puppets. #SaveOurSchools #Adams12 #ColoradoPolitics #EducationCrisis #AccountabilityNow #FixCoSchools #AcademicFailure thebrightonblade.com/news/more-mone… cde.state.co.us/schoolview/fra…
