DENVER - Governor Polis released a statement following the passage of Proposition II.
“This year, we saw historic demand from Colorado families for free universal preschool. Coloradans value early childhood education and I am thrilled people voted in favor of providing more funding for our free universal preschool program that is saving families money, and this voter-approved measure will help fund more preschool for kids. Thank you to all voters who made their voices heard, and thank you for continuing Colorado’s clear history of supporting early education,” said Governor Polis.
Under Governor Polis’s leadership and in partnership with the legislature, Colorado continues to serve as a national model for early childhood education, with free universal preschool saving families $6,000 on average and free full-day kindergarten.
