ColoradoBill would cut $1.75 million from out-of-school program grants
The vetoed proposal would cut Colorado’s out-of-school program grants by $1.75 million for 2026–27 if the state budget became law and provided at least that amount.
What it does
The vetoed proposal would cut $1.75 million from out-of-school program grants for 2026–27, only if the state budget became law and provided at least that much for the program.
Under the vetoed proposal’s funding language, Colorado would not have to set aside $3.5 million each year for the program for 2024–25 through 2026–27.
Argument forIf the cut applied, Colorado could spend $1.75 million less from its main state fund, leaving money available for other needs.
Argument againstIf the cut applied, programs serving students outside school hours could have less grant money to support their activities.
More detail
Colorado would cut money for the out-of-school time grant program by $1.75 million. The adjustment covers money from the main state fund for the Department of Education’s Student Pathways out-of-school time grant program. The 2026–27 state budget would have to become law. No cut would be required if that budget provided less than $1.75 million or no money for the program. The adjustment would cover the 2026–27 state fiscal year and take effect on the later of the proposal’s effective date or the state budget’s effective date.
Colorado would have no fixed $3.5 million yearly funding requirement in the amended provision. This provision concerns money from the main state fund for the out-of-school time grant program. The governor’s veto prevented this provision from taking effect. Section 1 would have taken effect upon passage.
