Summary of Legislation
Beginning in FY 2025-26, the bill creates a new school finance formula to establish total
program funding for the state’s 178 school districts, to be phased in over six years. The bill also
restructures the distribution of Permanent Fund interest and income.
New School Finance Formula
Under the bill, a district’s total program funding is calculated as follows, with each component of
the new formula discussed in more detail below.
District Total Program Funding =
Foundation funding
base per pupil x funded pupil count without online and extended high school
+
At-risk funding
base per pupil x 0.25 or 0.32 x at-risk student count
+
English Language Learner (ELL) funding
base per pupil x 0.25 x ELL student count
+
Special education funding
base per pupil x 0.25 x special education student count
+
Cost of living funding
base per pupil x cost of living factor x funded pupil count without online/extended high school
+
Size funding
base per pupil x size factor x funded pupil count without online and extended high school
+
Locale funding
(base per pupil x locale factor x funded pupil count without online and extended high
school) + $100,000 for some districts
+
Online and extended high school funding
flat per pupil rate x online and extended high school count
Formula structure. Under current law, a district’s cost of living and size factors are used
multiplicatively to calculate a preliminary per pupil amount, which is then used to calculate a
district’s at-risk and ELL funding. The bill removes this multiplicative structure. Instead, each
factor is calculated directly using the base per pupil amount, and then funding for each factor is
additively summed to calculate total district funding.
Funded pupil count. The bill makes two changes to the calculation of a district’s funded pupil
count. Page 3
May 1, 2024 HB 24-1448
Averaging of student counts. Under current law, a district’s funded pupil count is the greater
of a district’s current year student count, or a two-, three-, four-, or five-year average of
student counts. The bill eliminates the fifth year of averaging, so that the funding pupil
count is the greatest of the current year student count or the average count over two, three,
or four years.
Minimum funded pupil count. Under current law, a district receives funding for the greater
of their calculated funded pupil count or 50 pupils. The bill increases the minimum funded
pupil count to 60.
Foundation funding. The base per pupil amount, which is $8,496.38 for FY 2024-25 and
constitutionally required to increase each year by at least the rate of inflation, is multiplied by
the district’s funded pupil count to determine a district’s foundation funding.
Student factors. The bill modifies the current at-risk and ELL factors, and creates a new factor
providing funding based on the number of special education students in a district. At-risk, ELL,
and special education factors are calculated directly off the base per pupil amount.
At-risk. The bill increases the at-risk factor from 0.12 to 0.25 for most districts, except that
districts with a funded pupil count of less than 7,000 and an at-risk percentage of more than
70 percent receive an additional 0.07, for a total at-risk factor of 0.32. The bill does not
change how at-risk students are counted.
ELL. The bill increases the ELL factor from 0.08 to 0.25.
Special education. The bill adds a new factor for special education students, set at 0.25. The
bill does not change categorical funding for special education.
Online and extended high school. The bill does not change how online and extended high
school funding are calculated, compared to FY 2023-24, with extended high school and
online students funded at a flat per student rate ($9,738 in FY 2023-24) that grows annually
by the rate of inflation.
District factors. The bill modifies the calculation of the size and cost of living factors and
creates a new locale factor for some districts. District factors are calculated directly off the base
per pupil amount.
Cost of living. Under current law, district cost of living factors are applied only to the portion
of the base associated with personnel costs, and because of the way they are calculated, can
never decrease. Under the bill, a district’s cost of living factor is applied to the full base. In
addition, factors are recalculated every two years by comparing district cost of living to the
cost in the lowest cost of living district. Cost of living factors can thus increase or decrease
every two years when recalculated, but cannot exceed 0.23.
Size. The bill utilizes the same size factor calculation structure as is in current law, except that
only districts with a funded pupil count of 6,500 or less receive size factor funding. The new
formula does not include the existing size factor smoothing and charter school subtraction
provisions. Page 4
May 1, 2024 HB 24-1448
Locale. The bill adds a new factor based on a district’s locale designation, as determined by
the federal National Center for Education Statistics. Only districts with the following locale
designations receive funding, at the weight in parenthesis, and districts classified as rural
remote or town remote receive their locale factor calculation, plus $100,000.
o Rural Fringe (0.15)
o Rural Distant (0.2)
o Rural Remote (0.25)
o Town Fringe (0.025)
o Town Distant (0.05)
o Town Remote (0.10)
If the federal locale factor designation does not align with a district’s actual characteristics,
the Colorado Department of Education (CDE), in consultation with Legislative Council Staff,
may adjust the designation accordingly.
Implementation. The bill phases in the implementation of the new formula over six years,
including a hold harmless provision for districts and a process for reviewing implementation.
Phase in period and hold harmless. Under the bill, districts receive the greater of their total
program under current law, plus 0.5 percent, or their phased in total program, calculated as
the total program under the current formula, plus:
o 18 percent of the difference between the total program calculated under the current
formula and the new formula in FY 2025-26;
o 34 percent of the difference in FY 2026-27,
o 50 percent of the difference in FY 2027-28;
o 66 percent of the difference in FY 2028-29; and
o 82 percent of the difference in FY 2029-30.
The hold harmless provision remains in place through FY 2029-30, the last year of the
phase-in period. Beginning in FY 2030-31, a district’s total program is calculated based solely
on the new formula.
Review of new formula. During the phase-in period, the Joint Budget Committee (JBC) must
monitor the fiscal impact of district total program determinations, and consider economic
conditions, the trend of statewide local share and State Education Fund (SEF), and any other
relevant factors. On or after January 1, 2025, the JBC must develop a sustainability plan with
recommendations for how to fully fund new total program amounts, with the plan reviewed
annually, beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
For FY 2024-25 through FY 2029-30, the bill establishes conditions that, if met, pause the
implementation of the new formula during the phase in period. The conditions include the
following:
o the change in local share of total program is less than inflation minus 2 percent over
the prior year in a property tax assessment year or decreases by at least 2 percent in
a property tax non-assessment year; or
o the March revenue forecast used by the JBC for the budget estimates that the
income tax diversion to the SEF will decrease by 5 percent or more in the current or
next budget year. Page 5
May 1, 2024 HB 24-1448
The bill specifies the data and documents used to determine if these conditions have
occurred. The JBC must notify the legislature and the Commissioner of Education if any of
these conditions are met and CDE must calculate district’s total program using the formula
used for the budget year when the condition occurred.
Reporting. Beginning in January 2026, CDE must include in their annual SMART Act hearing
an update on the implementation of the new school finance formula, including trends
related to enrollment and certain per pupil funding amounts, and how district total program
funding is being used at the school level.
Administrative units. The bill specifies that districts or state-authorized charter schools that
contract with a multi-district administrative unit for special education services must update
their agreement to include the allocation of special education funding received through the
new formula, no later than July 1, 2025.
Mill levy overrides. Under current law, school districts can levy mill levy overrides (MLOs) that
generate up to 25 percent of their total program funding (30 percent for small rural districts).
The bill allows a district’s MLO limit to increase if the funding attributable to the district’s cost of
living, personnel costs, and size factors under the new formula in FY 2024-25 is less than the
funding attributable to those factors under the current formula in FY 2024-25. CDE must
calculate that difference as a percent of the district’s total program in FY 2024-25, and the
district’s MLO cap is allowed to increase by that same percentage.
The calculation of funding attributable to the size, personnel costs, and cost of living factors
under current law and the new formula are specified in the bill, and include the funding
attributable to those factors that is part of at-risk and ELL funding in the current formula.
Districts may ask voters to approve MLOs up to the new caps from July 1, 2024 through
July 1, 2030.
Mill levy override match working group. The bill creates the MLO match working group to
meet up to five times during the 2024 legislative interim and make recommendations on how to
modify the MLO match program to ensure more equitable funding distribution, and greater
access for eligible districts and state authorized charter schools, and which districts and charter
schools will receive a match amount in FY 2024-25. The working group includes both legislative
and non-legislative members and is staffed by Legislative Council Staff.
Permanent Fund Interest & Capital Construction
The bill restructures how the interest and income earned on the Permanent Fund is distributed
and utilized for public school funding and capital construction.
Permanent Fund interest and income. Under current law, the interest and income earned on
the Permanent Fund is used for the Public School Fund Investment Board expenses, distributed
to the State Public School Fund (up to $21 million), and the Public School Capital Construction
Assistance Fund (PSCCAF; up to $20.0 million). The bill reduces the distribution to the State
Public School Fund by $10.0 million in FY 2024-25, $16.0 million in FY 2025-26, and $21.0 million
beginning in FY 2026-27, thus eliminating this as an ongoing distribution. The bill Page 6
May 1, 2024 HB 24-1448
correspondingly increases the distribution to the restricted account of the PSCCAF by those
same amounts.
Charter school facilities. The bill specifies that $11.5 million in FY 2024-25 be credited from the
PSCCAF to the Charter School Facilities Assistance Account, increasing annually to $15.0 million
by FY 2028-29. It also requires that CDE apply for a state charter school facilities incentive grant
awarded by the U.S. Department of Education, if eligibility criteria are satisfied.
Certificates of participation. The bill increases the limit on certificates of participation for
public school capital construction projects from $125 million to $150 million, beginning in
FY 2024-25.
Reporting. Beginning in February 2026, the Public School Capital Construction Assistance Board
in CDE must include certain data related to charter school capital construction in their annual
report.
Background
Current school finance formula. A detailed overview of the current school finance formula is
available here.
Public school lands. The State Land Board in the Department of Natural Resources manages
the public school lands, the proceeds from which are distributed to the BEST public school
capital construction program, cover State Land Board administrative costs, and are deposited
into the Permanent Fund. The Permanent Fund is an inviolate fund that is invested, with the
interest and earnings distributed to the State Public School Fund and to Building Excellent
Schools Today (BEST) program.
Assumptions
The fiscal note assumes that the FY 2024-25 Long Bill, Senate Bill 24-188 (School Finance
Act) and House Bill 24-1393 (Accelerating Students through Concurrent Enrollment) will
become law. These bills are included the current law baseline in this fiscal note.
FY 2025-26. The projections in the fiscal note for FY 2025-26 utilize the Legislative Council Staff
March 2024 forecast for inflation (2.6 percent), and December 2023 forecast for student
enrollment counts and assessed values. Projected enrollment counts and assessed values are at
the district level, and contain typical forecast uncertainty.
Subsequent years. Beginning in FY 2026-27, the fiscal note utilizes high-level estimates, as
discussed below. These estimates have significantly more uncertainty, which increases with each
additional out year. Future-year estimates are best used to understand the interaction of the
phase-in with funding under the current formula and proposed formula changes.
Inflation. The fiscal note assumes the Legislative Council Staff March 2024 forecast for
inflation of 3.3 percent for FY 2026-27, and 2.3 percent for FY 2027-28. A forecast is not
available for subsequent years, so the fiscal note assumes a flat 2.3 percent inflation rate for
the remainder of the phase in period, through FY 2030-31. Page 7
May 1, 2024 HB 24-1448
Enrollment. District level enrollment estimates for FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28 assume a
percent change for each district, based on recent trends and excluding any large
fluctuations. The estimated percent change was applied to all district enrollment counts for
each of the out years projected. The fiscal note does not include any adjustments to student
counts based on a multiple count day method beginning in FY 2026-27.
Local share. District level local share estimates for FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28 were
developed using a weighted average of historical growth rates for assessed values for
different property classes over the last five reassessment and non-reassessment cycles.
State Diversions
The bill modifies the flow of Permanent Fund interest and income to the State Public School
Fund, PSCCAF, and the Charter School Facilities Assistance Account. These diversions of funds
are shown in Table 2.

State Expenditures
The bill increases state expenditures by $20.3 million in FY 2024-25 and $122.8 million in
FY 2025-26. Costs continue to increase for the state share of school finance and CDE staff costs
in subsequent years. Costs are paid from the State Education Fund, PSCCAF, and General Fund,
with the capital construction costs offset by the reduced diversions to the State Public School Page 8
May 1, 2024 HB 24-1448
Fund, discussed above. School finance costs beginning in FY 2025-26 may be paid from the
General Fund, State Education Fund, or State Public School Fund.

New School Finance Formula
FY 2025-26. In FY 2025-26, the first year of the phase in, the bill increases total program to
$10.0 billion, an increase of $94.8 million compared to current law. The state share increases by
$91.6 million and the local share increases by $3.2 million. Table 4 shows the changes in
FY 2025-26 under the bill, compared to current law. School districts impacts are further
discussed in the school district section below. Appendix A shows the change in school finance
funding for each school district as a result of the bill.

Compared to FY 2024-25. Compared to projected funding in FY 2024-25, total program under
the bill will be $280.0 million higher than the prior year. This represents the change in funding
as a result of the bill, as well as the inflationary, enrollment, and assessed value changes that will
occur under current law and under the bill and the changes to the formula in Senate Bill 24-188 Page 9
May 1, 2024 HB 24-1448
(School Finance Act) and House Bill 24-1393 (Accelerating Students through Concurrent
Enrollment) that apply in FY 2024-25.
Future years. The new formula will continue to be phased in though FY 2029-30, with each
district receiving the greater of the amount that it would receive under current law, plus an
increasing portion of the difference between current law funding and the new formula, or the
current law total program funding plus 0.5 percent. Beginning in FY 2030-31, districts will receive
funding solely determined on the new formula, which will be fully phased in and without a hold
harmless provision.
The bill is expected to increase statewide total program year over year by approximately
$174.3 million in FY 2026-27, $263.5 million in FY 2027-28, $360.8 million in FY 2028-29,
$458.8 million in FY 2029-30, and $571.3 million when fully phased in in FY 2030-31. Figure 5
below shows the trajectory of the phase in on a statewide basis. Individual district trajectories
will vary, depending on how district characteristics and student attributes interact with both the
current and new formulas. Should actual enrollment and inflation deviate from these estimates,
total program amounts will differ.

Permanent Fund Interest & Capital Construction
The changes to the distribution of Permanent Fund interest and income result in increased
expenditures for capital construction and for existing line items currently funded with interest
and income via the State Public School Fund.
Backfill for existing programs. By diverting Permanent Fund interest and income from the
State Public School Fund to other purposes, the bill requires funding to backfill the programs
that are currently funded out of the State Public School Fund. Those programs and the required
backfill amounts are shown in Table 5 below, and are based on the amounts in the Long Bill for
FY 2024-25. The fiscal note assumes that FY 2024-25 costs are paid out of the State Education
Fund, but ongoing costs could be paid out of the General Fund or State Education Fund.

BEST and charter school construction. The PSCCAF supports the BEST program and charter
school capital construction. By modifying the diversion of Permanent Fund interest and income,
the bill increases the amount available for capital construction by $10.0 million in FY 2024-25,
$16.0 million in FY 2025-26, and up to $21.0 million in subsequent years. Of those amounts, the
bill allocates $11.5 million in FY 2024-25 for charter school capital construction, increasing
annually until it reaches $15.0 million in FY 2028-29.
Exact amounts deposited in the PSCCAF and Charter School Facilities Account are listed in
Table 5 above. Charter school capital construction funds are allocated on a per pupil basis; the
other PSCCAF funds are allocated through the BEST program.
Administration
Colorado Department of Education. CDE requires 1.8 FTE beginning in FY 2024-25 in the
School Finance Unit. In FY 2024-25, staff will update systems and data protocols to include the
new formula, and support districts in the transition to the new formula. Beginning in FY 2025-26,
CDE staff will provide technical assistance and support to school districts during the transition
period to the new formula. Costs are shown in Table 6 below and assumed to be paid from the
General Fund.

Centrally appropriated costs. Pursuant to a Joint Budget Committee policy, certain costs
associated with this bill are addressed through the annual budget process and centrally
appropriated in the Long Bill or supplemental appropriations bills, rather than in this bill. These
costs, which include employee insurance and supplemental employee retirement payments, are
shown in Table 2.
Page 12
May 1, 2024 HB 24-1448
Other Budget Impacts
General Fund reserve. Under current law, an amount equal to 15 percent of General Fund
appropriations must be set aside in the General Fund statutory reserve. If the additional school
finance costs are paid from the General Fund, the bill will increase the amount of General Fund
held in reserve, decreasing the amount of General Fund available for other purposes.
School Districts
As discussed in the State Expenditures section above, the bill increases total program in
FY 2025-26 to $10.0 billion, an increase of $94.8 million compared to current law. It increases the
state share by $91.6 million, and the local share by $3.2 million in FY 2025-26.
Figure 8 below shows the projected change in total program for each district in FY 2025-26, the
first year of the phase in. Appendix A includes individual district changes to funded pupil count,
total program, and state and local shares, comparing FY 2025-26 funding under the new formula
to current law. Other comparisons and maps will be available on the Legislative Council Staff
school finance simulation tool, available here.

Page 13
May 1, 2024 HB 24-1448
Funded pupil count. By changing the averaging provision from five years to four years and
increasing the minimum funded pupil count to 60, the bill reduces the projected number of
funded pupils statewide by 4,348 in FY 2025-26, from 844,281 to 839,933. Individual district
funded pupil count changes range from a 593 student FTE reduction (Jefferson County) to a
10 student FTE increase (multiple districts). See Appendix A for district-level detail.
District funding. Under the bill, district total program increases range from 0.5 percent
(29 districts) to 5.2 percent (Kim). Statewide average per pupil funding in FY 2025-26 increases
from $11,749 to $11,923, an increase of $174.
District per pupil amounts decrease for five districts; these districts have increased total
program, but have greater percentage increases in their funded pupil count. District per pupil
amounts increase for 173 districts, with the largest per pupil increase in Edison, a district that is
held harmless but has a lower funded pupil count as a result of the bill.
Hold harmless. Districts whose total program under the new formula, after the phase in, is
below what they would receive under current law plus 0.5 percent will receive their current law
total program plus 0.5 percent. This hold harmless provision is expected to impact 24 districts in
FY 2025-26. Some districts may remain in the hold harmless throughout the phase in period,
while others may move out of the hold harmless during the phase in period if their new formula
total program exceeds their current law plus 0.5 percent hold harmless. The hold harmless
provision ends with the phase in FY 2030-31, when total program for all districts will be
calculated using the new formula.
Mill levy overrides. By aligning the mill levy override cap with the new formula and phase in,
the bill allows most districts to generate additional mill levy override revenue. Currently, there
are 13 districts with approved mill levies that float to their 25 or 30 percent cap in order to
collect the maximum allowable revenue.
The bill also allows a district’s MLO limit to increase if the funding attributable to a district’s cost
of living, personnel costs, and size factors under the new formula is less than the funding
attributable to those factors in FY 2024-25, using a formula specified in the bill. In most cases,
districts with an increased cap may ask their voters to approve additional MLOs through
July 1, 2030. The fiscal note assumes that if not approved, or districts choose not to ask voters,
the district cap returns to the current law level beginning in FY 2030-31. Appendix B includes a
preliminary estimate of the new MLO caps under the bill. Actual changes to district MLO caps
will be calculated by CDE after the midyear adjustment in FY 2024-25.
Capital construction. As discussed above, the bill makes additional money available for the
BEST program and charter school capital construction. The amount of funding an individual
district receives depends on its participation in the BEST program.

May 1, 2024 HB 24-1448
Technical Note
As discussed above, the bill requires General Fund or State Education Fund expenditures for line
items that are currently funded by interest and earnings in the State Public School Fund.
Current law requires that the printing of education laws and up to $3.8 million for at-risk
supplemental aid to be paid from the State Public School Fund. As a result, statutory changes
are required to switch the funding source for these line items, which would be necessary
beginning in FY 2025-26. The fiscal note assumes that these statutory changes will be made.
Effective Date
The bill takes effect upon signature of the Governor, or upon becoming law without his
signature.
State Appropriations
For FY 2024-25, the bill requires and includes the following appropriations to the Colorado
Department of Education:
an increase of $184,433 from the General Fund for staff costs, and 1.8 FTE;
an increase of $5,000,000 from the State Education Fund and a corresponding decrease from
the State Public School Fund for the state share of total program;
an increase of $5,000,000 from the State Education Fund and a corresponding decrease from
the State Public School Fund for at-risk per pupil additional funding;
an increase of $11,500,000 from the Charter School Facilities Assistance Account in the
Public School Capital Construction Assistance Fund.
The bill also requires and includes a General Fund appropriation of $32,875 to the Legislative
Department. Of that amount, $22,047 and 0.3 FTE is for use by Legislative Council Staff, $8,469
and 0.1 FTE is for use by the Office of Legislative Legal Services, and $2,359 is for use by the
