Douglas County residents voted down two ballot measures that would have provided more school funding. But county officials said they will consider trying again
CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — Douglas County residents voted down two ballot measures that would have provided more funding for the district’s schools.
Bonds are loans the district takes out on the taxpayers' behalf that are paid off over time. Because the measure failed, voters in the district will see a decrease in their taxes. Nevertheless, the district went ahead and put the questions on the ballot after a citizen advisory committee made the recommendation.
The district is set to receive more money this year from the state with a strong economic performance and some of that money will go to increasing salaries to keep up with inflation. However, the other districts will receive similar funding and be able to offer similar pay increases, so Kane says the pay gap will remain.
“Everyone in this community wants to make sure that Douglas County continues to be an amazing school district. Everyone in this community supports our teachers and our amazing staff and Douglas County School District, and we just need to continue to work towards that,” she said. “We have the huge political firestorm this year that the other school districts do not have,” Leung said. “You don't want to come out knowing that you have a good chance to lose and then just try to throw a Hail Mary pass and hope for the best.”
