I, [Legislator's Full Name], hereby commit to taking decisive action to ensure a complete buy down of the Budget Stabilization (BS Factor) to $0 in the 2024 legislative session. Recognizing the impact of these budget challenges on our students, educators, and the overall quality of public education, I pledge to work diligently to buy down the BS Factor and stabilize education funding in the short term.
Furthermore, I commit to being an integral part of a sustained effort for long-term fiscal reform to ensure substantive systemic funding changes that are necessary for fully funded schools to secure a brighter future for our state. This commitment includes advocating for policies that prioritize education in the state budget, exploring innovative funding mechanisms, and collaborating with stakeholders to develop a fiscally responsible and sustainable model for funding our schools.
By signing this commitment statement, I affirm my dedication to public education, the educational well-being of Colorado's students, educators, and the prosperity of our state. I understand the significance of this commitment and pledge to work collaboratively with my colleagues, constituents, and education stakeholders to ensure that our public schools receive the funding they are owed, need, and deserve.
Signed,
[Legislator's Full Name]
[Legislator's District]
