Colorado Schools Fund

School funding analyses, prepared for CSF

The individual school projections hosted here were prepared for the Colorado Schools Fund. Each school’s analysis is shared directly by CSF with that school’s leadership, so there is no public index of individual school pages.

SB26-023
The FY27 school finance act every analysis on this site is built on, alongside HB25-1320.
FY27–32
The phase-in window — 30% of the new formula in FY27, rising to 100% in FY32.

01 Shared tools

Open to any Colorado charter school — not tied to a single CSF engagement.

School leader guide

What’s My Funding? (School Check)

A three-part guide for school leaders: how Colorado’s FY27 formula works and what is still unsettled, a check of your own school’s funding and whether it sits on the hold-harmless floor, and concrete next steps if the payment you receive looks wrong. Counts are editable, so you can test your October numbers before the true-up.

Projection tool

New Charter School PPR Calculator

Build a multi-year revenue projection for a proposed charter school. Pick the authorizing district and the year it opens, enter an enrollment ramp, and see SB26-023 per-pupil revenue and total program through FY33 — one year past full implementation, so a school opening in FY29 still gets a five-year budget window. Demographics start from the district’s profile and stay editable.

02 Your school’s analysis

Individual school pages are unlisted. If you lead or work with a CSF school and need the link to your school’s analysis, reach out to CSF or to VAO Collaborative and we’ll get you access.
