SB 07-131 passed by the Colorado Senate was killed late today in the House Education Committee.  The bill would have required 4 years of math and 3 years of science as a graduation requirement for every student in the state of Colorado. 

Please contact the House Education Committee members shown to the right and thank them for their "no" vote on SB 07-131.

About ABE: 
     We are a Colorado non-profit organization concerned about the narrowing of the curriculum and the marginalization of arts and humanities as a result of high-stakes testing, snapshot accountability, and higher education requirements placing de facto mandates upon K-12 public education.

     Fifteen leaders from education, public service and business form the board of Advocates for a Balanced Education and share a desire to offer students-become-adults the balanced education which will provide them with the necessary skills  for economic self-sufficiency and participation in a self-governing society.

     For that purpose, our goal is to assist  educational policy makers at all levels of state and local government, as well as the citizenry of communities in supporting the inclusion of the arts and humanities as an essential part of Colorado’s K-12 public education system.
