Early election returns indicate Denver Ballot Issue 4A, a mill levy override, is on track to pass and raise property taxes for Denver Public Schools. The measure would generate additional operating revenue for the district. Results are preliminary and subject to final certification.
Key Points
- Ballot Issue 4A proposes a property tax increase via mill levy override to fund DPS operations.
- Early returns show the measure leading with apparent voter support.
- The override targets additional funding for Denver Public Schools without altering existing choice or enrollment policies.
Implications for Educational Freedom
Passage would increase revenue directed to Denver Public Schools, including both district-run and charter schools within the system. Resource allocation decisions would remain under district governance. No provisions in the measure address parental rights, curriculum oversight, or expansion of education choice options.
