Lobato 8/2: A history lesson
What did the creators of Colorado’s 1876 constitution mean when they required the legislature to “provide for the establishment and maintenance of a thorough and uniform system of free public schools throughout the state”?
Tom Romero, an assistant law professor at the University of Denver, tried to answer than question Tuesday afternoon during testimony at the Lobato v. State school finance lawsuit.
The central claim by plaintiffs in the case is that the state’s current school finance system doesn’t meet the constitutional requirement for “thorough and uniform” and that the system should be declared unconstitutional
