Declining K-12 Enrollment is a Wake-Up Call
In a recent guest column in the Denver Gazette, ACE Scholarships CEO Norton Rainey frames Colorado’s ongoing drop in K-12 public school enrollment as a signal to rethink educational models rather than sound a crisis alarm. Noting that about 10,000 fewer students attended public schools statewide last year, Rainey argues that demographic shifts and evolving family preferences are driving the trend and that expanding educational choice — including support linked to the state’s new Education Freedom Tax Credit — can help meet diverse student needs without weakening public education.
