Guess which photo below shows the Colorado school district labeled “distinction” by CDE! paulanoonan.substack.com/p/public-edu... "Public Education hasn’t moved forward in a decade! 2026 Colorado test scores tell a story that won’t end until we acknowledge the story won’t end"
Costly state standardized testing does NOT give "a definitive verdict on a school’s overall success or a child’s ability to finish a book, or ...capture how students statewide are performing in reading, math and other core subjects." coloradosun.com/2026/08/23/c...
Standardized test results make Colorado schools look bad. There’s more to the story.
Plenty of longtime educators and experts are skeptical about whether the tests are useful or even accurate

OUR CLOSING MESSAGE--the billionaires backing Michael Bennet and funding attacks against me have an agenda for him. As Attorney General, I have taken on irresponsible companies and the Trump Administration--and am winning. As Governor, my only agenda will be to fight for you.
Please read this from someone who was at DPS when #MichaelBennet was there. The devil is in the details and they're ugly. @a4pep.bsky.social @cocharterwatch.bsky.social @mcolorado.bsky.social
