WHO WE ARE AND OUR BELIEFS
Save Colorado Summers is a statewide coalition of parents, teachers and community members disappointed with the ever-earlier start to the school year. Our mission is to educate consumers of the education system, taxpayers and other interested people about the negative impact the early-August school start date and nontraditional school calendars have on our students, teachers and families. It is our hope that we can work with parents, school districts and elected officials to help establish educationally and fiscally sound school calendars; a school calendar that allows more money to flow into teachers' salaries, classroom supplies and educational services ... without a heavier tax burden on Colorado families.Contact Your State Legislators

Dear <Insert Senator or Congressman>,
I am your constituent requesting your support for a later school start date. I am concerned about Colorado’s early school start date and the negative impact it has on our students, families, and economy. I support a school calendar that consistently starts in early September or very late August and minimizes the 1 and 2 day breaks throughout the school year.
