Colorado “Support Public Education” License Plate Program
The Colorado “Support Public Education” license plate program gives Colorado drivers a visible way to show their support for public education and enhance educational opportunities for more than 350,000 public school students, simply by purchasing a Colorado “Support Public Education” license plate.
The plates can be purchased by visiting www.supportcoloradoschools.org. The plates cost $20, in addition to the $25 fee charged by the Department of Motor Vehicles. All money raised through the Colorado “Support Public Education” license plate program will be used by local public school districts to support programs that enhance student learning.
The Colorado “Support Public Education” license plate program is sponsored by the Colorado School Foundations Association (CSFA), a consortium of Colorado public school district foundations.
When a driver purchases a Colorado “Support Public Education” license plate, he or she can specify which foundation will receive the funds from that sale. The foundations will use all license plate proceeds to fund programs and purchase materials that are beyond the budgetary means of their school district.
When the Colorado Legislature approved the Colorado “Support Public Education” license plate program in 2006, Colorado joined more than a dozen other states that offer license plates promoting public education.
Rep. Nancy Todd, D-Aurora, sponsored the bill creating the program. “By providing a license plate that will promote our shared core value of support for public education, it is our hope that the citizens of Colorado will commit to making the education of our children a priority,” said Todd. “Our future rests on the quality of education our children receive today.”
