WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10
PROGRAM #10339 12:00 PM PT

School Funding and College Aid. A proposed state budget in Colorado boosts funding for K-12 schools and higher education, capping tuition hikes at state universities. In more news, as college enrollment begins, many students are still wondering whether they’ll have the needed financial aid to pay for college, after delays and confusion have plagued the revamped financial aid application known as FAFSA. Finally, the Denver City Council passed a new law banning sugary drinks like soda and juice from restaurants’ kids meal menus. Public schools advocates discuss these and other topics.

Guests: Diana Madriz, Assistant Director of College Access, Denver Scholarship Foundation, Denver, CO; Dr. Henry Roman, Teacher and Former President, Denver Classroom Teachers Association-DCTA, Denver, CO; Flor Alvidrez, Councilwoman, City of Denver District 7, Denver, CO.
