Supreme Court to Decide on Public Funding for Religious Preschools in Colorado

• The Supreme Court will decide if religious preschools in Colorado can receive public funds while continuing to discriminate.
• Families in Colorado can choose from religious preschools in the state-funded preschool program, but these schools must agree not to discriminate.
• The Colorado Department of Early Childhood faced a backlog of over 900 questions from parents and preschool providers.
• The department has improved its response time, but preschool providers still call for more changes.
• Religious preschools must agree not to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity to participate in the state-funded program.
