Mission

READY COLORADO IS AN ORGANIZATION OF CONSERVATIVES WORKING TOGETHER TO IMPROVE EDUCATION IN COLORADO. THE TOUCHSTONE OF OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM SHOULD BE CHOICE; NO ONE SYSTEM OF SCHOOLING SHOULD HAVE A MONOPOLY OVER OPPORTUNITY. PARENTS SHOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO SEND THEIR KIDS TO THE SCHOOL THAT WILL HELP THEIR CHILDREN THRIVE, REGARDLESS OF TYPE-PUBLIC, PRIVATE, CHARTER, TRADITIONAL, MAGNET, VIRTUAL, OR HOME SCHOOL. READY COLORADO BELIEVES THAT THE EDUCATION SYSTEM NEEDS TO FOCUS MORE ATTENTION ON THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS AND FAMILIES; AND LESS ON THE NEEDS OF THE SYSTEM ITSELF. SCHOOLS, DISTRICTS, AND THE STATE SHOULD BE MORE ACCOUNTABLE TO PARENTS AND TAXPAYERS.
