AP Decision Notes: What to expect in Colorado for the Nov. 4 election
October 27, 2025
Colorado’s new free school meals program will face a key test when voters decide two statewide ballot measures that would put the program on sounder financial footing, mostly by raising taxes on high-income individuals. The outcome of the measures on Nov. 4 will determine whether the “Healthy School Meals for All” program will continue to provide free breakfast and lunch for all Colorado public school students or be scaled back significantly. If both measures pass, the meals program would have access to an additional $65 million for the remainder of the academic year and about $119 million for the following year.
