A Colorado constitutional amendment prohibits public schools and libraries from entering into multiple-year financial obligations, such as multi-year contracts, without pre-allocation of funds unless the local voters have previously approved such an obligation. [Colo. Article X, section 20(4)(b)] However, funding agreements, including multi-year contracts, that are subject to annual appropriations by a governing board, such as a school board, generally are allowed and are not subject to this constitutional provision since the governing board decides each year to make a particular expenditure.
Bids must be considered through 2026-10-20; the applicant may sign a contract on or after that date.
