Past Priorities, Progress, & Wins

2022 27J Schools Mill Levy Override

In 2022, Rocky Mountain Partnership mobilized a youth and community-led coalition to support 27J Schools to pass its first mill levy override in over two decades, securing much needed funding for the third lowest funded school district in the state.

 

This coalition connected with over 900 community members at over 20 community events, and was featured on CBS Colorado and Univision. The passage of this mill levy override goes to show that community-driven advocacy works.

We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with Rocky Mountain Partnership and their incredible effort to raise awareness about our mill levy override ballot question, 5B, and their efforts to encourage young voters to vote! On behalf of our 22,000+ students and 2,000+ staff members, thank you! We couldn’t have done it without you!

Dr. Chris Fiedler, Superintendent of 27J Schools and RMP Co-Chair

This historic win could not have happened without the invaluable support RMP received from:

2020 Policy Work

In 2020, leadership from Adams County Government advocated to utilize the Rocky Mountain Partnership’s framework to provide a space where cross-sector stakeholders and the community at large could come together with entities responsible for emergency management to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic in the most collective way possible around seven key areas:

  • Child Care
  • Business Support and Retention
  • Aging Services
  • Uninsured & Healthcare Access
  • Housing Stability
  • Food Security & Basic Essentials
  • Support for the Unemployed & Future Workforce

As part of these efforts, partners advocated for several policies that would support community members throughout the crisis.
