School districts in Colorado are local government entities responsible for managing public education within specific geographic areas. Each district operates its own schools, including elementary, middle, and high schools, and is governed by a board of education. Funding for these districts primarily comes from state and local taxes, as well as federal grants. There are over 170 school districts in Colorado, varying in size and demographics. Some of the largest districts include Denver Public Schools and Jefferson County Schools. Each district develops its own curriculum and policies, tailored to meet the needs of its students and community.
