COLORADO POLITICS — Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper allowed House Bill 1306 –which should allow foster children avoid being shuttled from one school to another — to become law without his signature on Friday. But he’s definitely not happy about it.

Under the bill that became law on Friday, a foster child who starts at one school stays at that school, even when the child is moved to a placement in a different school district.
That part of the bill worked just fine for the Hickenlooper administration. It’s what Senate Republicans did when the bill got to the Senate in the closing days of the 2018 session that’s caused problems and may even wind up in court –and apparently that’s what Hickenlooper expects.
