By Conor McCue November 10, 2022 / 5:32 PM / CBS Colorado Brighton 27J school leaders are celebrating what they call a much-needed victory for the growing district.

Money from the property tax increase will go toward teacher salaries, school safety measures, and more. "There's lots of excitement and lots of hope to move our mission forward," said Brittany Atkerson, a 5th grade teacher at Padilla Elementary School in Brighton.
