Sign up for Chalkbeat Philadelphia’s free newsletter to keep up with news on the city’s public school system.Parents and students have complained for years that Philadelphia’s selective school enrollment process is notoriously difficult to navigate and favors those with time, energy, and a familiarity with spreadsheets. The current setup allows families of students in prekindergarten through 11th grade to choose a school outside their designated neighborhood school. The district uses a mixture of a ranking system, matching algorithm, lottery, and ZIP code preference in an effort to assign students to the school that best fits their needs.But that’s just for district schools. Most charter schools in the city enroll through a separate application, Apply Philly Charter, with different deadlines than the district’s process and a separate lottery system altogether. About a dozen charter schools don’t participate in either system and instead run their own application process.So is there an alternative to a system that skeptics fear is making students miss out on opportunities? Some advocates say a universal enrollment system with a single application for Philly’s traditional district, magnet, and charter schools could be a step in the right direction and contribute to a school ecosystem that is less opaque, more attractive to families, and more equitable.After years of listening to parents’ and students’ pleas for a simpler application process, Stacy Holland of the Philly-based advocacy group Elevate 215 she’s come around to the idea that universal enrollment is worth exploring for charters and the district. Elevate 215 manages the platform for Apply Philly Charter.“We have too much data and too many requests from parents stating this is too confusing,” said Holland, the group’s executive director. “At some point, we need to just respond to that as a city.”Holland said she’s talked with Philadelphia district officials about switching to a universal enrollment system and she’s “optimistic” her calls might be gaining traction. But Monique Braxton, a district spokesperson, told Chalkbeat on Wednesday the district is not “actively exploring universal enrollment at this time.” Supporters point to Denver as a model for what a unified system can look like. Those who helped shape and run Denver’s system say it can remove complexity that ultimately privileges some students over others, and is well-regarded by families of all backgrounds for how easy it is to use. But Philly has considered — and rejected — a similar idea before. And experts who’ve studied universal enrollment systems across the country say they’re not a cure-all, even when they work well. Maintaining those systems can also be difficult, as cities like Indianapolis and Newark have demonstrated in recent years.Tensions between school districts, charter schools can fracture universal enrollmentThe details of unified enrollment systems can vary. But generally, they allow families to apply to multiple schools with a single application and then use an algorithm or formula to assign students to the schools those students have ranked highest. Universal or unified enrollment systems have been in place in many districts since the early 2010s. Research has shown that unified enrollment systems present information more clearly, they’re more accessible, and some studies have shown they can help integrate schools over time, although those effects are small. Such systems are designed to be good at solving certain problems such as matching students with schools they want to attend and giving schools a better idea of which students will actually enroll when the school year begins, said Jon Valant, director of the Brown Center on Education Policy at the Brookings Institution who has studied universal enrollment. “It can make life easier for both parents or families and for schools too,” Valant said.But they’re not designed to deal with other logistical issues, like facilitating transportation. They also don’t solve what Valant said is the biggest challenge for districts and families: scarcity. A centralized system can change the distribution of who gets seats at coveted, high-performing schools, Valant said, but it can’t add seats or guarantee families will get their top choice. More broadly, districts that use a universal system must work to ensure “that a community trusts this thing and it understands what it’s there for and how to work with it,” he said.In the 2014-15 school year, the Newark school district adopted a universal enrollment system. A 2018 report found the system was “remarkably successful at improving special education students’ access to high-demand schools,” and that charters started enrolling more of those students.Jesse Margolis, a coauthor of that 2018 report from MarGrady Research, said he observed the same for district magnet schools. He said from an equity perspective, the unified enrollment system “seems to have been helpful.” Brian Eschbacher, who helped run the universal enrollment system in the Denver school district and now heads an education consulting firm, said the system’s added language support has helped more families who speak languages other than English participate in the process. Margolis identified other benefits in Newark. Student rosters at district schools became more stable and reliable, and students were less likely to switch schools during the year, he said.But recent history shows tensions between charters and traditional public schools have fractured these systems.When Philadelphia officials and advocates discussed whether to adopt a similar system in 2014, one debate was whether all charters in the city would have to participate.A fundamental concern for districts can be whether unified enrollment systems disproportionately benefit charters by raising their profile for prospective students. There are also questions about who manages these systems, collects data from them, and enforces their rules. A few years after Margolis’ report highlighted positive results in Newark, Superintendent Roger León started instituting tighter restrictions for families applying to charters through the Newark Enrolls unified system. By 2022, seven of Newark’s largest charter school networks pulled out of Newark Enrolls and started their own system: the Newark Common App.District officials did not respond to Chalkbeat’s requests for an interview about Newark Enrolls. Meanwhile, Indianapolis Public Schools is dropping Enroll Indy due to what it called cost concerns and other issues. But critics, including some charter representatives, say the move will create “confusion and instability” and runs afoul of state law. What’s been key to Denver’s system, Eschbacher said, is its mandate that charter schools participate. Because it’s so well-liked and all of the other schools are participating, he said, “it’s got this positive halo effect” where everyone wants to be involved.Contrary to worries that charter schools benefit most, Eschbacher said in cities where enrollment is declining like Philadelphia, a universal enrollment system “gives you a fighting shot” at keeping more families in district schools. “You should be trying to roll out the red carpet to keep as many of those families as possible by making their experience better,” he said.Carly Sitrin is the bureau chief for Chalkbeat Philadelphia.

(The Center Square) - Medicaid expenses are expected to be $443 million over the budget in Colorado in 2026-27. That's almost three times the previous fiscal year's budget gap. For 2025-2026, the Medicaid program was over the budget by $157.9 million, which amounted to 2.7% of the state Department of Health Care Policy and Financing's appropriations. The numbers mean Colorado's Medicaid spending is growing much faster than the state can afford, said Mark Ferrandino, director of the Governor's Office of State Planning and Budgeting. That spending dilemma is in addition to Colorado recently being accused of owing the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid $8 million for faulty and inaccurate payments. Ferrandino recently discussed the budget gaps with legislators. He noted Medicaid services are costing much more than previously expected. For the 2026-2027 fiscal year, Colorado lawmakers appropriated $5.775 billion, according to the Sept. 17 Medicaid Budget report. The forecast adjustment increased by $443 million, resulting in a new total of more than $6.218 billion for the adjusted budget. While states across the country are experiencing problems with Medicaid funding, lawmakers such as state Rep. Kyle Brown, D-North Denver, claimed Colorado's budget is a unique dilemma. Brown said Colorado's allocated Medicaid funding has grown at a larger and quicker pace than any other portion of the state’s budget. This is in large part due to more people utilizing the service and a substantial increase in insurance providers’ rates – including the cost of prescription drugs and behavioral health care. Colorado has also witnessed a massive increase in those receiving Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Cara Welch, the Colorado Hospital Association’s communications director, sent The Center Square its quarterly financial update, which included a graph showing that the number of individuals covered by Medicare and Medicaid has grown by nearly 44% since 2024. However, due to budget cuts to Medicare and Medicaid as part of the Republican-dominated Congress’s passage of the Big Beautiful Bill Act in 2025, federal dollars only pay about 70 cents to every dollar charged by hospitals. The legislation reflects President Donald Trump's priorities for domestic policies. According to a new report by the Colorado Hospital Association, the federal law will lower the amount of funds accessible through Medicare provider fees from 6% net patient revenue to 3.5% through 2032. The association said that will cause the state to risk losing more than $11 billion in federal money. “Medicaid costs are rising nationally, even as enrollment remains flat or declines," said Marc Williams, the public information officer for the Colorado Department of Health Care and Policy Financing. “HCPF is seeing similar trends reported by other state Medicaid agencies and national organizations, with cost growth driven by health care utilization, long-term care, pharmacy, behavioral health, and provider and managed care rate increases," Williams told The Center Square. The Colorado Hospital Association noted the same issues in relation to limited funding for certain services and high utilization. Costs per person have increased more significantly than the uptick in the number of Coloradans enrolled, according to Welch, the association's spokesperson. On that matter, Williams referenced the KFF’s 2025 survey of state Medicaid officials. Williams said the survey by KFF, a nonprofit that studies health care, "found similar cost pressures, while Health Affairs [a news website] reported that Medicaid spending per enrollee increased 16.6% in 2024, compared with 6.5% in 2023.” Ally Sullivan, Gov. Jared Polis’s deputy press secretary, said the Democratic governor shared similar concerns with the Department of Health Care and Policy Financing. “The primary drivers of the FY 2025-26 over-expenditure are greater-than-expected costs in acute care; prescription drugs costs that were impacted by federal policies that resulted in fewer rebates from drug manufacturers; behavioral health and community-based long-term care," Sullivan told The Center Square. During the health care department’s last meeting in July, officials discussed numbers in a presentation regarding a monumental Colorado bill called “Cover All Coloradans.” One of the slides expressly states, as part of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, it will “[d]isenroll certain members such as refugees and asylees.” The Big Beautiful Bill Act does not mention refugees and asylees as being covered by general Medicaid dollars. However, prior sections of the bill, such as section 1903(v)(4), say coverage of some individuals in those categories would be preserved by the new law – meaning refugees and asylees would be eligible for qualifying emergency services. The federal bill also placed stricter restrictions on not just residency, but nationality status, for those eligible to receive federal Medicaid dollars. The recent $8 million repayment bill Colorado received from the federal government was not explicitly related to Medicaid funding for noncitizens. Colorado was under federal investigation in 2025 as part of crackdown to track down federal dollars being spent on noncitizens for healthcare. The state was warned by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid that if Colorado did not hand over documents relating to patients’ personal information – which allegedly included some noncitizens – the Trump administration would withhold nearly $18 million in federal funding. That's a different matter than the $8 million overpayment. "In the face of federal cutbacks, ensuring eligible Coloradans have access to Medicaid is a top priority,” Sullivan told The Center Square. “The governor supports data-driven strategies to put Medicaid on a more sustainable path to ensure that Coloradans who are eligible can continue to receive healthcare coverage. The state and the Legislature have been working for over two years to create a sustainable funding model that slows the growth of Medicaid.” Colorado has failed to stay within budget for the last two years for health care spending. It is now entering its third year with significant budget deficits.
