The Education Committee is a standing committee of the Colorado State Senate.

Per Senate Rule 21 standing committees for the Colorado State Senate are appointed by resolution at the first general session after a general election.[1] The State Senate Majority Leader appoints majority members to the committees, while the State Senate Minority Leader appoints minority members.[2] All appointees serve at the pleasure of the appointing authority.[3] Party representation is set proportionally to reflect the party representation of the two majority parties in the Senate.[4]
