2011 Legislative Road Shows

Join Vinny Badolato, VP of Public Affairs at the Colorado League of Charter Schools for Legislative Road Shows the first week of December 2011 (click here to view the schedule). These road shows will inform Colorado charter school leaders, board members and other stakeholders about legislation being proposed at the State Capitol in 2012.

It's critical for each charter school to have at least one representative at the meeting in their area.

During the road shows, attendees will hear about:

New charter school and authorizer standards that are expected to be approved by the State Board of Education in early January. These standards were recommended by the 1412 Committee on Charter and Authorizer Standards and include adoption of the National Association of Charter School Authorizers Quality Principles and Standards as well as new rules which move policy to match industry standard regarding certain aspects of charter school operations.
Charter school legislation that the League plans to pursue, which would modernize the Colorado Charter Schools Act, in order to incorporate national and Colorado best practices to bring policy up to current practice, as well as develop innovative approaches to align charter school policy with recent statutory reforms.

These road shows are open to charter school leaders and administrators, board members, teachers, parents, students, and anyone else interested in Colorado charter school policy.

Space is limited at some locations so please be sure to register using the links below.

Refreshments will be provided.
