Bill Tracker | Upcoming Webinars | Past/Recorded Webinars

The 2012 Colorado Legislative session began on January 11, 2012. It's already shaping up to be a very active session around education, and, as always, the League will be very involved in advocating on behalf of charter schools.

This year, the League's legislative agenda centers around aligning policy with current practice and model law documents created by the League and national collaborative partners (www.bcsq.org). The League will also be focused on implementing the recommendations from the 1412 Committee on charter school and authorizer standards. The League hopes to streamline processes in order to create a higher level of objectivity around charter school applications, renewals and revocations, as well as incentivizing authorizers to improve their own practices.

For information about the current legislative session or policy that may affect charter schools, contact Jason Callegari, Public Affairs Associate at 303-989-5356, ext. 119.
