What changed
Colorado SB26-103 proposes creating a new at-risk public school program requiring school districts and charter schools to adopt policies directing additional resources and supports toward at-risk students. The bill authorizes implementation of community-school-based learning programs, wraparound services, after-school programs, and tutoring services. A secondary provision requires subdivision regulations adopted by boards of county commissioners to include land set aside for public schools of a school district.
If enacted, school districts and charter schools will face new compliance obligations to develop and implement at-risk student policies. Educational institutions should monitor this legislation and begin assessing current programs against the proposed requirements. County boards will need to incorporate school land set-asides into subdivision regulations.
What to do next
- Monitor SB26-103 as it progresses through the Colorado Senate
- Prepare to adopt or amend district policies for at-risk students if bill passes
- Review wraparound service and community school program requirements
