Where senior high school English teachers brought suit claiming that the action of the school district board of education in prohibiting the use of certain books as instructional material constituted an infringement of academic freedom, such claims must be denied where all the teachers of the district, through a bargaining agent, entered a collective bargaining agreement with the school board in which final authority for the choice of instructional material was yielded to the school board.

     The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:   The voters approved section 17 of article IX of the state constitution with the intent that the increased funding of public education be used for specific and accountable purposes to improve the state's public schools;    Elementary school teachers support reducing class size in early grades; and    Parents have indicated that reducing class size, especially in early grades, is one of their top priorities for public schools.       It is the general assembly's duty to ensure that the one-percent increase in statewide base per pupil funding required by section 17 of article IX of the state constitution be used in a manner intended by the voters.       As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires:   “Class” means a non-elective class in kindergarten or the first, second, or third grade or any combination of kindergarten or the first, second, or third grades in a public school, which class provides instruction in one or more of the areas of reading, writing, mathematics, science, history, or geography.

  Effective July 1, 2005, a school district board of education may adopt a resolution stating its intent to decline one or more of the federal funding sources of the “Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965”, as reauthorized and amended in the “No Child Left Behind Act of 2001”, 20 U.S.C. sec. 6301 et seq., and thereby be exempt from the requirements of said federal act that accompany the declined funding sources and are identified by said federal act as available for exemption. The resolution shall remain in place until rescinded by the school district board of education.    If a school district chooses to adopt a resolution to decline federal funding sources as provided in this section, the school district's action in declining federal funds and thereby being exempt from specified federal requirements shall not affect the school district's accreditation category, and the department of education and the state board of education shall not impose any form of sanction on the school district for its action in declining federal funds and in not complying with the federal requirements from which it is exempt.

  The general assembly recognizes that the safety issues which face schools have changed in the recent past. The general assembly finds the safety of school children should be a priority of the state. The general assembly further finds the use of illegal drugs by employees of school districts who hold safety-sensitive positions could endanger the lives and safety of school children. The general assembly therefore authorizes school districts to create school safety programs, which may include drug testing of all personnel who apply for, transfer to, or are promoted to safety-sensitive positions. The program may also include drug testing of personnel in safety-sensitive positions if there is probable cause to believe the person is using illegal drugs.    For each collective bargaining agreement entered into on or after April 16, 2001, with a union representing personnel in safety-sensitive positions, the collective bargaining agreement shall include drug testing policies for personnel who occupy safety-sensitive positions.    Implementation of this section shall be within existing appropriations.    For the purposes of this section, “safety-sensitive positions” means positions in which a single mistake can create imminent threat of serious harm to students or teachers.     History.

 A school district has the power to take by eminent domain so much real property as the board of education of the district may deem necessary for any school purpose authorized by law, but the power of eminent domain shall not be exercised to acquire any real property located outside the territorial limits of the school district. The procedure for the exercise of eminent domain as authorized by this section shall be as prescribed by article 1 of title 38, C.R.S., but without regard to the municipal corporation and purposes specified in said article.

Since § 22-32-111 is similar to repealed CSA, C. 146, § 74, and laws antecedent thereto, relevant cases construing those provisions have been included in the annotations to this section.   Condemnation of extraterritorial property prohibited. Although the authority to condemn extraterritorial property may be implied in an express grant of power, no such implication arises where the general assembly has specifically prohibited a school district from condemning extraterritorial property. Clear Creek Sch. Dist. RE-1 v. Holmes, 628 P.2d 154 (Colo. App. 1981).   Prohibition held constitutional. A school district may not invoke the constitutional provision concerning the power of eminent domain, § 14 of art. II, Colo. Const., to preclude the application of this section. Clear Creek Sch. Dist. RE-1 v. Holmes, 628 P.2d 154 (Colo. App. 1981).   Denial of right to open and close eminent domain proceedings held proper in circumstances. Kirkwood v. Sch. Dist.

CO Code § 22-32-112 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 22 - Education|Article 32 - School District Boards - Powers and Duties|§ 22-32-112. Oil and Gas Leases

  A board of education of a school district has the power to lease any real property or any interest therein owned by the district for oil and gas exploration, development, and production purposes, upon such terms and conditions as may be prescribed and contracted by the board in the exercise of its best judgment as the board deems to be for the best interests of the district. Any lease of oil and gas rights shall be for a term not to exceed ten years and as long thereafter as oil or gas is produced, and shall provide for a royalty of not less than twelve and one-half percent of all oil and gas produced, saved, and sold, or the gross production value thereof, which royalty may be reduced proportionately under appropriate provision in the lease if the interest in the school district is less than a full interest in the land or oil and gas rights in the land described in the lease. Whenever in the opinion of the board of education, and because of the size, shape, or current use of any tract of land owned by the district, the best interests of the district so require, any lease of such tract may provide that no drilling shall be conducted on the land covered thereby, in which case such lease shall be for a term not to exceed ten years and so long thereafter as the district may share in royalties payable on account of production of oil or gas from lands adjacent to such tract so leased.    Whenever deemed by the board of education of a school district to be in the best interests of the district, it may enter into a unit agreement providing for the pooling, unitization, or consolidation of acreage covered by any oil and gas lease executed by the district with other acreage for oil and gas exploration, development, and production purposes, and providing for the apportionment or allocation of royalties among the separate tracts of land included in the unit or pooling agreement on an acreage or other equitable basis, and may change, by such agreement, with the consent of the lessee under the lease, any or all of the provisions of any lease issued by the district, including the term of years for which the lease was originally granted, in order to conform such lease to the terms and provisions of the unit or pooling agreement and to facilitate the efficient and economic production of oil and gas from the lands subject to such agreement.    The leasing of school district real property or any interest therein under the provisions of this section shall not be deemed to be a sale of such school property.    All leases of oil and gas or rights therein and all unit agreements relating to or dealing with oil and gas and containing provisions similar to those set forth in this section affecting school district lands heretofore made or entered into by any school district are hereby confirmed, validated, and declared to be legal and valid in all respects.
