     A plan of organization in which one or more new school districts are formed within the boundaries of an existing school district may provide that any two or more school districts included in the plan shall comprise a joint taxation district. The boundaries of the original school district shall be the boundaries of the joint taxation district. A joint taxation district formed pursuant to this part 2 shall be a body corporate and a political subdivision of the state.    A joint taxation district may be formed to incur bonded indebtedness for the purposes listed in section 22-42-102 (2)(a) and raise and expend property taxes to retire such bonded indebtedness or to raise and expend additional local property tax revenues in excess of the participating school districts' total program, pursuant to section 22-54-108 or .5.         A plan of organization that involves a joint taxation district may provide that two or more school districts that result from the reorganization of a single school district may share the valuation for assessment of the taxable property in each school district for the purposes stated in the plan of organization, as limited under paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of this section.    For the purpose of determining the limit of bonded indebtedness pursuant to section 22-42-104 for any school district that is participating in a joint taxation district, a portion of the bonded indebtedness of the joint taxation district, determined pursuant to the apportionment formula in the plan of organization, shall be added to the bonded indebtedness of the school district. The total bonded indebtedness of the joint taxation district, as apportioned among and added to the bonded indebtedness of the participating school districts, shall not cause any of the participating school districts to exceed its limit of bonded indebtedness pursuant to section 22-42-104.    The plan of organization:   May place a limit on the bonding capacity of the joint taxation district in addition to any other limitation on bonded indebtedness;    Shall specify whether the joint taxation district shall continue indefinitely or for a specified period of time;    Shall include a formula for the equitable apportionment of tax revenues from any property tax levied by the joint taxation district;    Shall include a formula for apportioning the bonded indebtedness of the joint taxation district for the purposes of section 22-42-104 among the participating school districts;    Shall provide that the joint taxation district becomes a body corporate at the time the reorganization becomes effective or at some other time as specified in the plan of organization.

     Any plan of organization that establishes a joint taxation district shall provide for the creation of a joint taxation district board and shall specify the membership of the board and the method of election or appointment and terms of office for members of the board. A joint taxation district board shall consist of not fewer than five members, with each participating school district board of education entitled to at least one member on the joint taxation district board.

Colo. 1994 ), aff'd, 85 F.3d 481 (10th Cir. 1996).

  During the first year that a teacher employed by a school district is employed by a charter school, such teacher shall be considered to be on a one-year leave of absence from the school district. Such leave of absence shall commence on the first day of services for the charter school. Upon the request of the teacher, the one-year leave of absence shall be renewed for up to two additional one-year periods upon the mutual agreement of the teacher and the school district.

The local board of education shall determine by policy or by negotiated agreement, if one exists, the employment status of school district employees employed by the charter school who seek to return to employment with public schools in the school district.    Employees of a charter school shall be members of the public employees' retirement association. The charter school and the teacher shall contribute the appropriate respective amounts as required by the funds of the association.     History.
