2021 Colorado Code|Title 23 - Postsecondary Education|Article 3.9 - Educator Recruitment and Retention Programs|Part 1 - Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program|§ 23-3.9-100.2. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly finds that:   Colorado suffers from a shortage of teachers and other educators due to various factors affecting the teaching profession, which include but are not limited to declining enrollment and completion of educator preparation programs, low educator compensation and benefits, an insufficient number of educators in certain content areas, and difficulty in filling educator positions in rural or isolated areas of the state;    Pursuant to House Bill 17-1003, enacted in 2017, the department of higher education and the department of education, with input from education and community stakeholders, analyzed teacher and other educator shortages and issued a report including recommendations for addressing these shortages;    As part of their findings, the department of higher education and the department of education determined that the state has educator shortages in early childhood education; science; mathematics; world languages; special education; and art, music, and drama;    Further, shortages in these content areas are more pronounced in rural and remote rural areas where school districts and rural schools face additional challenges, including inadequate teacher compensation, lack of affordable housing, and an inability to attract new teachers to rural communities; and    The department of higher education and the department of education found that one strategy for addressing teacher and other educator shortages in hard-to-fill positions due to teaching content area or geographic location is to offer loan repayment of educational loans for educators who serve in these hard-to-fill positions in the state.       Therefore, the general assembly declares that implementing a loan forgiveness program for educators employed in qualified positions in the state is necessary to ensure that the needs of students are met in all Colorado public schools.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 23 - Postsecondary Education|Article 7.4 - Military Members, Veterans, and Dependents|Part 1 - General Provisions|§ 23-7.4-102. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly finds that:   Active duty members and veterans of the United States armed forces and Colorado National Guard provide an essential service to the nation and to the state of Colorado;    The families of service members often sacrifice personal goals due to frequent moves and deployments that disrupt or delay work and education, including higher education;    Veterans who return to civilian life and their dependents have opportunities to further their education in Colorado through the state system of community and technical colleges, local district colleges, and four-year institutions of higher education; and    Many active duty and veteran military members and their dependents have difficulty navigating the various state and federal laws relating to military benefits, including in-state tuition classification and state financial assistance programs.       Therefore, the general assembly declares that locating provisions of the state's higher education statutes, where possible, into a single article of this title 23 relating to military members, veterans, and military dependents minimizes confusion and provides greater transparency concerning military benefits available in higher education.
