CO Code § 22-27.5-101 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 22 - Education|Article 27.5 - Before- and After-School Dropout Prevention Programs|§ 22-27.5-101. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds that:   The unacceptably high dropout rate in public schools in Colorado is detrimental to the economic and cultural health of the state, and the state should take additional measures to more fully and productively engage students in public education and thereby reduce this rate;    Often, students who choose to drop out of school prior to graduation are bored with the standard classroom curriculum. Students who are involved with extracurricular school activities before or after school are more likely to be invested in their education and less likely to drop out of school.    With the increased difficulties in funding public education and increased emphasis on core academic subjects, schools have been forced to focus their resources on teaching the core curriculum subjects of reading, writing, and mathematics and have been less able to fund visual arts or performing arts education or to provide career and technical education;    Just as all students can learn, all students are talented to varying degrees in varying arts and endeavors. In addition to ensuring a student has the necessary skills in reading, writing, and mathematics to be successful in a career, educating a student should include providing the student the opportunity to experience and participate in a wide range of artistic and vocational activities to allow the student to discover his or her talents and be successful in life.    A grant program to provide additional funding for schools to sponsor before- and after-school programs in visual arts and performing arts and in career and technical education subjects will have the combined benefits of providing a wider range of visual arts, performing arts, and career and technical education, exposing students to a wide range of opportunities in visual arts and performing arts, assisting students in obtaining skills in a wide variety of vocations, enabling students to discover their artistic and vocation-related talents, and providing greater incentives for some students to stay in school.

  The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that there are substantial numbers of children in this state entering kindergarten and the primary grades who are not adequately prepared to learn. The general assembly further finds that early school failure may ultimately contribute to such children dropping out of school at an early age, failing to achieve their full potential, becoming dependent upon public assistance, or becoming involved in criminal activities. By enacting this article, the general assembly acknowledges the need to adequately prepare all children to learn through preschool programs in school districts with high dropout rates or low performance of children in kindergarten and primary grades. In establishing the programs, the general assembly encourages school districts and parents to work together to ensure that the children benefit from the programs.    The general assembly intends to fully fund the Colorado preschool program by increasing the number of children who may be served through the program over the 2006-07, 2007-08, and 2008-09 budget years.
