2021 Colorado Code|Title 22 - Education|Article 81.5 - Colorado Information Technology Education Grant Program|§ 22-81.5-102. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that:   The use of information technology and digital electronics has achieved such a high level of pervasiveness in society that any person who is unfamiliar with or lacks knowledge in the use of technological or digital equipment or systems is at a distinct disadvantage both economically and in terms of available career opportunities;    There is a growing likelihood of the creation of a “digital divide”, separating children whose socioeconomic situation limits their access to technological or digital equipment or systems from those children who use such equipment or systems on a regular basis;    Creation of a digital divide may result in further suppressing the ability of children who are economically disadvantaged to improve their status and position in society, compounding and perpetuating the existing cycle of poverty experienced by some persons;    Greater integration of information technology education into the public school curriculum will help combat the growing digital divide and provide technological and digital access for students who do not have access to such technology in their homes;    Greater integration of information technology education into the public school curriculum will work to the benefit of all students, regardless of whether they anticipate going on to postsecondary studies after graduation or immediately embarking on a career;    The field of high technology design, creation, maintenance, and application is one of the fastest growing industries in the United States;    Colorado, due to the high concentration of information technology industry in the state, has experienced and continues to experience a shortage of well-educated, well-prepared persons in the information technology field;    It is therefore appropriate and in the best interests of the students and businesses in Colorado to provide financial incentives to assist public schools in achieving a greater integration of information technology education in the ninth-grade through twelfth-grade curriculum.       It is the intent of the general assembly that, for purposes of this article, any school that provides educational services to students who are placed in an eligible facility or state-operated program and receives a portion of the state average per pupil revenues shall be considered eligible under this article.

  There is hereby created the Colorado information technology education grant program to provide moneys to school districts, charter schools, and facility schools to use in integrating information technology education into the public school curriculum for grades nine through twelve. The department shall administer the grant program through the acceptance, review, and recommendation of applications submitted pursuant to section 22-81.5-105. The state board shall select the grant recipients based on the department's recommendations.    Grants awarded through the grant program shall continue for two fiscal years and may be renewed as provided by rule of the state board. Grants awarded through the grant program shall be paid out of any moneys appropriated or credited to the information technology education fund created in section 22-81.5-107. A school district, charter school, or facility school shall use any moneys obtained through the grant program to integrate information technology education into the ninth-grade through twelfth-grade curriculum. In the case of a school district, such integration shall be accomplished in one or more public schools in the district. It is the intent of the general assembly to allow flexibility to school districts, charter schools, and facility schools in determining how to integrate information technology into the curriculum and the degree of integration. The school district, charter school, or facility school may contract with one or more private entities for assistance in integrating information technology education into the curriculum. In addition, school districts, charter schools, and facility schools are encouraged to partner with businesses for assistance in integrating information technology education into the curriculum.    The state board shall adopt rules for the administration and implementation of the grant program as provided in this article. The first grants shall be awarded through the grant program for the 2002-03 academic year, so long as moneys are appropriated to the information technology education fund for implementation of the grant program. Grants shall be awarded annually thereafter, based on available appropriations.     History. Source: L. 2001: Entire article added, p. 836, § 1, effective June 1.
