 The general assembly finds and declares that, while parents are the primary and most important moral educators of their children, such efforts should be reinforced in the school and community environments. The general assembly further finds that research indicating that core character qualities such as family support, community involvement, positive peer influence, motivation to achieve, respect for person and property, common courtesy, conflict resolution, integrity, honesty, fairness, a sense of civil and personal responsibility, purpose, and self-respect help give youth the basic interpersonal skills and attributes that are critical building blocks for successful relationships. The general assembly recognizes each school district's authority to exercise control over the specific instruction of students, yet also recognizes and hereby asserts a significant statewide interest in providing direction to school districts with regard to the character education of Colorado's youth. Therefore, the general assembly hereby encourages school districts to develop and strengthen character education instruction to students. By enacting this article, the general assembly acknowledges the importance of character development and encourages school districts, parents, and communities to work together to prepare youth for positive relationships in today's society.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 22 - Education|Article 30.7 - Online Education Programs|§ 22-30.7-101. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:   Online education represents a twenty-first century approach to teaching and learning that is appropriate for today's students;    Technological advances, particularly in the development and dissemination of resources through the internet, can provide alternatives for the provision of educational services that can be customized to serve the diverse needs of today's student population;    Technology and online education, including both full-time and supplemental programs, are important tools to enhance educational opportunities and improve educational outcomes;    The growth of online education is challenging existing educational policy, administration, and oversight;    Online programs and online schools must be accountable to students and parents and to the institutions that accredit online programs and online schools;    The state has a role in ensuring quality oversight of online programs and online schools, but the state should not replace a school district or an authorizing entity in directly administering online programs and online schools;    Local control of schools is a fundamental Colorado value;    It is the role of families and students to choose their schools and models of education; and    A student's access to educational opportunities should not be limited by where the student lives or by the financial, social, or other resources that are available or unavailable to the student.       The general assembly further finds that:   In response to a report of the state auditor released December 11, 2006, concerning a performance audit of online education in Colorado, the Donell-Kay foundation created the Trujillo commission consisting of a small group of online education stakeholders and professionals;    The Trujillo commission held public meetings and solicited input from online education professionals and participants throughout the state concerning recommendations for the oversight and operation of online education in Colorado, and, based on the information and ideas collected, produced a final report released February 15, 2007.       The general assembly finds, therefore, that the state should:   Avail itself of enhanced technological services, which are available as a result of technological advances, to serve the educational needs of the citizens of the state more appropriately; and    Take immediate action to ensure quality and accountability in the online educational programs offered within the state.
