The general assembly further finds and declares that this part 4 is the product of legislative examination and modification of a comprehensive legislative proposal that resulted from meetings of representatives of local boards of education, school district administrators, charter schools, the business community, and any other interested persons and represents a comprehensive legislative proposal for funding the capital construction needs of charter schools that is equitable, withstands constitutional challenge, and promotes cooperation between charter schools and their authorizing school districts.

  Notwithstanding the provisions of section 22-30.5-511, the provisions of this section shall apply if:   The institute board determines that the charter of a qualified charter school, as defined in section 22-30.5-408 (1)(c), will be revoked or will not be renewed; and    The qualified charter school has financed capital construction with revenues from bonds issued on behalf of the qualified charter school by the Colorado educational and cultural facilities authority created in section 23-15-104 (1)(a), C.R.S., pursuant to section 22-30.5-407.

Upon receipt of such notice, the commissioner shall suspend the revocation or nonrenewal of the charter until such time as the state treasurer, the commissioner, and the Colorado educational and cultural facilities authority determine, with the institute board and the qualified charter school, whether an alternative exists to such revocation or nonrenewal of the charter.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 22 - Education|Article 30.5 - Charter Schools|Part 5 - Institute Charter Schools|§ 22-30.5-513.1. Mill Levy Equalization - Fund Created - Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly finds that school districts receive significant operating revenue from mill levies that are in addition to the school districts' total program mill levy. This additional revenue helps school districts offset the effects of the budget adjustment imposed by section 22-54-104 (5)(g). The general assembly further finds that institute charter schools do not have access to additional revenue from a local property tax mill levy. The general assembly finds, therefore, that it is appropriate to consider additional state equalization funding for institute charter schools.      The mill levy equalization fund, referred to in this section as the “fund”, is hereby created in the state treasury. The fund consists of any amount that the general assembly may appropriate or transfer to the fund. The state treasurer shall credit to the fund all interest and income derived from the deposit and investment of money in the fund.    Subject to annual appropriation by the general assembly, the institute shall annually distribute the money appropriated or transferred to the fund to the institute charter schools on an equal per-pupil basis; except that, in any budget year, an institute charter school shall not receive a per pupil amount that is greater than the total amount of additional mill levy revenue, as defined in section 22-32-108.5, that the accounting district for the institute charter school is authorized to collect, divided by the funded pupil count, as defined in section 22-54-103, of the accounting district for the applicable budget year. The money distributed pursuant to this section is in addition to money distributed to institute charter schools pursuant to section 22-30.5-513.         History.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 22 - Education|Article 30.5 - Charter Schools|Part 5 - Institute Charter Schools|§ 22-30.5-514. Institute Charter School - Capital Reserve, Risk Management, and Instructional Purposes

  For the 2004-05 budget year through the 2008-09 budget year, each institute charter school shall annually allocate the minimum per pupil dollar amount specified in section 22-54-105 (2)(b), multiplied by the number of students enrolled in the institute charter school who are not students enrolled in an online program or online school, as defined in sections 22-30.7-102 (9) and 22-30.7-102 (9.5), to a fund created by the institute charter school for capital reserve purposes, as set forth in section 22-45-103 (1)(c) and (1)(e), or solely for the management of risk-related activities, as identified in section 24-10-115, C.R.S., and article 13 of title 29, C.R.S., or among such allowable funds. Said moneys shall be used for the purposes set forth in section 22-45-103 (1)(c) and (1)(e) and may not be expended by the institute charter school for any other purpose. Any moneys remaining in the fund that have not been expended prior to the 2009-10 budget year shall be budgeted for the purposes set forth in section 22-45-103 (1)(c) and (1)(e) in the 2009-10 budget year or any budget year thereafter.    For the 2004-05 budget year through the 2008-09 budget year, each institute charter school shall annually allocate the minimum per pupil dollar amount specified in section 22-54-105 (1)(b), multiplied by the number of students enrolled in the institute charter school who are not students enrolled in an online program or online school, as defined in sections 22-30.7-102 (9) and 22-30.7-102 (9.5), to accounts created by the institute charter school for instructional supplies and materials, instructional capital outlays, or other instructional purposes, as set forth in section 22-45-103 (1)(a)(II), or among such accounts. Moneys may be transferred among the three accounts. The moneys in the accounts shall be used for the purposes set forth in section 22-45-103 (1)(a)(II) and may not be expended by the institute charter school for any other purpose. Any moneys in the accounts that are not projected to be expended during a budget year shall be budgeted for the purposes set forth in section 22-45-103 (1)(a)(II) in the next budget year. Nothing in this subsection (2) shall be construed to require that interest on moneys in the accounts be specifically allocated to the accounts. Any moneys remaining in the accounts that have not been expended prior to the 2009-10 budget year shall be budgeted for the purposes set forth in section 22-45-103 (1)(a)(II) in the 2009-10 budget year or any budget year thereafter.

     For the 2004-05 budget year and each budget year thereafter, a qualified charter school, as that term is defined in section 22-54-124, that is an institute charter school shall receive state education fund moneys from the department in an amount equal to the percentage of the total qualified charter school pupil enrollment that is attributable to pupils expected to be enrolled in the institute charter school multiplied by the total amount of state education fund moneys distributed for the same budget year pursuant to section (3).    As used in this subsection (1), “pupils” means pupils other than pupils enrolled in an online program or online school, as defined in sections 22-30.7-102 (9) and 22-30.7-102 (9.5), who are enrolled in a qualified charter school.       Funding received pursuant to subsection (1) of this section shall be in addition to any funding provided pursuant to section 22-30.5-513.    The department shall provide funding to each qualified charter school that is an institute charter school by making a monthly payment to the institute as soon as possible after the department receives a monthly payment of state education fund moneys pursuant to section 22-54-124. The institute shall promptly remit the appropriate amount to each eligible institute charter school and shall not withhold any portion of the amount.    An institute charter school shall use moneys it receives pursuant to subsection (1) of this section solely for capital construction, as defined in section 22-54-124 (1)(a).     History.
