 The Colorado general assembly declares that, as a result of several years of active investigation and studies by groups such as the Colorado alliance for science, the Colorado teachers of mathematics, and industry-based groups, the general assembly recognizes that there exist in the state of Colorado unmet educational needs in the areas of mathematics, science, and the use of technology. The state of Colorado has the responsibility to provide equal opportunity in mathematics, science, and the use of technology to all Pre-K-16 students. The state has the responsibility to provide assistance to school districts that either have insufficient faculty resources to offer a full complement of mathematics, science courses, and the use of technology, including opportunities for advanced study, or have insufficient numbers of students to offer such courses. The state has the responsibility to assure that Pre-K-16 students are provided a curriculum of mathematics, science, and the use of technology that is consistent with contemporary standards. The state also has the responsibility to improve teacher training in mathematics, science, and technology. The general assembly further finds that increasing the mathematics, science, and technology educational opportunities for Pre-K-16 students and teachers fosters an educational system whereby the students and teachers of our state can acquire the needed problem-solving skills and the critical and creative thinking skills necessary for productive participation in an increasingly technological age. In order to meet the responsibilities described in this section, the general assembly hereby finds that improved access to and use of telecommunications facilities is necessary.   History.
