  On or before October 1, 2011, each charter school shall adopt and implement a policy concerning bullying prevention and education.

  Each charter school that includes any of grades nine through twelve may administer to students enrolled in those grades the developmental education placement or assessment tests that are administered to matriculated first-time freshman students pursuant to section 23-1-113. The charter school may administer the tests to a student at any time and as often as it deems necessary while the student is enrolled in any of grades nine through twelve, but the department of education shall allocate money to each charter school to offset the costs incurred in administering each of the test units only once per student while he or she is enrolled in those grades.    If a charter school chooses to administer the developmental education placement or assessment tests, each student's individual career and academic plan must include the scores achieved by the student on the developmental education placement or assessment tests and, based on an analysis of the scores, the student's level of postsecondary and workforce readiness at the time he or she takes the tests. If a student's scores indicate that he or she is at risk of being unable to demonstrate postsecondary and workforce readiness prior to or upon graduating from high school, school personnel shall work with the student and the student's parent or legal guardian to create an intervention plan that identifies the necessary courses and education support services the student requires to be able to achieve postsecondary and workforce readiness prior to or upon graduating from high school and to be prepared to continue into the postsecondary education option, if any, selected by the student in his or her individual career and academic plan without need for developmental educational services. If appropriate, the charter school, the student, and the student's parent or legal guardian may choose to enroll the student in gateway courses in English or mathematics, as defined in section 23-1-113 (11)(b.5), with additional supports through supplemental academic instruction, as defined in section 23-1-113 (11)(e), at an institution of higher education, through the “Concurrent Enrollment Programs Act”, article 35 of this title 22.

  With the agreement of all charter schools that will receive the revenues generated by a mill levy to collect additional local revenues, the local board of education may, at any time at which a ballot issue arising under section 20 of article X of the state constitution may be decided, submit to the eligible electors of the school district a question to authorize additional local revenues pursuant to section 22-40-102 (1.5) or (1.7), 22-54-108, or .5 to provide operating revenues for one or more charter schools chartered by the school district. The local board of education shall consult with all affected charter schools that will receive the revenues before determining the amount of the additional local revenues. The local board of education has the discretion to combine the ballot question to authorize additional local revenues with any other tax question that the school district is submitting to the eligible electors of the district or to submit the ballot question as a separate question.    An election called pursuant to subsection (1) of this section shall be conducted pursuant to the provisions of articles 1 to 13 of title 1, C.R.S. Each charter school that is to receive a portion of the additional local revenues shall bear the costs of submitting the ballot question in proportion to the amount of revenues it is to receive unless the charter schools and the school district agree to other cost-sharing arrangements.    If the majority of votes cast at an election held pursuant to this section are in favor of the question, the mill levy of the school district for additional local revenues is as approved by the eligible electors of the district, and taxes shall be levied as approved. Additional local revenues that are approved pursuant to this section by a ballot question submitted as provided in section 22-40-102 (1.5) or (1.7), 22-54-108, or .5 are subject to the limitations on the amount and use of the revenues specified in section 22-40-102 (1.5) or (1.7), 22-54-108, or 22-54-108.5, respectively.    Notwithstanding the provisions of section 22-30.5-118 (6) and any provisions of this section to the contrary, a school district shall not impose a mill levy pursuant to this section to benefit a charter school unless the charter school and the school district enter into a contract specifying that the ownership of any items purchased by the charter school using the revenues received from the mill levy automatically reverts to the school district if:   The charter school's charter is revoked or not renewed;    The charter school becomes insolvent and can no longer operate as a charter school; or    The charter school otherwise ceases to operate.

  Each charter school is encouraged to adopt a child sexual abuse and assault prevention plan. Each charter school is encouraged to include in the plan delivery of a comprehensive, age-appropriate curricula for each grade level that the charter school serves regarding child sexual abuse and assault awareness and prevention.

Each charter school is encouraged to include in the child sexual abuse and assault prevention plan professional development for school personnel and parents in preventing, identifying, and responding to child sexual abuse and assault. Professional development may include providing training in preventing, identifying, and responding to child sexual abuse and assault, including using the child abuse reporting hotline system created pursuant to section 26-5-111, C.R.S., and distributing resources to raise the awareness of school personnel and parents regarding child sexual abuse and assault and preventing child sexual abuse and assault.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 22 - Education|Article 30.5 - Charter Schools|Part 3 - Independent Charter Schools|§ 22-30.5-301. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds that section 2 of article IX of the state constitution requires the general assembly to provide for the establishment and maintenance of a thorough and uniform system of free public schools. The state therefore has an obligation to ensure that every student has a chance to attend a school that will provide an opportunity for a quality education. If a school is not providing a thorough and adequate education, as determined by the annual performance review conducted by the department pursuant to section 22-11-210, the state has an obligation to the students enrolled in that school to make changes to ensure that they have an opportunity to receive a quality education comparable to students in other public schools in the state.    Therefore, the general assembly finds it necessary to establish a system for independent charter schools to operate within local school buildings when school districts have failed to provide adequate educational opportunities.
