(1)
If a fiduciary other than an authorizer, operating under the authority of a preliminary order or an order for reorganization, determines that a charter respondent has engaged in an excess benefit transaction, the fiduciary may:
(a)
Cancel in writing and without penalty any contract entered into by the charter school that awards the excess benefit to an individual or another entity and cancel any further compensation to the party that received the excess benefit. The fiduciary may demand the return, within ten business days, to the charter respondent of all excess benefits paid within the preceding three years or, if the excessive payment has been concealed from the charter respondent's full governing board, the preceding six years.
(b)
If payment is not made as demanded pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection (1), file in the name of the charter respondent, a civil action for recovery of the excess benefit and imposition of a civil penalty. If the court finds that the charter respondent paid the excess benefit and the person receiving the excess benefit did not repay the amount within ten business days following the demand for repayment, the court shall deem the excess benefit an unauthorized payment of charter school moneys and award the charter respondent, through the fiduciary, an amount fixed in the court's discretion and based on all the circumstances. However, the amount shall not be less than the excess benefit paid and shall not be more than double the excess benefit paid plus all reasonable attorney fees and costs. If the court finds that the fiduciary did not have a reasonable basis in law and fact for claiming an excess benefit and filing the action, it may award the party defending the action attorney fees and costs.

(1)
The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:
(a)
Online education represents a twenty-first century approach to teaching and learning that is appropriate for today's students;
(b)
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;
(c)
Technology and online education, including both full-time and supplemental programs, are important tools to enhance educational opportunities and improve educational outcomes;
(d)
The growth of online education is challenging existing educational policy, administration, and oversight;
(e)
Online programs and online schools must be accountable to students and parents and to the institutions that accredit online programs and online schools;
(f)
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;
(g)
Local control of schools is a fundamental Colorado value;
(h)
It is the role of families and students to choose their schools and models of education; and
(i)
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.
(2)
The general assembly further finds that:
(a)
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;
(b)
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.
(3)
The general assembly finds, therefore, that the state should:
(a)
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
(b)
Take immediate action to ensure quality and accountability in the online educational programs offered within the state.
