(1)
The general assembly finds that:
(a)
Colorado has more schools on a four-day school week than any other state in the country;
(b)
One hundred eleven of Colorado's one hundred seventy-eight school districts are on a four-day school week, representing more than eighty thousand children;
(c)
Many school districts made the decision to move to a four-day school week to address budget concerns and recognize the need for additional state support and investment in kindergarten-through-twelfth-grade funding in order to move toward a return to a five-day school week;
(d)
However, there is little research on the benefits or costs of a four-day school week to children and learning;
(e)
Frequently, without supplemental enrichment programming and while at home without parents often for more than ten hours at a time, many children are tasked with taking care of siblings and many go without well-balanced meals or snacks during that time;
(f)
Further, low-income parents and parents who do not have a flexible work schedule or time off from work spend time in the workday worrying about children at home, with little ability to provide or pay for supervision when children are not in school during the workweek; and
(g)
While school districts are operating on a four-day school week, supplemental enrichment programming and related enrichment activities can help provide students with the supports they need.
(2)
Therefore, the general assembly declares that supporting community-based nonprofit organizations and eligible rural school districts in providing supplemental enrichment programming through fifth-day academic enrichment and support programs will help ensure that declines in learning are minimized and that children are in a safe, supportive, and academically enriching environment when not at school on the fifth day of a four-day school week.

(1)
The general assembly finds that:
(a)
The state is committed to increasing the number of students who graduate from a Colorado high school, enroll in a Colorado institution of higher education, and graduate with a postsecondary credential in two to four academic years;
(b)
Several states have implemented a summer residential education program for high school students who demonstrate exceptional intellectual curiosity, creativity, and maturity. While participating in the summer program, students attend classes, lectures, seminars, concerts, art exhibits, theatrical performances, and films and have the opportunity to learn independently and from distinguished faculty, staff members, and guest lecturers.
(c)
The summer residential education programs implemented in other states have:
(I)
Successfully developed a civic voice among the states' best students so that they graduate from high school as civic participants;
(II)
Prepared motivated students to participate in a competitive workforce;
(III)
Helped to create young leaders who are energized to find solutions for the pressing issues facing their states; and
(IV)
Motivated students to remain in their home states for their postsecondary education and careers; and
(d)
A high percentage of the students who have participated in the summer residential education programs have subsequently enrolled in postsecondary education in their home states and earned a baccalaureate degree in four years.
(2)
The general assembly finds, therefore, that it is in the best interests of the state to continue the Colorado student leaders institute using the model of summer residential education programs implemented in other states and to appropriate state money to ensure the successful operations of the institute for the benefit of Colorado high school students.
(3)
The general assembly further finds that, for purposes of section 17 of article IX of the state constitution, the Colorado student leaders institute is an accountable program that assists students in meeting state academic standards and may therefore receive funding from the state education fund created in section 17 (4) of article IX of the state constitution.
