(1)
The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:
(a)
Colorado ranks fortieth in the nation in the school nurse-to-student ratio;
(b)
The federal center for disease control's healthy people 2020 recommended one school nurse for every seven hundred fifty general education students, but many school nurses in Colorado are responsible for as many as six thousand students, making it difficult to provide the social-emotional support necessary to students and staff;
(c)
In 2011, prior to the legalization of retail marijuana, almost forty percent of students surveyed reported having tried marijuana one or more times, with nine percent reporting that they had tried marijuana before age thirteen;
(d)
In addition, twenty-two percent of students reported using marijuana one or more times in the last thirty days, with six percent reporting that they had used marijuana on school property one or more times;
(e)
The legalization of retail marijuana is anticipated to increase the availability of marijuana to underage youth;
(f)
Marijuana use by minors can have immediate and lasting health implications, and many youth who engage in substance abuse develop or have underlying behavioral health needs;
(g)
School health professionals have already started to experience the results of marijuana as a newly legalized substance in increased visits to the health office and referrals from school staff; and
(h)
School health professionals are in a unique position to educate, assess, and treat youth who have substance abuse or behavioral health issues.
(2)
The general assembly further finds and declares that a program to provide matching grants to education providers to enhance the presence of school health professionals in schools throughout the state will facilitate better screening, education, and referral care coordination for students with substance abuse and other behavioral health needs.

(1)
The general assembly finds that:
(a)
While ensuring cognitive development and strong academic outcomes for Colorado's students is of paramount importance, focus must also be placed on the whole student, including their physical, psychological, and social health and development;
(b)
Not only does physical education instruction reduce childhood obesity and foster a lifetime commitment to physical activity and healthy lifestyles, but a 2007 study by the institute of medicine found that physical activity also has a positive impact on cognitive ability and brain development, insomnia, depression, anxiety, and avoiding tobacco use;
(c)
According to the United States department of defense, in 2018, obesity was one of the top reasons why seventy-one percent of Americans ages seventeen to twenty-four did not meet the military's physical requirements for military service;
(d)
Recent research has demonstrated that there is a positive relationship between frequency of physical education and academic achievement;
(e)
In addition, increased time devoted to physical education has been demonstrated to lead to positive development of social skills, social behaviors, self-esteem, pro-school attitudes, and improved mental health;
(f)
Further, children who have physical education instruction are two and one-half times more likely to be active adults;
(g)
Quality physical education strengthens the whole child through movement competency, cognitive development, and social-emotional wellness to achieve lifelong health benefits; and
(h)
In 2016, a coalition of Colorado-based health and wellness organizations and educators drafted a model physical education policy based on research and best practices for voluntary adoption by schools and school districts.
(2)
Therefore, the general assembly declares that it is important to the health and well-being of Colorado's children and youth to ensure competent and comprehensive quality physical education instruction in Colorado schools through the creation of a pilot program for comprehensive quality physical education instruction based on the model physical education policy and through the subsequent evaluation of the pilot program's impact on participating children and youth.

(1)
The general assembly finds that:
(a)
School mental health professionals, including school social workers, positively impact the school environment by working with young students and their families to identify safety-net insecurities, social and emotional skills deficits, instances of abuse and neglect, and mental health challenges;
(b)
Identifying these student issues as early as possible increases the likelihood that problems can be resolved successfully and in a manner that decreases long-term problems with learning and other barriers to student success in the future;
(c)
A pilot program that places a team of school mental health professionals in every pilot program school will allow the team, in partnership with classroom teachers, to provide needed support for young students and their families at a critical time in their education;
(d)
A significant goal of the pilot program is to ensure that students of elementary age receive the right level of necessary services, in the right place, and at the right time;
(e)
Receiving the right level of services, in the right place, and at the right time helps remove the burden placed on teachers to be everything to a student, from therapist to family counselor, and instead allows teachers to return to their primary task: Teaching; and
(f)
The pilot program will enable parents, students, teachers, administrators, and school mental health professionals to create a safe, positive, and successful school learning environment.
(2)
Therefore, the general assembly declares that the creation and successful implementation of a Colorado K-5 social and emotional health pilot program could have a profound impact on the early educational and social experiences of kindergarten through fifth-grade students, resulting in those students graduating to middle and high school programs with fewer social, emotional, and behavioral issues; adverse childhood experiences; disciplinary referrals and delinquent conduct; school absences and truancy; and incidences of self-harm.

(1)
The general assembly finds that:
(a)
Significant interruptions to in-person learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic have led to potentially devastating and long-lasting negative impacts on student achievement, impacting every part of Colorado society;
(b)
These negative impacts on student achievement are not equal; students furthest from privilege are at risk of falling behind the most;
(c)
Research suggests that while all students may fall behind as much as seven months because of interruptions to in-person learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, students who identify as Black, Latino, or lower income may fall behind as much as ten months, exacerbating already entrenched inequities;
(d)
Responding to learning loss and the widening of opportunity gaps could be the greatest challenge our state faces over the next few years, and the state has an urgent and immediate need to provide additional support to ensure students are well prepared for the future;
(e)
With scarce resources, it is imperative to know which academic interventions yield the best results for students so that resources are deployed judiciously and effectively;
(f)
While there are many interventions that have a positive impact on student achievement, one intervention, backed by a strong body of research, has consistently been shown to be the most effective in every grade, from kindergarten through twelfth grade;
(g)
Studies have consistently shown, in multiple diverse settings, that "high-impact tutoring", also referred to as "high-dosage tutoring", has made significant positive impact on students from all backgrounds, but especially students furthest from opportunity; and
(h)
When such tutoring is implemented, students average more than four months of additional learning in elementary literacy, thereby strengthening vital early reading and writing skills, and almost ten months of additional learning in high school math.
(2)
Therefore, local education providers should be incentivized to implement high-impact tutoring as one of the interventions schools have access to as they create plans to recover from learning loss or unfinished learning that has taken place because of the pandemic.
