4444 SECTION 1. Legislative declaration. (1) (a) The general2
4545 assembly finds that:3
4646 (I) Current law requires the department of education to collect4
4747 and report data related to the successes and failures of charter schools.5
4848 However, current law states little about the data and practices of those6
4949 who authorize charter schools.7
5050 (II) High-quality charter school authorization practices play a8
5151 critical role in establishing a high-functioning charter school sector9
5252 which elevates all kindergarten through twelfth grade education in10
5353 Colorado; and11
5454 (III) More data and greater transparency into entities that12
5555 authorize charter schools is necessary to ensure that charter school13
5656 authorization is consistently occurring at the highest level of quality14
5757 possible. Accordingly, to better inform best practices concerning charter15
5858 school authorization, and to better inform the public about charter school16
5959 authorization, this information should be publicly available, in plain and17
6060 easy-to-understand language.18
6161 (b) Therefore, the general assembly declares it necessary to19
6262 SB24-088-2- supplement the department of education's report on charter schools to1
6363 provide greater transparency and clarity regarding entities that authorize2
6464 charter schools, including enrollment, school performance, resource3
6565 sharing, and information concerning school districts that do not have a4
6666 charter school.5
