Legislative Matters

Stay Informed

Colorado's legislative session runs January through May each year, a period during which we keep the charter school community and local advocates apprised of current developments at the Capitol, including major public policy and electoral happenings. Keep your pulse on the legislative matters affecting the education sector, including public charter schools.

 
Annual Policy Agenda

Each fall, we collaborate with our Governmental Affairs Committee and Board of Directors to unveil a set of legislative priorities for the upcoming year. Seeking input from our member schools, we carefully consider their feedback on these priorities and put our agenda into action during the subsequent legislative session. 

As we embark on the next legislative session, we are committed to advancing policies that empower charter schools, foster educational excellence, and provide families with the public school options that best meet their children’s needs.
Read our full legislative agenda which covers topics including funding equity, facilities access and affordability, authorizing consistency, autonomy and flexibility, and other critical issues. Read the 2025 policy agenda.


Legislative Update Newsletter

The League offers regular updates on Capitol developments that could have an impact on charter schools. Our Legislative Updates e-newsletter keeps you informed about key developments affecting charter schools. Sent twice a month during the Colorado legislative session, the newsletter provides timely updates from inside the Capitol and what it means for charters. Sign up here.

Legislative Lunches   |   Virtual   |   Members Only

Exclusively for members, we offered weekly Legislative Policy Update calls every Friday from 12:00–12:30 PM during the legislative session. These calls provided an excellent opportunity for more frequent updates and in-depth discussions. They will resume when the next legislative session begins.


Legislative Liaison Program

This program seeks to empower charter school leaders and staff across Colorado with the knowledge, skills, and support necessary to actively engage in the legislative process, advocate for public charter schools, and influence state and local education policy in ways that advance equity, innovation, and educational choice.
