Legislative Matters
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, flexibility, and other critical issues.
