SCR 18-001

SCR 18-001 is a bill that aims to remove the State Board of Education from Colorado’s state constitution. This means that the board, which currently oversees public schools and sets educational policies, would no longer exist as a constitutional entity. Instead, the general assembly would take over the responsibility for supervising public schools directly. The bill has been signed into law, so the State Board of Education will be dissolved according to this new legislation.
