SB 26-103

Senate Bill 26-103, which has been signed into law, requires Colorado school districts and charter schools to create policies that provide extra help and resources for at-risk students. This can include things like community-based learning programs, after-school activities, tutoring, and other support services. Schools already working on improvement plans focused on helping these students are considered in compliance with the new requirements and must share their plans online. The bill also ensures that county regulations set aside land for public schools. This law aims to improve educational outcomes for vulnerable students by providing them with more resources and support.
