HB 22-1248

House Bill 22-1248 extends a pilot program designed to support school leadership in Colorado by removing its trial status and making it permanent. The bill also limits the annual funding for this program to $250,000 and specifies that this amount will be allocated for the implementation of the program during the 2022-23 budget year. This affects schools and principals who participate in the leadership development initiatives supported by the program. Since the bill has been signed into law, it is now active and providing ongoing support to school leaders across Colorado.
