HB 26-1356

HB 26-1356, which has been signed into law, removes a local accountability system that was used alongside the state’s education accountability measures. This system included a grant program aimed at supporting schools. The bill affects school districts and educational funding across Colorado. Since it is now signed, the local accountability system and its associated grants are no longer in effect.

Official Summary

Under current law, as a supplement to the state accountability system in the department of education, a local accountability system may be established by a local education provider to measure the performance of public schools and school districts in achieving student success and system effectiveness. The act repeals the local accountability system law, which includes the local accountability system grant program.     The act reduces the members of the accountability, accreditation, student performance, and resource inequity task force from 26 to 25 by removing the task force member who is a superintendent who represents a rural school district that participates in the repealed local accountability system grant program.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
