Colorado · Education · §§ 22-1-101 to 22-1-143 · 49 sections
Overview
This act governs the operation of schools and the education of school-age children, beginning with the definitions that determine which institutions and which students fall under it and setting requirements for the school year, enrollment, attendance, and the counting of school children. Its core mechanism is a body of mandated instruction — English, history, culture, and civil government, the federal constitution, the visual and performing arts, Holocaust and genocide studies, the effects of alcohol and controlled substances, human sexuality, and life-saving skills such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use of automated external defibrillators — paired with directives that school boards adopt written policies on student health and safety, including medication administration, chronic conditions such as asthma, allergies, and seizures, and the reporting of threats and of alleged misconduct by school employees. It also establishes student rights and protections, such as free expression and the privacy of student data, restricts certain school practices, assigns enforcement duties to local school boards, and extends selected reporting obligations to nonpublic schools.
