The bill requires each school district to monitor student attendance and to identify each student who is chronically absent (10 percent or more of the school year), each student who has a significant number of unexcused absences; and each student who is habitually truant (four unexcused absences in one month or 10 unexcused absences in a school year). If a student is chronically absent, the school district must implement best practices and research-based strategies to improve the student's attendance. If a student is habitually truant, the school district shall contact the local collaborative management group, juvenile support services group or other local community services group to coordinate the creation of a multidisciplinary plan to improve the student's school attendance. A school district shall initiate court proceedings to enforce school attendance requirements but only if implementation of the student's multidisciplinary plan is unsuccessful. Under current law, the court may sentence the student to detention if the student does not comply with the valid court order. The bill limits the term of detention to no more than five days. Under current law, a person who is 17 years of age or older may take the GED. Under the bill, a student who is 16 years of age and who is under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court may take the GED if the judicial officer or administrative hearing officer finds it is in the student's best interest to do so. The bill clarifies that a school district that is required to provide educational services to a juvenile detention facility shall provide the services for a number of hours that is comparable to the compulsory school attendance requirements and shall provide educational services that align with, and are designed to enable the juveniles to meet, the state model content standards. FIELDS / HUDAK  Improving School Attendance Fiscal impact for this bill  All Amendments

The bill restricts a governmental entity from substantially burdening a person's exercise of religion, even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability, unless the governmental entity demonstrates that the application of the burden to the person is both essential to furthering a compelling governmental interest and is the least restrictive means of doing so.

A person whose exercise of religion has been burdened by a governmental entity may assert that violation as a claim or defense in any judicial or administrative proceeding and may obtain such declaratory relief or monetary damages as may be properly awarded by a court. If a person prevails in a proceeding to enforce the act, he or she may recover reasonable costs and attorney fees.

Under the existing law, private postsecondary schools that enroll a majority of their students for credentials that require 2 years or less to complete (private occupational schools) are authorized and regulated by the private occupational school board (board), but a nonprofit private occupational school does not have to be authorized.

Under current law, state-supported institutions of higher education (institution) must generally maintain a required ratio of resident student admissions to nonresident student admissions. The bill allows an institution to count a student who is admitted as a Colorado scholar as 2 in-state students for purposes of calculating this ratio. The university of Colorado system and Colorado state university are also required to ensure that the percentage of students who are admitted based on criteria other than the statewide admissions criteria does not fall below the average of the percentage of these students admitted for the 3 preceding years. Under the bill, these institutions are considered to meet this requirement if the percentage of in-state students admitted based on the alternative criteria plus the percentage of in-state students enrolling as Colorado scholars is greater than the percentage of nonresident students admitted based on the alternative criteria. WALLER / HEATH  Support For Meritorious Colorado Students Fiscal impact for this bill 2013-05-08 No amendments found for this bill

The bill requires the school accountability committees to hold public meetings to solicit input concerning the contents of school priority improvement plans and school turnaround plans before the plans are written. In addition, district accountability committees and school accountability committees must work to increase parent engagement in the public schools by publicizing openings on district and school accountability committees, soliciting parents to serve on the district and school accountability committees and assisting school personnel in communications with parents. A public school that must adopt a priority improvement plan or turnaround plan must include in the plan strategies for increasing parent engagement in the school. The existing State Advisory Council for Parent Involvement in Education, in addition to its other duties, will also work with the district and school accountability committees to increase parent engagement. The council must also work with the Department of Education to provide training to the district and school accountability committees in leadership and in increasing parent engagement. The council must also work with the department to provide training for school personnel concerning working with parents. The council will identify key indicators of parent engagement in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary schools, and use the indicators to create metrics to measure and monitor the level of parent engagement and the progress made in increasing parent engagement. The council will annually report its findings concerning parent engagement to the State Board of Education, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education and the legislative education committees. Under current law, a school district board of education may adopt a policy for parent engagement in the district. The bill requires each board of education to adopt a parent engagement policy and requires each board to work with the district accountability committee in creating the policy.

The bill replaces this requirement with a credit and coverage test that requires the governing body of the institution to have: * A credit rating in one of the 3 highest categories, without regard to modifiers within a category, from at least one major credit rating organization and no credit rating that is in a category below the 3 highest categories, without regard to modifiers within a category, from any such organization; and * A debt service coverage ratio of at least one and one-half to one.
