| Description of Subjects/Issues |
The rules are being revised to incorporate new criteria for public schools to demonstrate that they are an alternative education campus |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
During the 2011 legislative session, H.B. 11-1277 was passed, which made two changes to statute, in section 22-7-604.5, C.R.S. These changes amended the definition of the definition of a “High-Risk Student” to include middle school students and students who are over traditional school age for their grade level and lack adequate credit hours for their grade level. The legislative changes also permit public schools to qualify for AEC status if they have a population in which 95% of students have an IEP, have a population in which 95% of students meet the definition of a High-Risk Student, or have a population in which 95% of students have either an IEP or meet the definition of a High-Risk Student. |
