| CO | Vetoed 06/2005 | P-12 | Repeals and reenacts the corrective action provisions for underperforming public schools. Requires the state board to annually notify each district and the state charter school institute as to which, if any, of its schools received a "low" or "unsatisfactory" rating in the state accountability system. Requires the department to adopt a school performance review process for schools rated "unsatisfactory." Requires the school performance review process to include creation of one or more school support teams to review each school rated "unsatisfactory" and make recommendations for an improvement plan with corrective actions. Permits the department, provided funds are available, to provide reviews and training for school support teams for schools rated "low." Allows each district and the institute to establish its own school performance review process, subject to department approval and to request comprehensive training for school support teams thereby established, which training the department must provide.
Requires the department to provide comprehensive training to school support teams that must ensure each team member has a thorough knowledge of the department's standards and indicators for continuous school improvement and understands how to apply the standards and indicators in evaluating a school's performance.
Beginning with the academic performance ratings for the 2004-2005 school year, requires a school receiving an "unsatisfactory" rating to undergo a review by a school support team and for the team to develop recommendations for an improvement plan with corrective actions. Mandates that the school begin implementing the improvement plan by the fall semester of the academic year following that in which the school received notice of inadequate performance. Establishes circumstances under which a school with an "unsatisfactory" rating is subject to restructuring or may cease to be subject to the school improvement action cycle.
Beginning with the academic performance ratings for the 2004-2005 school year, requires a district or the state charter school institute containing a school receiving a "low" rating that meets other additional criteria to review the school's operations and develop an improvement plan with corrective actions for the school. Mandates that the school begin implementing the improvement plan by the fall semester of the academic year following that in which the school received notice of inadequate performance. Establishes circumstances under which a school with a school improvement plan thus created may cease to be subject to the school improvement plan.
Establishes procedures for a school support team to conduct a performance review of a school and requires the team to prepare a comprehensive performance review report for the school. Requires a school that has received a performance review report to develop an improvement plan with corrective actions based on the findings and recommendations in the report. Requires the improvement plan to identify one or more from a list of specified corrective actions.
Requires a school support team member to provide an implementation review for a school that has implemented an improvement plan for one full school year, and to prepare an implementation review report. Specifies content of report.
Requires a school subject to restructuring to alter its governance structure. Sets forth procedures and options for such. Allows a district or the state charter school institute to voluntarily restructure a public school at any point in the school improvement action cycle at least 60 days before the determination that a school is required to restructure. Such a restructuring plan is not subject to the aforementioned altered governance structure provisions. States that if the state board determines that the school's restructuring plan is a major restructuring of the school's governance, the school will cease to be subject to the school improvement action cycle until such time as the school may again be subject to the school improvement action cycle by receiving an "unsatisfactory" or qualified "low" rating.
Sets forth procedures for a local board to convert a school subject to restructuring to a charter school.
Specifies that low-performing alternative education campuses are subject to the improvement plan and corrective action subsequent to a performance review report in the same manner as regular public schools.
Modifies closing the achievement gap program; deletes language that the program is to provide extensive assistance to an eligible school at risk of being converted into a charter school. Replaces with language that the program must provide extensive assistance to an eligible school at risk of governance restructuring as set forth in statute 22-7-909 (above).
Creates new paragraph allowing a charter to be revoked subsequent if it is determined that a charter school failed to show adequate improvement in its overall academic performance rating and is therefore subject to governance restructuring.

| HI | Signed into law 06/2005 | P-12 | Clarifies definitions of "new century charter schools" and "public schools". Requires charter school plans to include a plan for identifying, recruiting, and retaining highly-qualified instructional faculty. Requires a charter school's governance structure to incorporate a conflict of interest policy and a plan for periodic board training. Requires a charter school's plans to include a financial plan based on the most recent fiscal year's per-pupil charter school allocation that demonstrates the ability to meet the financial obligations of one-time start-up costs and ongoing costs such as monthly payrolls, faculty recruitment, professional development, and facilities costs. Amends new century charter school review panel membership to decrease board of education members and add two new members. Allows board of education to deny charter to school recommended by panel and establishes requirements if the board does not approve the charter.
Allows charter school employees full participation in the state systems for retirement, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, temporary disability insurance, and health benefits. Requires the department to provide its position listings to the charter school administrative office and any interested local school board of any new century charter school, and to facilitate and encourage the movement of instructional personnel between the department and new century charter schools, including limiting probationary status to one year, within specified parameters.
Allows the new century charter schools to propose to the board of education an alternative weighted student formula.
Repeals existing language on evaluating charter schools. Enacts new language requiring the board to adopt guidelines for multi-year evaluations of charter schools that have been chartered for four or more years, or for special evaluations at any time. Provides parameters and procedures for the board to place a charter school on probation and revoke a charter. Expands definition of "organizational viability" for a charter school.
Adds that if, at any time, the board of directors of the nonprofit organization governing a new century conversion charter school votes to discontinue its relationship with the charter school, the charter school may submit an application to the board to continue as a conversion school without the participation of the nonprofit organization.
Creates the Task Force on Charter School Governance to identify and recommend to the legislature revisions to the existing charter school law and to help create an effective framework for overseeing and supporting new and existing charter schools. Sets forth the areas on which the task force must make recommendations and establishes membership. Requires the charter school administrative office to submit a report to the legislature on the task force's progress, findings, and recommendations no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the regular session of 2006.
Ensures more equitable and stable funding for the basic operations of new century charter schools, including: (1) establishing and providing funding for a per pupil allocation funding mechanism; (2) requiring that funds be requested for fringe benefit costs and collective bargaining increases for charter school employee members of collective bargaining units; (3) allowing additional appropriations for workers' compensation benefits; and (4) providing charter schools with access to all federal education funds received by the state. Ensures charter schools' compliance with federal regulations under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Clarifies administrative hearing procedures relating to the education of handicapped children. Appropriates funds for these various purposes. (CD1)
