CO HB1210

Colorado Department of Education must develop a streamlined format for school district and public school accreditation plans that consolidates state, federal, and grant reporting requirements into a single submission process

School districts and charter school institutes may attach locally-developed action plans addressing specific steps, resources, and other components required by State Board rules

Department must maintain a centralized system for plan submissions to conduct statewide analysis and determine optimal distribution of state resources and supports

Department required to collect user feedback beginning August 31, 2025, and regularly thereafter to assess whether the streamlined format is being used, its helpfulness, and how to improve the system

Legislative findings note rural school districts spend twice as much of their budget on data reporting compared to larger districts, and reporting costs have increased over 53% since 1998
