What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The Colorado State Board of Education is considering limits on how public dollars can fund homeschool enrichment programs run by outside contractors, amid concerns about transparency and funding misuse. Separately, the Board opened the rules for the READ Act for public comment, which will define screening tools and evidence for identifying struggling readers. Additionally, the Board is reviewing rules for facility schools that serve students with intense needs, considering tighter approval and regulation standards.
