Colorado Premiere Academy Decision

Last week the Colorado Charter School Institute postponed making a decision on Colorado Premiere Academy’s application while they sort out whether CSI is a multi-district authorizer or a single-district authorizer. SB07-215, the online education bill passed last legislative session, limited the ability of authorizers to charter multi-district online schools. Since CSI is a “virtual” authorizer in a patchwork of geographical districts (those without exclusive chartering authority), there are differing opinions on how the law applies to the Institute.
