Purpose
In alignment with HB25-1278, the Colorado Department of Education (CDE), in collaboration with state partners, is developing training and resources to strengthen school board governance related to:
● District & School Performance Frameworks (DPF/SPF)
● Accreditation ratings and pathways
● Unified Improvement Plan (UIP) approval and monitoring
