Title I: School Choice
The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) and Jeffco Public Schools are required to ensure that all schools meet state reading and math academic proficiency targets. CDE and the District are required to intervene in schools that persistently do not meet these targets. These progressively more comprehensive interventions are identified as "School Improvement", "Corrective Action" and "Restructuring".
When a school is identified as needing intervention, Jeffco Public Schools must ensure that a public school choice is provided for children whose parents wish to transfer them to a school not in school improvement. The list below identifies which schools children may opt to attend.
