What is the Charter School Institute?
In 2004 House Bill 04-1362 created the Charter School Institute (CSI). CSI has the authority to approve or deny charter school applications, monitor Institute charter school operations, and assist in conversion of a district charter school to an Institute charter school. CSI may authorize charter schools in districts that have not retained exclusive authority to authorize charter schools within their district. For a list of districts where the Colorado Charter School Institute may authorize a charter school, go to http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdechart/download/DispositionofRes.pdf.
