1215 Task Force Community Feedback Report

July 12, 2023

The Attainment Network, alongside the Colorado Department of Education and the Colorado Community College System, led an effort to design, collect, and report on community input to inform the HB22-1215 Secondary, Postsecondary and Work-Based Learning Integration Task Force (Study of Expanding High School Programs).


Recommendations delivered to the Task Force focus on the equitable access to and successful expansion of high school programs across all regions of Colorado with a focus on traditionally underserved populations and those who have not accessed relevant programming in their educational experience.


The discovery process of community feedback collection leveraged community organizations, educational organizations, and local partnerships, including The Boys & Girls Clubs of the San Luis Valley, Colorado Mountain College, and Ednium – The Alumni Collective.
