HB 2124 Governor's Schools; selection of fiscal agent.
Introduced by: John S. Reid | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Governor's Schools; selection of fiscal agent. Allows 2 or more school boards operating an academic-year Governor's School to select the fiscal agent for the school from among the treasurers of the participating localities by agreement and with the approval of the respective local governing bodies. Current law provides that the treasurer of the locality in which a joint school (a school operated by two or more school divisions) will serve as fiscal agent for the joint schools.
The Governor's Schools program was first established in 1973 by Governor Linwood Holton. Supported by legislative appropriation, the initiative includes summer residential schools, summer regional schools, and 16 academic-year schools (three of which are full-day programs) and is administered by the Department of Education Programs for the Gifted cooperatively with local school divisions, colleges, and universities.
The academic-year Governor's Schools are operated as joint schools, and provide special studies in sciences, mathematics, technology, and the arts for high school students. The remainder of the student's instruction may be provided by the student's home school or by the Governor's School. These programs receive funding from the Department of Education and participating school divisions. Additional contributions to Governor's Schools are made by local school divisions, institutions of higher education, foundations, and communities.
