The general assembly further finds that school districts should work with the student's parent or guardian and with state agencies and community-based nonprofit organizations to develop alternatives to help students who are at risk of expulsion before expulsion becomes a necessary step and to support students who are unable to avoid expulsion.","path":["Title 22 - EDUCATION","Article 33 - School Attendance Law of 1963","Part 2 - EXPULSION PREVENTION PROGRAMS"],"source_url":"https://olls.info/crs/crs2026-title-22.htm","current_through":"Colorado Revised Statutes 2026","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:37:45Z","sha256":"1df94d2eea1e61b5bcaf0cc92f7d802d7cd185178a52511b430409b7ef177bb2","source_id":"us-co","stale":false,"prev":"us-co/c.r.s.-22-33-112","next":"us-co/c.r.s.-22-33-201.5"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
