Innovation Schools Act—Innovation Plans—Public Schools. The Supreme Court considered whether the Innovation Schools Act of 2008, CRS §§ 22-32.5-101 to -111, precludes a local school board from approving an innovation plan submitted by a \new\ innovation school, that is, a school that has not previously opened as a non-innovation school and has yet to hire teachers. The Court concluded that the Innovation Schools Act does not preclude approval of innovation plans from such \new\ innovation schools. Accordingly, the judgment of the Court of Appeals was reversed.
