- Colorado may tighten the rules for specialized facility schools serving students with intense needs
Colorado's state board is considering stricter regulations for facility schools serving students with intense needs after a school faced sanctions over physical restraint complaints. The Austin Centers for Exceptional Students, which opened in Colorado in 2024, has been sued multiple times in Arizona for alleged staff misconduct. Proposed changes include requiring legal history disclosures and giving the board discretion to approve or deny applications.
