Legislative Update for Colorado Homeschool Enrichment Families

As many Colorado homeschool families are aware, the 2026 legislative session resulted in significant changes affecting Homeschool Enrichment (HSE) programs operating through Colorado Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), including Education reEnvisioned BOCES (ERBOCES).

While the state's funding model for the 2026–2027 school year remains unchanged, new application requirements, assurances, and compliance documentation are now required for all participating HSE programs. ERBOCES is actively working with the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) to complete this review process and ensure that each participating program meets the new statutory and regulatory requirements.

Inner City Enrichment Academy (ICEA) has submitted its application through ERBOCES and is currently awaiting final review and approval by the Colorado Department of Education.

Enrollment for 2026–2027

ICEA continues to accept enrollment applications for the upcoming school year while the approval process is underway. Families who have already submitted enrollment applications do not need to reapply at this time.

As additional guidance becomes available from ERBOCES and the Colorado Department of Education, enrolled families will receive updates directly from innercityenrichmentacademy@gmail.com. We are committed to providing timely and transparent communication throughout this process.

Planning for the Fall

Because statewide guidance continues to evolve, families are encouraged to keep their educational options open while final approvals are pending. If your student may benefit from additional homeschool enrichment services this fall, we encourage you to continue exploring available opportunities so that you have the flexibility to make the best decision for your family once final determinations have been made.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as ERBOCES and the Colorado Department of Education complete this important review process. Our goal remains to provide a high-quality homeschool enrichment program that serves families well while meeting all applicable state requirements.

We look forward to sharing additional updates as soon as they become available.
