The highly effective school library program rubric guides administrators and teacher librarians in sustaining and growing the school's library program. While this document is designed to align with the look and feel of CDE's State Model Evaluation System for Teachers, this is not to be considered a replacement of that rubric; rather, it can serve as a supplement to that rubric. This can also be used as a supplemental rubric in districts that are using their own unique evaluation system for school staff. This also fulfills the statutory requirement for services standards in ʹ24-90-105(2)(a.3) to guide development and improvement of school libraries.

In 2009, the Colorado General Assembly passed legislation titled the Colorado Healthy Forests and Vibrant Communities Act (HB09-1199), which increases efforts to address wildfire risk, provides resources to the Colorado State Forest Service to augment its technical outreach capabilities, and provides loans and grants for market-based and forest treatment solutions to reduce wildfire risk. With this legislation, the CSFS has been able to increase services to individuals, communities and organizations across Colorado.
