SB 25-114: Repeal of the FLEX Program

Overview

Bill Number: SB 25-114
Title: Repeal of the FLEX Program
Status: Governor Signed
Introduced: February 03, 2025

Purpose and Intent

This bill seeks to repeal the Flexible Learning Experiences (FLEX) program, which was established in 2020 to provide students with more personalized and self-directed learning opportunities. The primary rationale behind the repeal is to return to a more traditional, standardized approach to education that proponents argue will better prepare students for college and careers.

Key Provisions

  • Eliminates the FLEX program and all associated funding, policies, and regulations
  • Requires all public schools to revert to a standard curriculum, instructional methods, and assessment practices
  • Removes flexibility for schools and districts to develop their own innovative learning models and programs
  • Reinstates mandatory seat time requirements and strict attendance policies for students

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Students will lose the ability to customize their learning experiences and may feel less engaged and motivated
  • Teachers will have reduced autonomy and flexibility in designing instructional approaches
  • Schools and districts will be restricted in their capacity to experiment with new educational models
  • Families who preferred the FLEX program's personalized approach may be dissatisfied with the return to a one-size-fits-all system

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

SB 25-114 was signed into law by the Governor on March 15, 2025. The repeal of the FLEX program will take effect starting with the 2025-2026 academic year, giving schools and districts one year to transition back to the previous educational framework.
