(2) "Grant program" means the local accountability system grant program established in section 22-11-703. (3) "Local accountability system" means a local accountability system established by a local education provider or group of local education providers to measure the performance of public schools and school districts in achieving student success and system effectiveness. (4) "Local education provider" means a school district, a board of cooperative services that operates a school, a district charter school, or an institute charter school. If a group of local education providers works together to establish a local accountability system, the group is referred to as a "local education provider", but the requirements specified in this part 7 apply to each local education provider that participates in the group.
