A. The provisions of this section shall be applicable to all schools, kindergarten through grade twelve, in the State of Colorado.

1. Schools in operation prior to the effective date of these regulations, which would require capital expenditures to fully meet all of the design, construction and equipment requirements of these regulations, may be deemed acceptable if in good repair and capable of being maintained in a sanitary condition and posing no hazard to the health of the school occupants.

2. Any school shall have a right to challenge any rule that they feel has been too rigidly applied. All challenges must be submitted to the Department in writing, stating the rule being challenged and the reason for the challenge. The Department shall hear the challenge and make determinations pursuant to the statute.

3. These regulations shall not limit the powers and duties of local governments to issue such orders and adopt regulations as stringent as or more stringent than the provisions contained herein; as may be necessary for public health.

B. Plans and specifications shall be submitted prior to construction or extensive remodel, when required by the Department for the installation of sanitary facilities in existing schools being remodeled to increase the occupant load. Submission to the Department does not remove the requirements of the Colorado Department of Public Safety, Division of Fire Safety or local building authorities regarding submissions of plans and specifications.

C. Swimming pools shall be constructed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Swimming Pool and Mineral Bath Regulations, 5 CCR 1003-5, and Title 15, Chapter 106, United States Code (USC), Section 8001, et seq.
