The Adams 12 Board of Education made significant strides in addressing mental health support during their meeting on June 4, 2025. The board unanimously approved the appointment of Stephanie Hicks as the designated election official for the upcoming coordinated elections scheduled for November 4, 2025. This decision is crucial as it sets the stage for effective election management in collaboration with the Adams County Clerk and Recorder and the City and County of Broomfield.

In a pivotal discussion, the board reintroduced a resolution focused on mental health support, echoing last year's efforts. This resolution aims to advocate for enhanced mental health resources, particularly in light of ongoing challenges with a facility near Stuckey Elementary. The board noted that while the state legislature was unable to resolve these issues in the recent session, the reintroduction of this resolution through the Colorado Association of School Executives (CASB) could lead to legislative advocacy. Representative Burt has already indicated that this will be one of her priority bills for the next session, highlighting the urgency and importance of the matter.

The board also discussed minor adjustments to the resolution's language to reflect the current context and history since last year. They plan to finalize the details and select their delegates for the CASB assembly in August, ensuring their representation in the upcoming discussions.

Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to addressing mental health challenges in schools and preparing for the upcoming elections, setting a proactive agenda for the community's educational needs.
