Board reaffirms competency-based system with annual CBS resolution
Summary
The Westminster Public Schools Board unanimously adopted an annual competency-based system (CBS) resolution reaffirming the district’s commitment to competency-based education and related district values.
WESTMINSTER, Colo. — On Sept. 9 the Westminster Public Schools Board of Education unanimously adopted the district’s annual competency-based system (CBS) resolution, a symbolic but regular reaffirmation of the district’s commitment to competency-based education and associated practices.
Doctor Brian Casina introduced the resolution during the meeting, noting the board reviews and votes on the CBS resolution annually. A board member moved adoption and a second was recorded; roll-call votes were Aye from Miss Martinez, Miss Murphy, Mister Orequio and Miss Yonez, and the resolution passed.
Why it matters: the resolution is the board’s yearly public statement endorsing the district’s competency-based work and related priorities; it does not itself create new policy but signals continuing district commitment to the approach and to embedded values staff and leaders describe as part of district identity.
Distinguishing discussion vs action: the item was a formal action with a recorded motion, second and roll-call vote. Board members noted they had discussed the resolution in a prior study session and moved directly to a vote in the business meeting.
Ending: The board’s adoption reaffirms the district’s stated instructional direction and functions as guidance to staff and the community; implementation continues through curriculum and professional development already underway.
