Board approves agenda and minutes, votes to enter executive session on Independence Development site
Summary
At the Feb. 24 special meeting the board approved the meeting agenda and Feb. 10 minutes, then voted to go into executive session to discuss purchase/lease options for a 25-acre Independence Development site and negotiations with Independence Classical Academy.
The Elizabeth School District Board of Education handled routine procedural motions and then voted to enter an executive session to confer with staff and legal counsel on real-property and negotiation matters.
At the start of the special meeting, a board member moved to approve the Feb. 24 meeting agenda “as presented.” The motion was seconded and passed on a roll-call vote. The roll-call recorded “Aye” votes from Director Kellingham, Director Fletcher, Director Olson and Director Powell; Director Waller was absent.
The board then moved to approve minutes from the Feb. 10, 2025 meeting. That motion was seconded and carried on the roll call; recorded votes were “Aye” from the same directors who voted to approve the agenda.
Late in the meeting a member moved to convene an executive session under Colorado Revised Statute 24-6-402(4)(a), (b) and (e) to discuss a possible purchase/acquisition/lease of a 25-acre site at the Independence development and a possible lease of that land to Independence Classical Academy; the motion also cited negotiation strategy and the need for legal advice. The motion was seconded and approved by roll call (Kellingham, Fletcher, Olson, Powell: “Aye”; Waller: absent). The board stated no decisions would be made during the executive session and any formal actions would be taken at a subsequent public meeting if needed.
