Steamboat Springs School Board adopts resolution backing adequate, equitable Colorado public-education funding

The Steamboat Springs School Board on Feb. 10 unanimously adopted Resolution 20250201, expressing support for "adequate and equitable funding of Colorado public education," after a brief discussion citing two state-funded studies the board said merit further legislative attention.

Board member Katie Lee moved the resolution "as presented," and board member Cresta seconded the motion. The board clerk, Deb Genesta, called the roll. The five voting members recorded aye votes and the resolution passed.

Leah (last name not specified in the transcript), a sponsor of the measure, told the board the resolution reiterated findings from two studies that were “funded and mandated by the senate” and that the district believes the state should act on the studies' recommendations.

The transcript records the motion text as read during the meeting: "I resolve that the board of education adopt resolution 20250201 in support of adequate and equitable funding of Colorado public education as presented." The motion passed on a recorded vote of five ayes.

No amendments or secondary actions were recorded during the floor discussion. The board did not attach a timeline or direct staff to additional steps in the minutes beyond adoption.

Board members in subsequent remarks said they had discussed the studies with state legislators and encouraged follow-up engagement; the district said it would continue outreach and monitoring of state activity related to school funding.

The official roll-call vote recorded in the meeting transcript: Cresta ' I (aye); Kevin ' I (aye); Laura ' I (aye); Leah ' I (aye); Katie ' I (aye).
