Board approves agenda, convenes executive session, and renews two charter contracts; roll-call votes documented
Summary
At its April 9 special meeting the Board of Education unanimously adopted the meeting agenda, voted to enter an executive session for negotiations, and approved five-year renewals for Community Prep High School and Eastlake High School contracts starting July 1, 2025.
The Colorado Springs School District 11 Board of Education on April 9 took several formal actions by roll-call vote, including adopting the meeting agenda, convening an executive session, and approving two charter school renewal contracts.
Shortly after calling the special meeting to order, the board adopted the agenda as presented by unanimous roll call. Director Haefeli moved the motion to adopt; the board recorded all ayes. The board then voted to convene an executive session to discuss negotiations and employment contracts, citing CRS (as read at the meeting) for the executive-session authority; the motion to move into executive session carried on a roll-call vote.
Later in the meeting the board approved two district-authorized charter school renewals: - Resolution 2025-22 to approve contract C2026-0002 renewing Community Prep High School as a district-authorized charter school for a five-year term from 07/01/2025 through 06/30/2030. The motion was moved and seconded and adopted by roll call. - Resolution 2025-23 to approve contract C2026-00001 renewing Eastlake High School as a district-authorized charter school for a five-year term from 07/01/2025 through 06/30/2030. That motion likewise passed by roll call.
Superintendent and board staff noted there was no new information to add to the contract renewals beyond what the board previously reviewed; both charter renewals were described as subject to the district’s annual performance review process and any earned extensions under policy LBD.
Why it matters: Charter contract renewals define the district’s oversight and funding relationship with those schools for the coming five-year period. The executive session authorization allows the board to discuss collective bargaining/contract matters away from the public record under the state statute cited at the meeting.
