Summary
At its June 11 special meeting the District 11 Board approved a five-year charter contract for the Colorado Military Academy, voted to join the Joint School District workers' compensation self-insurance pool effective July 1, 2025, and renewed the district’s property insurance with Federal Insurance Company (Chubb) for 2025–26.
The Colorado Springs School District 11 Board of Education approved multiple administrative actions on June 11 with little extended discussion.
Charter contract — Colorado Military Academy The board approved resolution 2025-48, which authorizes contract C2026-0010 to establish Colorado Military Academy as a district-authorized charter school. The contract performance period was recorded to commence July 1, 2025, with a five-year term ending June 30, 2030, and subject to earned extensions through the annual performance report process per policy LBD. The motion was made by Director Carey and carried by roll-call vote; the superintendent noted no new information beyond the application review and congratulated CMA graduates headed to service academies.
Workers’ compensation pool The board approved joining the Joint School District workers’ compensation self-insurance pool (JSD Pool), effective July 1, 2025. The motion carried by roll call after prior presentation during a regular meeting. The board recorded no further discussion at the special meeting.
Property insurance renewal The board approved renewal of the district’s property insurance policy with Federal Insurance Company (Chubb) for the policy period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. The motion was moved and seconded and approved by roll call; staff reported no additional new information at the meeting.
Why it matters: The CMA contract allows the charter to operate under district authorization for a standard five-year term with annual performance reporting; joining the JSD pool changes the district’s risk-management and premium arrangements for workers’ compensation. The property-insurance renewal secures coverage for district buildings and assets for the coming fiscal year.
