The Harrison School District No. 2 Board of Education approved three ceremonial resolutions on Oct. 23, 2025.

- National Native American Heritage Month: The board read a resolution recognizing November 2025 as National Native American Heritage Month and noting the histories, cultures and contributions of Native Americans. The resolution text cited 2020 Census figures for American Indian and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian populations and affirmed the district will observe the month.

- Charter mill-levy distribution to charter schools: The board read a resolution describing its intent to distribute an amount equal to 95% of the district per-pupil mill-levy share to each charter school, multiplied by the charter'9s student count for the applicable budget year, in accordance with state statute (C.R.S. A7 22-32-108.5). The resolution language included an effective date and an instruction to affix the district seal. (Motion text: read resolution; vote tally not specified.)
- Gifted and Talented Education Week proclamation: The board read a proclamation from Governor Jared Polis recognizing Oct. 19–25, 2025 as gifted and talented education week in Colorado and encouraging support for accelerated and differentiated learning opportunities. (Motion text: read proclamation; vote tally not specified.)
Each item was presented as a ceremonial resolution or proclamation. The transcript indicates the resolutions were read aloud and entered into the record; it does not show detailed roll-call vote counts or recorded nay/abstain tallies.
