Board approves Resolution 25.11.1 after debate; Allen votes no citing financial stewardship
Summary
The Cherry Creek School District board approved Resolution 25.11.1 on Nov. 10 after debate about bond fund priorities. Director Kristen Allen voted no, saying her concern was financial stewardship and that the district had not fully justified the project as the best use of bond dollars.
The Cherry Creek School District Board approved Resolution 25.11.1 on Nov. 10 following discussion about use of bond funds.
Director Terry Bates moved approval of Resolution 25.11.1 and the motion was seconded and put to a roll-call vote. Director Kristen Allen said before the vote, "My vote tonight is not a reflection on Stride or the services provided, which I value. My concern is about financial stewardship. I don't believe we've clearly demonstrated why this specific project is the best and necessary use of bond dollars at this time." Allen then voted No; Directors Bates, Egan, Futrell and President Garland voted Aye and the motion carried.
The board had earlier approved the balance of the consent agenda and pulled Resolution 25.11.1 for separate consideration at Allen's request. Discussion focused on whether the specific project represented the best use of bond funds; Allen asked for clearer justification and evaluation of alternatives.
The resolution passed by roll call; the transcript does not include additional procedural follow-up or implementation dates for the project funded under Resolution 25.11.1.
