Board approves resolution 25.11.1 (Stride services); Director Allen votes no over bond stewardship concerns
Summary
The Cherry Creek School District Board approved resolution 25.11.1 related to Stride services by a 4–1 vote. Director Kristen Allen said she would vote no because she was not convinced the contract was the best use of bond funds and said more justification and alternatives should have been shown.
The Cherry Creek School District Board of Education voted to approve resolution 25.11.1 at its Nov. 10 meeting after a motion, discussion and roll-call vote.
Director Terry Bates moved to approve resolution 25.11.1; the motion was seconded and put to roll call. Director Kristen Allen said before voting she did not intend her position to be a reflection on Stride's services but cited financial stewardship concerns and said, "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 said she was not comfortable she could clearly explain the justification to the community and that she would vote no for those reasons.
The roll call showed Directors Bates, Eagan (listed as Eagan/Egan in the record), Futrell and Garland voting "Aye" and Director Allen voting "No." The vote carried 4–1 and the resolution was approved.
The record shows earlier discussion referenced Stride and services in connection with the pulled resolution; no further procedural amendments or conditions were recorded on the motion at the meeting. The board did not take additional public action tied to that discussion during the meeting.
The board's next regular meeting is Dec. 8, 2025 at Horizon Community Middle School in Aurora.
