Summary

After an executive session to receive legal advice, the Woodland Park School District RE-2 board voted to approve a settlement in Poole v. Woodland Park School District RE-2; settlement terms were discussed in executive session and not disclosed publicly.

At a special meeting, the Woodland Park School District RE-2 board moved into executive session for legal advice under Colorado statute and discussed the district’s legal position and a proposed settlement in Poole v. Woodland Park School District RE-2.

Following the closed session, a board member moved to approve the settlement "as discussed in executive session." The motion was seconded and approved by voice/roll call. The board stated that legal counsel provided advice in the executive session, and the motion to settle was based on that counsel’s recommendation.

The meeting record does not include settlement terms, monetary amounts or other confidential details because those matters were discussed during the executive session. Board minutes and staff said settlement implementation tasks will be handled by district legal counsel.

The board also later entered a second executive session to review applicant materials for the superintendent search protected by the Colorado Open Records Act, and then adjourned the special meeting.
