Board moves into executive session to receive legal advice on CSEA strike-related issues
Summary
At a Sept. 10 special meeting, the Colorado Springs School District No. 11 Board of Education unanimously adopted the agenda and voted to convene an executive session under CRS 24-6-402 to receive legal advice about Colorado Springs Education Association strike-related matters.
The Board of Education of Colorado Springs School District No. 11 convened a special meeting at 6:20 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2025, and unanimously adopted an agenda that listed a single item: an executive session to receive legal advice related to the Colorado Springs Education Association and strike-related issues.
Doctor Haefeli moved that the board "adopts the agenda as presented," and the motion was seconded and carried by unanimous roll-call vote, the chair announced. The chair then introduced a motion "that the Board of Education convenes into executive session to discuss legal advice per CRS 24-6-402 for the particular matter, Colorado Springs Education Association strike related issues." That motion also passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
The board’s action invoked Colorado’s Open Meetings Law provision allowing closed sessions for the purpose of receiving legal advice. The transcript records the citation as CRS 24-6-402. The meeting record shows all seven directors were present in person for the special meeting and for both votes.
No further details about the legal advice or the substance of the strike-related matters were disclosed in public session. The chair said the board would either return to the open meeting if necessary or adjourn at the end of the executive session.
The board did not take additional public action during the portion of the meeting recorded in the transcript provided.
