Board reviews outdoor-education MOU, insurance quotes and policy audit; moves policy decisions to August
Summary
The board reviewed a proposed MOU with Colorado Adventure Guides to expand outdoor CTE programming, considered workers'comp insurance renewal quotes (WCF recommended), and previewed CASB policy additions; board deferred policy approvals to August and will take insurance and MOU actions during the business meeting.
Administration recommended entering a memorandum of understanding with Colorado Adventure Guides to expand outdoor recreation and technical education pathways (avalanche safety, swiftwater rescue, river-guiding certifications) beginning July 2026. Staff said the program aims to expand local CTE opportunities and may draw some enrollment back into district-run offerings; board members asked that communication to families be clear about tuition and program options.
On insurance, staff presented two workers' compensation renewal quotes: CopperPoint (current provider) returned a renewal near $48,000 (later countered at ~$43,000), and WCF offered approximately $36,000. Staff recommended WCF based on price and WCF's specialized claims and return-to-work programs; the board indicated support subject to a formal vote in the business meeting.
Finally, administration briefly reviewed an audit of missing policies from CASB and proposed bringing draft policies forward; board members favored holding substantive review until August to ensure adequate vetting rather than fast-tracking emergency adoption immediately.
