School official says lawsuit led to bond resolution approval, which passed 4–1
Summary
A school official told CCPS staff the district sued the county commissioners after they refused to approve a bond resolution; the official said the court interceded and the measure subsequently passed 4–1, and that voters had previously approved the project by about 65%.
A school official told CCPS staff that the school system filed a lawsuit after the county's Board of Commissioners refused to approve the district's bond resolution and that the court's intervention led to the measure passing 4–1.
"I just received word this evening that the measure did pass 4 to 1," the staff member said, describing the lawsuit as "absolutely necessary" to make the commissioners "fulfill their ministerial duty." The speaker said district leaders, county leadership and attorneys had met and that the commissioners had asked for 24 hours to resolve the matter but did not follow through.
The official noted the district has placed similar measures on the ballot multiple times and said voters previously approved what the speaker called the 'East Blost' measure on a November ballot by about 65%. The message framed the lawsuit as a last resort after negotiations failed.
The speaker closed by asking staff to direct questions by email and thanking them for their support.
