District Considers Adopting Lobbying Agenda Against Parental Rights
The board is reviewing resolutions from the Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB), a taxpayer-funded lobbying group. The attached resolutions confirm CASB’s agenda includes opposing school choice, weakening taxpayer protections (TABOR), and fighting state-level parental rights bills under the guise of ‘local control.’
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for details). ‘Regarding Item B.4, I urge the Board to publicly reject the anti-parent and anti-taxpayer portions of the CASB legislative platform, specifically its opposition to school choice and its use of ‘local control’ to fight parental rights legislation. Our district should not use our tax dollars to lobby against families.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

District Explores New Online School Partnership
The district is considering a partnership with Williamsburg Academy of Colorado to expand online learning for grades 6-12. Before approving this, the board must provide parents with independent evidence that this online model produces strong academic results and disclose how much daily screen time it will add for students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND EVIDENCE: Contact the Board of Education before the October 19th meeting (see the Official Agenda link for details). ‘Regarding the potential partnership with Williamsburg Academy (Item B.1), before any negotiations begin, please publish the independent, non-vendor-funded evidence of its academic effectiveness and a clear statement on the expected daily screen time for participating students.’
💰 Impact: More Screen Time

Board to Discuss Tax-Increase Ballot Measures
The Chief Business Officer will present the ‘anticipated impact’ of two statewide ballot measures: Amendment 87 (Graduated Income Tax) and Proposition NN (K-12 Funding). This presentation could be used to advocate for tax increases without a formal board vote.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR & REPORT: Attend the meeting or watch the livestream for Item B.5. Report back to the chapter if the presentation is a one-sided argument for tax increases rather than a neutral financial analysis. The board’s role is to inform, not persuade, on ballot issues.
💰 Impact: Advocacy for Higher Taxes
