The D20 Accountability Project publishes civic research, public-records context, and accountability analysis about Academy District 20 and Colorado public education. These standards explain how the site handles sourcing, corrections, analysis, and public-interest claims.
Evidence Standard
The site prioritizes claims that can be checked against public records, official documents, public meeting materials, campaign filings, public statements, archived webpages, screenshots with context, or other verifiable source material.
When possible, articles and profiles should link readers to the underlying record, identify the source, and separate documented facts from interpretation or analysis.
Public Records And Source Documents
Source records are treated as the backbone of the site. Documents may be indexed with dates, source names, source URLs, document types, issuing entities, context summaries, and integrity notes so readers can evaluate the evidence directly.
Source notes are used as provenance and editorial context. They should not be treated as primary-source documents unless they are intentionally published as their own source artifact.
Analysis And Commentary
The site may publish analysis, commentary, and accountability framing. That analysis should be grounded in records, public statements, policy consequences, documented affiliations, or clearly identified civic context.
The D20 Accountability Project does not pretend to be neutral toward efforts that undermine public education, democratic governance, transparency, church-state separation, student safety, or inclusive schools. The standard is still documentation, accuracy, and fair presentation of the record.
Attribution
When reporting depends on another publication, public agency, community source, campaign material, organization page, or government record, the site should identify or link the relevant source when practical.
Quoted material should be used selectively and with context. The site should avoid presenting excerpts in a way that distorts their meaning.
Corrections And Updates
Accuracy matters. If a factual error is identified, the site should correct it. When a correction materially changes a reader’s understanding of an article, profile, or source record, the page should indicate that it has been corrected or updated.
Correction requests should identify the page URL, the specific statement at issue, the proposed correction or added context, and supporting documentation if available.
Submit correction requests through the Contact page.
Sensitive Information
The site should avoid publishing private student records, confidential family information, medical information, passwords, private account access, or material that is not authorized for public use.
Public-interest reporting may identify public officials, candidates, organizations, public agencies, public meeting participants, campaign actors, and people whose public activity is relevant to civic accountability. That use should be tied to public conduct, public records, or documented influence on public education.
Independence
D20Kids.com is independently maintained. It is not an official Academy District 20 website, school district publication, candidate committee, campaign, political party site, or government archive.
The site may criticize public conduct, public decisions, campaign activity, and organizational influence. It does not endorse or oppose candidates as a campaign committee.
Reader Use
Readers should use this site as a guide to records and analysis, not as a substitute for inspecting original sources. When a claim matters, follow the links, read the source material, and compare it against the broader public record.
