District 20’s extremist-majority school board is once again moving in silence, this time by introducing a policy change that could permanently erode public transparency. On Tuesday, July 30 at 5:30 PM, join Indivisible Colorado Springs and other community members to protestResolution 248-25, a backdoor attempt to change how administrative policies are created, without meaningful public input.

What’s Happening?

In the thick of summer, when many families are out of town and attention is low, the Academy District 20 Board of Education has called a special meeting to pass Resolution 248-25, formally adopting Executive Limitation Policy 2.11. The resolution’s language sounds benign: it claims to “provide transparency related to the creation and/or revision of administrative policies.”

But the effect is the opposite.

Why It Matters

If passed, this resolution will:

  • Strip the public of visibility into administrative policy changes
  • Allow sweeping procedural shifts without community feedback
  • Signal the board’s first move away from the Policy Governance model, a foundational structure that ensures checks and balances between the board and superintendent

This is a deliberate power grab, and it’s happening quietly.

This shift isn’t just administrative. It’s strategic. By restructuring how policies are written and adopted, the board could give itself unchecked authority to inject partisan agendas into every aspect of district operations, from curriculum to employee conduct.

Event Details

Bring signs, friends, and your voice.

This is not just about a policy.

It’s about whether our public schools will remain public and accountable to the people they serve.
