Colorado Board of EducationTown Hall
Sunday, July 13 2:00 - 3:30 PM
Our representatives on the Colorado Board of Education (“CBOE”) will be in Estes Park to meet with the public on July 13, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The meeting will be in the Hondius Room of the Estes Valley Library and is open to the public.
Presenting information from the CBOE will be Kathy Gebhardt (representing our Congressional District 2) and Kathy Plomer (representing the State of Colorado (at-large)).
The CBOE is responsible for the supervision of public schools in Colorado. It collaborates with the Colorado Legislative and Executive branches, plus school districts and other stakeholders. The CBOE sets policy for public education (pre-K through 12), adult education, and for public libraries.
The CBOE accredits public school districts, authorizes educator preparation programs, sets criteria for educator licensure, and ensures special education services for early childhood students.
Currently, the CBOE has 9 members -- one from each Colorado Congressional District (1-8), plus an “at-large” representative for the State. Members serve 6 year terms and serve without pay.
Please attend to hear updates on public education in Colorado, and to answer your questions on how the CBOE will be working with legislative changes, including impacts on school funding and on educators.
