The Woodland Park School District RE-2 board convened an executive session to discuss strategy and negotiations related to the Merit Academy charter contract and an associated facilities-use agreement, the chair said. The motion to enter executive session cited "CRS24-6-424E" as the enabling statute; a member seconded the motion and the board approved the session by roll call.
Board members noted that the district superintendent and the chief financial officer would join the executive session to participate in negotiations. The transcript records that those officials "are here" and would join the closed session, but neither official gave a name on the public record within the provided transcript.
After returning to open session, board members discussed dates and times for a special meeting with an executive session to finish negotiations. Members exchanged availability and tentatively agreed to meet Wednesday at 1:30 p.m., while noting staff scheduling and travel constraints could require adjustment.
Formal motions recorded in the transcript included the motion to convene the executive session and a subsequent motion to adjourn the special board meeting portion of the afternoon. The roll call recorded affirmations ("I") from multiple board members when votes were taken; the motion to enter executive session was approved. The transcript does not specify which board member moved or seconded the motions by name, and the statutory citation appears in the record as "CRS24-6-424E." The meeting did not record any final decision on the Merit Academy contract in open session; the board scheduled a follow-up meeting to continue negotiations.
The next procedural step recorded in the transcript is the special board meeting with an executive session to continue contract negotiations, tentatively set for Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. The transcript indicates the time remains subject to change depending on staff availability.
