Shame on you, Boulder Valley School District
Dear Boulder Valley School District Board of Education,
Just how much of the taxpayers’ money did you spend in your lawsuit against the State Charter School Institute? You lost the suit in district court but appealed to the Colorado Court of Appeals, costing not only the school district but the state more money. All to deny families more educational choice and opportunity. Thankfully, the appeals court justices had the good sense to uphold the district court’s decision.
Shame on you, Boulder Valley School District!
(Update: “Boulder Valley officials said they’ve spent $198,695 to date on the lawsuit.”)

As a parent of a charter school student, BVSD couldn’t be further away from representing me if they tried intentionally. Unfortunately, BVSD seems to represent only their own power structure rather than student education. The BVSD board needs to re-examine their role and why they were elected. Wasting nearly 200,000 dollars while trying to deny educational choices was not in the “brochure” when these people were elected.
