Did Ken Witt violate Colorado Election Law?

Colorado’s Fair Campaign Practices Act prohibits government agencies from urging “electors to vote in favor of or against any”..”Local ballot issue” (read the specific section of the law here). Read what Ken Witt wrote in the September 20th newsletter to parents about the upcoming vote on the sales tax issue, and decide for yourself if he’s following the law.

Nearby D20 faced something similar…the board was expressing opinions on a ballot issue voters are facing down there, promoting intervention by the Secretary of State.

UPDATE – Witt did it again in the 10/4 newsletter to families, shown below.

The “cure” case concerns a 2022 open meetings law violation by the Woodland Park school board, which considered a memorandum of understanding with a charter school under a vague “BOARD HOUSEKEEPING” agenda item.

But the judge and the Court of Appeals later rejected plaintiff Erin O’Connell’s argument for the awarding of attorney fees because the board “effectively cured the prior violation” by discussing and voting on the MOU at a subsequent public meeting.

Project 2025’s Plan to Eliminate Public Schools Has Started | TIME

Concerned about shrinking enrollments and budget crises, district leaders conclude that they must close schools, often without any evidence or analysis that it would save money—and, indeed, it hasn’t been shown to save money unless coupled with mass layoffs. They hire consultants who come up with “utilization” rates and then recommend closing schools with the lowest rates to “rightsize” the district—their euphemism for their misguided belief that school facility usage should be guided by arbitrary numbers instead of meeting communities where they are.
