Work Session - October 28, 2026

Colorado Springs School District 11 Board of Education work session, October 28, 2026: The board discussed a draft consolidation of its mission and strategic direction, including student academic growth and achievement, student outcomes, staff investment, resource alignment, and accountability measures. Members considered adding a public dashboard and further language on graduate skills, community values, and expectations for recruiting and retaining qualified staff. The board planned to continue the discussion at a November work session and seek community input before taking action; no final decision on the strategic draft was identified.

The board also reviewed policies in the L series. Members discussed removing outdated or redundant material on relations with other schools and charter-application exhibits, while retaining the charter-schools policy with minor wording revisions. They favored additional review of the student-survey policy, particularly privacy, parental consent, transparency, and reporting, and discussed whether the student-teaching policy should be repealed or handled outside the policy manual. The transcript does not clearly establish final votes on these items. No procurement activity, contract awards, vendor selections, or spending decisions were identified.
