Regular Board Meeting - November 4, 2026

The Colorado Springs School District 11 Board of Education held its regular meeting on November 4, 2026. The superintendent reported that unofficial election results showed the district’s bond measure had passed; the meeting cited planned improvements at Buena Vista Elementary, including accessible and supervised restrooms, a more secure entrance, and additional instructional space. The district said it would develop next steps for bond oversight and funding, with further discussion planned for December. No total bond amount or project contract awards were stated. The board also discussed whether to adjust the mill levy override for inflation; a director requested analysis of alternatives, and the administration agreed to bring financial modeling back before a December decision.

The administration presented recommended instructional materials for middle-school science and comprehensive health and high-school biology, including products from Activate Learning, Goodheart-Wilcox, and Savvas/Miller & Levine. The presentation described a five-year middle-school science adoption and a six-year digital subscription for health materials, but the board did not take an adoption vote at this meeting; health materials prompted discussion about age appropriateness, parental notice, and opt-out options. Other board actions included approving the school performance framework ratings, adopting policy actions, and recognizing Education Support Professionals Week. No specific procurement amounts or vendor contract awards were approved.
