D11 Regular Board Meeting - March 4, 2026

The Colorado Springs School District 11 held its regular board meeting on March 4, 2026. The meeting included recognition of student achievements in arts and music, presentations by seniors about their educational experiences and future plans, and updates on district programs and capital projects such as the Mitchell Planetarium reopening and Dougherty's Wilfon Family Field House ribbon cutting. Procurement-related discussions included approval of a $182,850 budget transfer to cover tuition for homeschool students enrolled in the Falcon Arrow Lab program, continuation of medical plan contracts with Kaiser Permanente, One Medical, and Strada Med, and consideration of a charter renewal application for Silver Charter Academy. The board also discussed policy revisions related to instructional materials and class rank GPA policies, with a move to repeal the latter to allow more operational flexibility in graduation ceremonies. Additionally, the board reviewed strategic goals focused on student proficiency, middle school readiness, and graduate planning, with plans for further work sessions. No new contracts or RFPs were announced, but several budget and contract approvals were passed by roll call vote.
