Overview
- The transgender policy was presented for a first reading and drew no vote, and the charter extension plan had not received a vote as of late Tuesday night.
- The draft 'Preserving Fairness and Safety in Sports' policy would base eligibility on sex at birth and bar transgender students from competing on girls teams, using corresponding locker rooms, or sharing hotel rooms.
- A separate resolution would let eligible high-performing charter schools seek 10-year contracts instead of the current five-year cycle, with some directors and residents warning it would lessen oversight of public funds.
- Public comment stretched the meeting behind schedule, with many speakers opposing the charter extension and others divided over student safety and inclusion in athletics.
- The sports proposal mirrors District 49's policy and cites President Donald Trump's executive order, as CHSAA defers eligibility to local districts and related litigation proceeds elsewhere in Colorado.
