Overview: During a recent Woodland Park RE-2 School Board meeting, concerns were raised about the transparency and legality of the board’s process for selecting a new board member. These concerns, brought forward by a member of the public, Nathan Williams, centered on the board’s private selection process, which allegedly violated the Colorado Open Meetings Law. Williams highlighted the lack of public discourse in eliminating three eligible candidates, including himself, from consideration. He argued that the board’s method of selecting finalists amounted to “serial communication,” circumventing the requirement for public meetings.
