Description:

Update Regarding Case 2025CV030013, Jordan Hedberg v. CC Board of Education
- As we have mentioned at prior board meetings over the past year, we have been involved in litigation with the publisher of a local news publication under the Colorado Open Meetings Law. That publisher filed a lawsuit alleging that this Board violated the Open Meetings Law during an executive session in February 2025. I am very pleased to update the community that the judge in this case recently held that our Board complied with the law related to that executive session. As a result, the board has officially prevailed in that lawsuit. We are so grateful for this result and feel vindicated after a year of allegations of wrongdoing that ultimately turned out to be meritless. As a result of the lawsuit, to date, we have been billed just over $40,000 to defend ourselves.
