Summary :
|
Mike Peterson announced that he was resigning his position as a School Board Director of District B during a special meeting of the District’s Board of Education held on November 30, 2023 and subsequently submitted a written notice of his resignation on December 1, 2023. Colorado law provides that a School Board Director’s office shall be deemed vacant “[i]f the person who was duly elected or appointed submits a written resignation to the board of education and such resignation has been duly accepted by the board of education . . . .” C.R.S. § 22-31-129(1)(c). A Board Director’s written resignation does not create a vacancy in that Director’s office until the written resignation has been formally accepted by the Board. The Board will consider acceptance of Mike Peterson's resignation at a Special Meeting of the Board set for December 12, 2023 at 4:30 p.m. Pursuant to Colorado law, C.R.S. § 22-31-129(2), it is the responsibility of the Board of Education to declare a vacancy in the District B office and to appoint a successor to Mr. Peterson. Board File Policy BBBE states that, “[n]o later than the next regularly scheduled Board meeting following the event causing a vacancy on the Board, the meeting agenda shall include a resolution officially declaring the vacancy and setting forth the process and timeline for filling the vacancy.” This draft resolution is included on this agenda to declare the vacancy and set the process and timeline for filling the vacancy consistent with the requirements of Colorado law and Board File Policy BBBE.
