District finance staff presented a cash-flow analysis showing months in late fall and winter when the district’s operational cash runs short before property-tax receipts arrive in late winter and spring. The packet and staff presentation proposed authorizing a not-to-exceed amount of $3,954,538 for short-term draws; staff said the typical short-term usage would cover roughly one to three months of operating cash and that the loan must be repaid once property-tax revenue is collected (presentation noted payback by June 2025 in the program structure).

CFO-level staff said the district’s typical monthly cash flow is approximately $1.8 million and that property-tax receipts concentrated in March historically provide the largest inflow. Staff explained the loan is for operating expenses only and cannot be used for capital projects; they also discussed table reserves and the district’s 3% state reserve, noting the program’s cash-flow modeling is intended to preserve required minimum reserves.

Board members asked about program limitations, how draws are requested and repaid, and whether participation could expose the district to risk; staff described the program as interest-free and noted it is commonly used by other Colorado districts. The board voted by roll call to adopt the resolution authorizing participation in the program.

Staff said that, if approved, draws would be requested on specified draw dates each month and that the state treasurer’s office intercepts property-tax receipts to first repay loan amounts; any excess funds after repayment would be returned to the district. District staff said they have previously applied and have worked with RBC on the cash-flow model; they will finalize the logistics and submit draw requests only when a documented cash need exists.

The board’s action authorizes participation; staff will return to the board as necessary if draws occur and to report on the program in routine finance reporting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Woodland Park School District RE-2 Regular Board Meeting 1-29-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Woodland Park School District RE-2 voted to participate in the Colorado State Treasurer’s interest-free short-term loan program, authorizing up to $3,954,538 to cover seasonal cash-flow shortfalls and repaid when property-tax revenue is received.","taxTitle","Woodland Park School District RE-2, School Districts , Colorado","taxId",45829,"location","Colorado","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6361565,"Woodland Park board approves revised 2025 budget, lowers appropriation by roughly $827,000",265,2509000,2774000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2170565-ad85758337795ae3b008e5aa3e923df3&start=2509&end=2774","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2170565-ad85758337795ae3b008e5aa3e923df3/thumbnail_2509000.jpg","/articles/6361565/Colorado/Woodland-Park-board-approves-revised-2025-budget-lowers-appropriation-by-roughly-827000","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6361565-4d1d1f4c322267c27cd6f2b6b7f39799/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149135&Signature=jh6UVEPEUbMv0gCXevqNiDvr0i5sc0E36aIHQrXHGlxOCmIYg-h8qfJqNW0ddNhC~YjnpDca3iQNALZSVSXefDDYMHIysUnBzfuVu-wz5CwzdVDjtlWoaMLLPjGidUgpGOlifFv~xWC5HLi4SrtkDb3CDqOUsv~ZHXuR-Lh~I9~nmDtj6aa5v4Wk6FMgCAFgB-6VdHb15n5D0I4Sxe84FyHtmiB~xMArYmgA0mMVtnZQyL4YuuK6uLlOKPODstEOl4mUdTGLOxzFZ4sJCYdFNtnQry4aSK~l-02FG4GkGVu5hf8UC-vG-Js0a8DGogSsUKRNEQJ7Ij5JyMcYedviQw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Woodland Park School District RE-2 Board of Education approved a revised fiscal-year 2025 budget on Jan. 29, 2025, reducing the district’s total appropriation from the adopted $36,047,790 to a revised $35,219,980, a decrease shown in the packet of approximately $827,810.

The revision follows an updated October count and later state finance updates that raised the per-pupil funding amount from $11,243.12 in the adopted budget to $11,256.13 in the updated projection. Board discussion and the superintendent’s presentation explained that the district’s funded-student count used in the revised appropriation was 1,691.5 (including the charter) compared with the 1,964.2 budgeted earlier this year; the packet notes the district uses a five-year average for state funding calculations.

CFO-level staff presented the changes and highlighted that the district’s revised appropriation reduces overall program funding and that the specific-budget resolution included in the packet was not expected to be used this year; board members asked clarifying questions about beginning-fund-balance usage and were told the revision approves not spending the beginning fund balance in the current year.

Board members voted to adopt the revised appropriation resolution and the associated budget resolution; roll-call votes were recorded and the motions passed.

Key figures presented to the board in the meeting packet and discussion:
- Adopted budget (original): $36,047,790
- Revised appropriation: $35,219,980
- Approximate reduction: $827,810
- Per-pupil funding updated to: $11,256.13 (from $11,243.12)
- Funded-student count used in current calculations: 1,691.5 (compared with 1,964.2 budgeted earlier)

The board asked staff for clarification about unused specific-budget documents and confirmed the district does not plan to spend down the beginning fund balance in fiscal 2025. The budget resolutions passed by roll call during the meeting; staff will proceed with accounting and reporting steps required by the Colorado Department of Education.","The board approved a revised fiscal-year 2025 budget that lowers the district appropriation after updated student counts and state funding adjustments; the board also approved related specific budget resolutions.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6361567,"Woodland Park board adopts resolution saying there are only two sexes after hours of public comment",228,1776000,2004000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2170565-ad85758337795ae3b008e5aa3e923df3&start=1776&end=2004","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2170565-ad85758337795ae3b008e5aa3e923df3/thumbnail_1776000.jpg","/articles/6361567/Colorado/Woodland-Park-board-adopts-resolution-saying-there-are-only-two-sexes-after-hours-of-public-comment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6361567-42992eedc366b4f8528dbaf15157d004/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149135&Signature=KSWz-ACZPNgyPeot6FYG8fMGmVfvQTSXt~mlY3bwaY8BD8kIJllP032YdMkzaOMfnYARGmDTmpbjp9jpGtb2mah~GEva~KP2-pUikZkDbDwQA5q-AnNXk5wY~PMmE277bq5xGrPSKfQ2vp2pucM6~reBEBu8Dalf2sKxld4lmuXOgUK9Tt6IVksXiIFbdXgW3rP931pudMtC5r5cog~V25r9qu~fTOD7YVGyKrdey~iME1jAPTlnnKAr3Pw8ZCsQhLi1HPrh3QIJzxeoY22On-rSEilSdHGaigTrtTE5Z8raZeCvduWPqvqNOfkJnDupw1VkafFRIJ9QJb0WXxQFig__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Woodland Park School District RE-2 Board of Education voted to adopt a resolution on Jan. 29, 2025, stating that there are only two biological sexes, directing the superintendent to update administrative policies and facility-use guidelines, and saying the district will separate restrooms and locker rooms by male and female where consistent with law.

The resolution drew more than a dozen public comments before the vote, with parents and community members both urging the board to adopt the measure and urging the board to delay it. Supporters said the measure preserves what they described as “biological reality”; opponents called the resolution harmful to LGBTQIA+ students and urged the board to focus on safety and services for all students.

The resolution text cites local control under the Colorado Constitution and references a Jan. 20, 2025, federal executive order described in the package; it directs the superintendent to “update any relevant administrative policy, procedures, and facility agreements, and usage guidelines to be consistent with the knowledge that there are only 2 sexes, male and female,” and states it takes effect immediately.

Public commenters opposing the resolution included Rachel Norvell, who told the board that declaring two sexes “not only [is] scientifically inaccurate, but also deeply harmful to the LGBTQIA+ students,” and Nicole Brockley, a parent who said she appreciated the resolution’s federal alignment but urged “implementing this resolution while at the same time paying attention and being concerned for those people who might be worried.” Amy Wolin, identifying herself as a longtime resident, asked the board to table the resolution for “further information and discretion,” saying “this is an opinion being made into a resolution and probably ultimately a policy. It's not based on any facts.”

Eric Lachman spoke in favor of the resolution, saying it “is not about denying anyone's identity or experiences, but about upholding the biological reality that has existed for centuries.” Several commenters cited national surveys and school-climate data when describing possible mental-health impacts of exclusionary policies.

On the dais, board discussion ranged from remarks invoking “science” and the presence of a Y chromosome as determinative to cautions that the district must act “within the constraints of law.” At the conclusion of discussion, a motion to adopt the resolution was moved and seconded and the board recorded a roll-call vote; the motion carried and the resolution was adopted effective immediately.

The board packet and text of the resolution reference the Jan. 20, 2025, executive order described in the meeting, the district’s status under Colorado law, and Colorado Constitution Article IX, Section 15, cited in the resolution as background for asserting local control over instruction. Several speakers and at least one board member noted potential conflicts between the resolution’s directives and existing state law on restroom access, and cautioned the board about legal exposure.

The board did not take additional, specific policy motions (for example, immediate reconfiguration of facilities) during the meeting; the resolution directs the superintendent to update administrative policy and facility agreements as necessary.

The item capped a public-comment period in which residents also raised other concerns — including building maintenance, alleged delayed repairs at Columbine Elementary trailers, and declining enrollment — but the board limited discussion and proceeded to the vote.

The full resolution text and supporting materials are in the district meeting packet; the resolution states it takes effect immediately upon adoption on Jan. 29, 2025.","The Woodland Park School District RE-2 Board of Education unanimously adopted a resolution declaring there are only two biological sexes and directing staff to update policies and facility guidelines; the item drew extensive public comment both for and against.","actionData","errors"]
