These are the main ingredients of a legal conflict brewing in the Pueblo 70 school district, where a divided board has faced months of simmering tension over the district’s role in the opening of a “public Christian school” called Riverstone Academy. There’s no lawsuit yet. But a lawyer representing the three school board candidates who were passed over for the vacant seat has suggested it’s possible. Board President Ann Bennett appointed Susie Carnes, who has links to the group that operates Riverstone, to the open seat in February.In a Tuesday email, attorney Eric Maxfield told Pueblo 70’s lawyer that his clients’ next steps could include “litigation in state district court” over violations of Colorado’s open meetings law. His clients are Jonathan Lewis, Adolph Vigil, and Tara Stroesenreuther.With district superintendent Ronda Rein preparing to retire, the legal outcome of the board seat dispute could mean a shift to a less conservative school board majority and change the direction of the 12,000-student district. In addition to hiring a new superintendent this summer, the board could decide whether to keep or replace the school district’s law firm, which is headed by attorney Brad Miller. Miller has been at the center of controversy in recent months. He helped create Riverstone last summer at the behest of a conservative Arizona-based law firm seeking a test case on the question of public funding for religious schools, emails obtained by Chalkbeat indicate. The Pueblo 70 school board voted to allow Riverstone, which is authorized by a public education co-op, to locate within the district’s boundaries.In an email exchange with Maxfield on Tuesday, Miller pushed back against Maxfield’s assertion that Bennett broke state law by appointing Carnes to the vacant seat. “I am disappointed that you would feign to believe that her appointment was in error,” Miller wrote, according to a copy of the email provided by Maxfield to Chalkbeat. The board seat came open after a former board member, Anne Ochs, resigned in December after a district parent criticized her for hiding key facts about Riverstone’s creation and failing to disclose a conflict of interest. Four candidates applied to fill the vacancy, but the board deadlocked with repeated 2-2 ties at its Feb. 10 meeting. Then Board Vice President AJ Wilson fell ill and was helped out of the room. That left three board members and the possibility that one of the candidates could be appointed in a 2-1 vote. But Bennett, who had sided with Wilson in the vacancy votes, never returned from the 10-minute recess she’d called or adjourned the meeting. Six days later, she announced that she’d appointed Carnes to the vacant seat. Under Colorado law, school board presidents can appoint a new member if the board can’t agree on a candidate after 60 days.Carnes was sworn in by Bennett on Feb. 25, in what Maxfield characterized in his letter as an “unannounced non-public ceremony.” As of last month, Carnes was listed as an elementary teacher at a school run by Forging Education, a Christian group that also runs Riverstone. Her appointment means that three of the five Pueblo 70 school board members — a majority — have had connections to Forging Education.In a 10-page letter sent to the Pueblo 70 school board on March 4, Maxfield alleged that Bennett circumvented Colorado’s open meetings law when she abruptly “fled” that February school board meeting and later made the vacancy appointment “unilaterally.” He argued that Bennett’s sudden departure on Feb. 10 was meant to prevent the public from witnessing the selection of a new board member in an open public meeting that had been noticed in advance. “Notwithstanding the tragic hardship to Vice President Wilson, after his departure the Board maintained quorum, the business was not concluded, and such business was urgent, under a statutory deadline,” Maxfield said.Quorum refers to the minimum number of members needed for a public body to take votes on public business. For a five-member board, quorum requires three board members to be present. Maxfield asked for 11 remedies in his letter, including that the appointment of Carnes be invalidated and that the board re-do the selection process. (Maxfield referred to Carnes as the “Director-in-Error.”) He also asked that an outside lawyer conduct a “comprehensive governance and conflict-of-interest review.” Miller rebuffed those requests in his Tuesday email to Maxfield and said Carnes’ appointment was “properly completed.”.“The political interplay was anything but smooth and I can agree that it always would be optimal if a majority of the remaining directors could agree on an appointee,” Miller wrote. “However, the tie breaking mechanism is clearly set forth in Colorado statute.”Bennett did not respond to Chalkbeat’s request for comment about the alleged violation. It’s not clear when Maxfield’s three clients will decide whether to file a lawsuit over the alleged open meetings violations. Miller indicated in his Tuesday response to Maxfield that he will discuss the matter with the Pueblo 70 school board on March 17 and will follow up with Maxfield afterwards.Maxfield and Miller’s firm have faced off in recent years in other cases about transparency. In February, a Woodland Park mother who is a client of Maxfield emerged victorious after a district court judge ordered the Woodland Park school district to pay her more than $144,000 in legal costs after she successfully showed the district violated the Colorado Open Meetings Law. Miller’s firm represented the school district in that case. Maxfield told Miller in their Tuesday email exchange that if his three clients decide to sue, they’ll “seek payment by the Board of their reasonable attorney fees and costs.” Ann Schimke is a senior reporter at Chalkbeat covering early childhood issues and early literacy.

But Sutton said she’s run into trouble getting Palmer Ridge High School, which is just north of Colorado Springs, to follow her daughter’s 504 plan. She filed grievances with the district, then tried the state — which said it doesn’t enforce federal disabilities accommodation law. She then filed a complaint to the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights. But after that office acknowledged it had received the complaint in December, Sutton hasn’t heard back from the federal government.“My daughter’s approved accommodation still has not been implemented, and the situation at school has become increasingly difficult for my daughter to navigate,” Sutton said. It’s a similar story to what other parents and disability rights advocates shared at Wednesday’s Senate Education Committee hearing, where lawmakers heard Senate Bill 125. The legislation would allow Colorado’s Department of Education to begin hearing complaints tied to 504 plans.The state process created by the bill would expand the Colorado Department of Education’s existing ability to mediate other complaints about alleged violations of students’ Individualized Education Programs, or IEPs. An IEP entitles students to special education services, whereas a 504 plan spells out accommodations that students are entitled to receive in schools.Lawmakers, who approved the bill unanimously Wednesday, said they hope the bill eventually helps parents like Sutton, given the mass firings and shifting priorities at the federal Education Department during the Trump administration. The federal Education Department investigates such complaints through its Office for Civil Rights. But many complaints have gone unresolved in the last year due to staff cuts. At the same time, the Trump administration has launched new state investigations, including one in Denver Public Schools related to East High School’s all-gender restrooms.In light of that lack of progress, Colorado lawmakers are part of a growing number nationwide who want their states to help families find resolutions.In response to questions from Chalkbeat, Rick Frampton, director of student services for Lewis-Palmer School District 38, where Palmer Ridge High School is located, didn’t comment on Sutton’s daughter’s case. But he said in a Wednesday statement that the district provides families information about Section 504 parent and student rights. He said the district follows a structured process and works with families to implement and develop those plans.“Lewis-Palmer School District 38 believes in implementing all 504 plans with integrity and a commitment to ensuring that students with disabilities receive equal access to education,” Frampton said.State Sen. Chris Kolker, a Democrat and bill sponsor, said during the hearing that the bill doesn’t create new requirements for schools.“As the agency shrinks, its ability to respond to complaints and enforce this law shrinks with it,” said Kolker, the chair of the Senate Education Committee, referring to the federal department. “The new reality is that it becomes a new responsibility of the states.”The legislation would codify federal disability laws into Colorado state law. These laws, known as Section 504, provide protections to people with disabilities. These include ensuring public schools make accommodations available to students with disabilities to access school buildings or spaces, and that they can participate in nonacademic and extracurricular activities.The legislation would also create a path for parents, students, or groups to file a complaint to the Colorado Department of Education if schools don’t provide accommodations for students. These grievances would need to be filed within 60 days, with the entire process of resolving a grievance needing to be completed within 180 days. Some exceptions would apply, such as a pause for a voluntary fix of the issue.Disability advocates said although federal law that protects individuals with disabilities still exists, the federal government has left many families in limbo. The bill ensures Colorado can step in, said Emily Harvey, Disability Law Colorado’s co-legal director. “It really is a way for families to seek a remedy without having to take extreme measures of going to court,” Harvey said.Colorado lawmakers also filed House Bill 1141 that would allow the Colorado Civil Rights Division’s to investigate alleged K-12 and higher education violations of Title VI, a section of federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin. That bill passed its first hearing last month in the House Education Committee by a 9-3 vote and will be heard next in the House Appropriations Committee, where lawmakers will discuss the financial impact to the state.Both bills will require state spending if they become law. Lawmakers need to make budget cuts for a second year in a row, which has complicated the odds for new state initiatives and mandates that would require funding. The disabilities bill would require the state to spend about $668,000 in the first year and $581,000 in the years after, according to a legislative analysis. The civil rights enforcement bill would cost the state about $815,000 in its first year and $686,000 in subsequent years. But advocates of the bills have also argued the bills would ultimately save money by reducing the number of lawsuits against schools.Some who testified about the civil rights bill on Wednesday unsuccessfully asked lawmakers to amend it so that the Colorado Civil Rights Division would be allowed to hear complaints. Lawmakers said the new complaint process would fit into the Colorado Department of Education’s current enforcement of disability laws. They added that the bill also wouldn’t stop parents from filing complaints to the civil rights division or the federal Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights.Sutton said a state complaint process would help fix a gap in the system for parents like herself. Her daughter’s health has since gotten worse, and Sutton has had to pull her out of school. “Every month that systems fail to respond is a month of education that cannot be recovered. She is living that reality today,” Sutton said. “That is why a clear state pathway with independent review matters so deeply for families like ours.”Jason Gonzales is a reporter covering higher education and the Colorado legislature.
