Teachers, parents and activists implored the State Board of Education to consider reinstating LGBTQ+ references in the social studies standards during a Wednesday board meeting in Colorado Springs
The board’s regular meeting room in Denver is being renovated to include, among other things, extra space for two additional board members who will be elected in November, bringing the total number of state board members to nine, according to Education Commissioner Katy Anthes.
The meeting included recognition of Colorado Springs School District 11’s 150th anniversary, a discussion on literacy training for K-12 teachers, and a 6-1 vote to reinstate Adams School District 14’s accreditation, which the board voted to revoke in May.
