4 seats on Colorado’s nine-member State Board of Training are up for election on Nov. 5. The election is unlikely to vary the board majority, which is at the moment held by Democrats, but it surely may slim that majority and alter the board’s dynamics.
The State Board of Training holds colleges and faculty districts accountable for scholar check scores, hears appeals when faculty districts reject constitution faculty purposes, and units requirements for what college students ought to be taught and what colleges ought to train.
One at-large seat on the board represents all the state. The opposite eight seats characterize Colorado’s eight congressional districts. The seats representing Congressional Districts 2, 3, 4, and eight are up for election this 12 months. The opposite seats might be up for election in 2026 or 2028.
Board members are elected for six-year phrases. They don’t earn a wage.
Only one incumbent, Democrat Rhonda Solis, is working for reelection. She represents District 8.
We requested the seven candidates about faculty security, immigrant college students, limiting books at school libraries, what college students ought to find out about well being and science, and extra. Their solutions are precisely how they submitted them; we didn’t edit what they wrote. You’ll be able to view the solutions by candidate or by query.
