A Colorado school board violated the state's open meetings law by concealing the true nature of a "public Christian school" the board allowed to open last year, a state judge ruled Tuesday. Judge Michelle Chostner found violations related to the appointment of Susie Carnes to the Pueblo 70 school board and the agreement for the school's launch.
Chostner invalidated the February appointment of Carnes and the June 2025 agreement that allowed Riverstone Academy to open, potentially invalidating around $300,000 in public funding. The Pueblo 70 school board must also pay the plaintiffs' attorney fees.
