The Colorado Department of Education and School District 49 have agreed to conduct third-party audits of two controversial education groups. The first audit will focus on Education reEnvisioned Board of Cooperative Educational Services (ERBOCES), a Monument-based group that recently dissolved. ERBOCES had gained significant traction in publicly funded homeschool enrichment programs and had even attempted to establish a short-lived "public Christian school."
The second audit will examine Colorado Homeschool Enrichment, a network of homeschool enrichment campuses using state funding to subsidize private schools and provide students with various extracurricular activities. ERBOCES, which oversaw the funds, has come under scrutiny for allegedly pushing the boundaries of state law and potentially breaching it.
The audits, to be paid for with remaining ERBOCES reserves, aim to clarify the current financial state of the group and ensure compliance with regulations.
