Colorado State Board of Education

Rulemaking Hearing Testimony

The August, 2021, Colorado State Board of Education meeting will be held in-person and will also be broadcast on YouTube. Members of the public may attend the meeting or watch via the YouTube stream. While the board is meeting in-person, you may participate by submitting written testimony in advance, by coming to testify in person, or by arranging to testify remotely.  Accordingly, the board particularly encourages the submission of written testimony in advance of the rulemaking hearing. Written comments to the rules may be sent to state.board@cde.state.co.us.  To provide remote testimony during the rulemaking hearing, you will need to register in advance. Please contact state.board@cde.state.co.us to register. More information may be found at https://www.cde.state.co.us/cdeboard. The suggested deadline for written comments is Monday, August 9th at 5:00 p.m. to allow adequate time for staff to review and incorporate comments into the rules.  However, we will accept written comments at any time up to and including the day of the hearing.

When you submit written testimony, please include the following information:

1. Your name
2. The name of the group or organization you represent (if applicable).
3. The agenda item or rule number (available here)
4. Whether you support or oppose the rule changes

Please Note: If you wish to provide public comment, please see the guidelines under "quick links" below. Public comment guidelines are different than the guidelines for rulemaking testimony.
