Colorado State Board of Education

Rulemaking Hearing Testimony

The Colorado State Board of Education meetings are broadcast on YouTube. Members of the public may watch via the YouTube stream.  

In November, the board will conduct three rulemaking hearings to eliminate obsolete rules. If you would like to provide testimony, we would encourage you to provide it in writing to the board prior to the meeting. All written testimony  may be submitted to the state board via email at state.board@cde.state.co.us. The board is also accepting three-minute video testimony. If you wish to testify remotely, please register by 10:00 A.M. on Tuesday, November 10, 2020 (although day-of testimony will be accepted). Email state.board@cde.state.co.us with the following information:

1. Your name. Use the same name when logging in to testify.
2. Name of group or organization you represent (if applicable).
3. Agenda item or rule number (available here).
4. Whether you support or oppose the rule.
5. Written summary as backup is encouraged.

Once you have registered to testify, an email will be sent with the meeting link. This link should not be shared and will only be valid for the rulemaking portion of the meeting.  You will be called upon during the rulemaking hearing to provide your testimony and will be given three minutes on the agenda. Please note that if you run long or speak/make noise at other times, you will be muted and possibly removed from the meeting.
