El Paso County School District 49 is a recurring district-level institution in the repo where newly retained direct 2018 and 2025 to 2026 board records intersect with earlier fights over SEL, religious symbolism, gender-policy litigation, and the Riverstone / ERBOCES funding dispute.
In this repository, D49 matters both as a real public-school district and as one of the Colorado school-governance sites where culture-war politics, board-election conflict, and legal disputes became visible through public meetings. The current official record layer no longer starts only in 2025: the repo now also has direct 2018-07-12 D49 minutes and a revised packet preserving the Tagg conflict-disclosure text tied to Brad Miller and Miller Farmer Law. The later board-material batch adds the 2025 to 2026 governance sequence showing routine district operations alongside policy flashpoints. The earlier reporting layer adds the sharper conflict history around SEL, anti-trans rhetoric, religious-display resolutions, board-election fights, and the district's role in the later Riverstone funding sequence.
