This source cluster now does more than verify Brad Miller's identity and a broad education-law footprint. It materially tightens the practice-name chronology through Colorado SOS filings, upgrades parts of the district-client map with direct records from Montezuma-Cortez, Montrose, ERBOCES, and Pueblo County District 70, and narrows the D49 sports-litigation question into a reviewable split between official complaint records and reporting-backed drafting or organizing activity.
The cluster combines the original identity-and-primary-doc pass with a second targeted records-and-docket batch. The first layer preserved the current Miller Farmer site, the Leadership Program of the Rockies alumni page, the 2012 Chalkbeat commentary, CSI minutes, the 2017 SLAM brief, the Logan Ruths rescission letter, the Doral / Academica proposal, the 2019 charter-appeal service document, the 2026 ERBOCES / Riverstone complaint, and the already summarized D20 engagement-letter record. The second layer adds official Colorado SOS filings, official D49 portal search results, the filed D49 / CHSAA complaint, official ERBOCES check registers, official Montezuma-Cortez minutes, official Montrose engagement and RFP records, and official Pueblo County District 70 minute captures.
