This cluster compiles the first ERBOCES official-source layer in the repository plus a 2026-04-19 follow-up focused on governance, membership, RFP/HSE records, and source conflicts. It covers ERBOCES self-description, CDE SchoolView and financial-profile excerpts, current program directories, financial transparency postings, board materials, D49 board-portal records, tax/registry records, and retained legal records.
The strongest official facts from this pass are that CDE identifies Education reEnvisioned BOCES as organization code 9170; Colorado Secretary of State records identify ERBOCES as entity ID 20131351858, originally incorporated as Colorado Digital Board of Cooperative Education Services; CDE's 2025 performance-framework view lists 10 schools under the organization; a recovered 2018 signed Colorado Digital BOCES constitution/bylaws gives historical governance terms; ERBOCES' own site, current RFP, board packets, and D49 annual updates describe a large school and program portfolio; ERBOCES' FY 2024-25 audit and FY 2025-26 revised budget show a large program-revenue and contracted-services footprint; and a newly retained CDE October 2025 letter plus verified federal complaint text now ground the Riverstone funding dispute more directly.
1020 access-status artifact for the older May 3, 2022 board packet handler.CDE lists Education reEnvisioned BOCES as organization code 9170. The CDE 2025 performance-framework view gives ERBOCES a 2025 rating of Accredited with Improvement Plan and lists 10 schools, including Riverstone Academy. The CDE FY 2023-24 financial-transparency view shows the same Monument address later visible in ERBOCES financial-transparency material and reports total funding of $58,991,584 for that fiscal year.
Colorado Secretary of State records resolve ERBOCES as entity ID 20131351858, status Good Standing, form Nonprofit Corporation, formation date 2013-06-17, and principal office / registered-agent address 430 Beacon Lite Rd Unit 150, Monument, CO 80132. The retained incorporation filing names the original entity as Colorado Digital Board of Cooperative Education Services, with Colorado Digital BOCES as a dba in the attachment. The retained 2018 amendment changes the entity name to Education reEnvisioned BOCES.
The SOS Nonprofit Corporation form is a Colorado business-registry field. It should not be treated as an IRS determination or Form 990 finding.
The official ERBOCES about page captured in this pass identifies Ken Witt as executive director and lists additional staff roles including finance, human resources, special education, special programs, assessment, part-time programs, and data analysis. The FY 2024-25 audit separately identifies administrative officials including Ken Witt, Amanda Wittman, Suzanne Romero, and Trevor Miller.
The financial-transparency home page names Annette Ridgway as Chief of Finance and Accounting and the audit page directs audit questions to Ridgway. The about page and audit identify Amanda Wittman in finance leadership. The August 2025 board packet narrows the conflict by saying Ridgway resigned as CFO and Amanda Wittman was newly contracted as CFO. Treat the remaining issue as a dated finance-contact / finance-delegation question until a current board-approved staff roster, delegation record, or organization chart is retained.
The recovered 2018 signed constitution/bylaws are the strongest retained agreement-like record found in this follow-up, but they still name Colorado Digital BOCES and should be treated as historical unless a later source confirms they remain operative as amended. The OCR indicates organization under C.R.S. section 22-5-101 et seq.; describes the BOCES as separate from member districts; lists Falcon School District 49 and Pikes Peak Community College in that signed document; provides for additional members; and describes member-board or IHE appointment of BOCES board representatives plus one to four at-large members.
D49's May 9, 2013 packet and minutes show Falcon 49 ratifying the Colorado Digital BOCES constitution and bylaws after earlier Falcon 49 and Yuma resolutions and a March 27, 2013 organizational meeting. An older ERBOCES homepage states that the entity was created in 2013 by Yuma and D49, originally as Colorado Digital BOCES, and was renamed Education reEnvisioned BOCES in 2018 after adding new member districts and expanding its focus.
ERBOCES current board pages do not render a single consistent roster across captured paths. The /boardofdirectors capture lists Lis Richard, Bethany Drosendahl, Cynthia Krutsinger, James Salazar, Ken Witt as superintendent, and Lori Thompson. The /board-of-directors capture presents a different caption with John Graham, Bethany Drosendahl, Lis Richard, and Chelsy Harris. The FY 2024-25 audit lists Lis Richard, Bethany Drosendahl, Cynthia Krutsinger, John Graham, and James Salazar as board members or officers for the audited year.
Partial appointment records now add more dated layers. D49's August 2022 item appoints John Graham as D49's sole ERBOCES board designee. The June 2023 ERBOCES minutes appoint Bethany Drosendahl as an at-large board member and authorize operating agreements with several HSE providers. The newly retained November 2021 ERBOCES packet/minutes show Montezuma-Cortez admission and Lis Richard's appointment as that district's ERBOCES representative. The May 2025 packet includes Pikes Peak State College's Cynthia Krutsinger appointment context. The February 10, 2026 board-minutes extract supplies a later dated action layer: the board approved Elizabeth School District's admission to ERBOCES membership, recorded Elizabeth appointing Lis Richard as its board representative, added the swearing-in of Lori Thompson to the agenda, entered executive session for legal advice on BOCES law and membership requirements, and then voted to terminate Montezuma-Cortez School District's membership for non-engagement. This still does not produce a full current roster, but it narrows the conflict into dated official layers.
The current board-policies page says ERBOCES relies on D49 board policies when ERBOCES has no specific policy. The same page includes boilerplate about parents and patrons electing five citizen directors and hiring chief officers. That boilerplate conflicts with the bylaws, current board-member pages, audit, and minutes, so it should be treated as a policy-page source-quality issue rather than as settled governance.
The April 14, 2026 agenda includes homeschool-enrichment program application approvals and an executive-session item for legal advice about ongoing Riverstone Academy litigation. That agenda supports the existence of current governance actions and legal-risk handling, not the merits of any underlying dispute.
The 2018 signed bylaws list Falcon School District 49 and Pikes Peak Community College as members in that historical document. The old homepage says ERBOCES had three member districts and one member institute of higher education at that source layer after the 2018 expansion. The Colorado BOCES Association directory lists ERBOCES member participation as Falcon 49 and Pikes Peak Community College. The 2024 Colorado Supreme Court opinion describes ERBOCES members at the time of the D11 dispute as Falcon 49, Creede Consolidated 1, Durango 9-R, and Pikes Peak Community College. The February 10, 2026 minutes support later Elizabeth School District admission and Montezuma-Cortez termination actions.
Those differences are now best treated as time-specific membership layers rather than as a single unresolved contradiction. A definitive current member list still requires the current BOCES agreement, member admission/withdrawal records, and board appointment records.
ERBOCES' current school/program pages list brick-and-mortar schools, online schools, and homeschool-enrichment programs. The current brick-and-mortar page lists Ascend College Prep, Pueblo Classical Academy, and Riverstone Academy Pueblo. The current online-school page exposes Colorado Connections Academy, Colorado Preparatory Academy, Pikes Peak Online School, Williamsburg Academy of Colorado, and closed Mountain View Virtual School / Rocky Mountain Digital Academy entries. The HSE page exposes multiple named homeschool-enrichment program slugs, including Alpine International Preparatory Academy, Colorado Agribusiness and Equine Sciences Academy, Colorado Homeschool Enrichment, Crossroads School, Falcon AeroLab, FBR Foundations, Front Range Construction Academy, Haven School, Havern School, Heartseed Wildschooling, La Luz, Pikes Peak Academy, Real Red Riding Hoods Forest School, Renaissance Innovation Academy, and Summit Homeschool Academy.
The CDE 2025 performance-framework view lists 10 CDE school records under ERBOCES. The FY 2024-25 audit lists a broader program set than the public website pages captured in this pass. The current RFP frames ERBOCES as seeking, authorizing, and overseeing a portfolio of schools, with specific emphasis on contract schools and homeschool-enrichment proposals. D49 annual updates provide separate operating snapshots: 2023 described two brick-and-mortar schools, six online schools, and 24 HSE programs; 2024 described two brick-and-mortar schools, six multi-district online schools, and 45 HSE programs; and 2025 described four ERBOCES-operated brick-and-mortar schools, six multi-district online schools plus one single-district online school, and 54 HSE programs across about 70 campuses.
The board-packet follow-up adds application-outcome evidence: March, April, and May 2025 packets show passed motions for several HSE applications, and the March 10, 2026 agenda lists additional HSE approval items and a PSAS MDOL school application item. The August 2025 packet says Riverstone Academy met a 25-student authorization milestone and that a signed Riverstone contract was attached, but the signed contract itself was not separately retained.
Those source differences likely reflect different reporting categories, fiscal-year snapshots, application/approval status, and public-page update timing. They should be treated as a portfolio-reconciliation task rather than evidence that any single list is complete.
The current ERBOCES RFP is now retained from the live Finalsite source. It asks applicants whether a proposed site is inside an ERBOCES member district and, if not, to identify the district. It describes application review, board handling, and a funding model in which ERBOCES retains a percentage of PPR before the contract school receives the remainder. This is process evidence, not a provider contract or legal determination.
The older May 3, 2022 board-packet handler still returned 1020 in local capture. Browser extraction surfaced historically relevant text, but the PDF binary was not retained, so that packet remains an access-status lead until separately preserved.
The strongest retained CDE-correspondence reference for special education remains the March 2025 board packet, which says CDE's Exceptional Student Services Unit issued ERBOCES compliance letters for IDEA Indicators 11 and 12. The packet says Indicator 11 for 2023-24 required further activities and Indicator 12 required no further activities. The underlying CDE letters have not been separately retained.
The strongest retained CDE-correspondence source for Riverstone is now CDE's October 10, 2025 letter to ERBOCES and D49. The letter asks for statutory rationale for a district-to-BOCES-to-private-contractor contract-school model, questions Riverstone's funding eligibility under the School Finance Act and State Board rules, and connects the issue to AUD-108 contracted-services assurances. The retained copy is hosted by The 74 rather than a direct CDE URL, so a direct CDE-hosted copy remains a source-quality target.
The public-records follow-up now preserves ERBOCES and CDE CORA routes and translates the packet evidence into narrow request targets for the underlying Indicator 11/12 letters, Riverstone contract attachment, signed HSE/provider agreements, current BOCES agreement, Elizabeth admission packet, and Montezuma-Cortez termination packet. The target note is a request guide, not a substitute for the records themselves.
The FY 2024-25 audit and FY 2025-26 revised budget show ERBOCES as a large financial-throughput entity. The January 2026 revised budget reports total revised sFTE of 9,382.5, program revenue of $102,930,100, contracted educational services of $97,281,100, and total revenue including grants of $109,371,427.
These records support ERBOCES' scale and contracted-services structure, but they do not by themselves establish legal compliance, noncompliance, contractor control, or the tax posture of every related entity.
The ERBOCES website includes a federal Form 990 financial-transparency page, but the retained page text did not expose a direct 990 file. A bounded ProPublica search for Education reEnvisioned BOCES in Colorado returned no direct listing. That no-result is not proof that no EIN or IRS-related record exists under another name; it only bounds the search performed here.
ERBOCES is the central entity for this pass because it combines the general BOCES legal structure with a visible statewide program model, CDE-recognized schools, large financial-transparency records, current board actions, and several litigation or oversight questions already present in the repo.
This official-source cluster narrows the page away from relying primarily on advocacy or secondary reporting. It supports an ERBOCES entity refresh that can distinguish official identity, current records, reported controversy, and unresolved source gaps.
1020, and the RFP itself is only an application/process document.
