This source cluster supports a defensible chronology linking Mike Miles to Colorado Springs through Harrison School District 2, Third Future Schools, Coperni 2 / Coperni 3, and Parents Challenge.
The strongest Parents Challenge finding is bounded: archived board pages show Miles in the Parents Challenge board grid by March 4, 2023 and not in the November 29, 2022 board grid. The evidence does not explain how he joined the board, who recruited him, whether Steve Schuck personally invited him, or what formal vote occurred.
The document-level filing follow-up strengthens the same window: Parents Challenge's 2022 Form 990 does not list Miles in the Part VII officer / trustee rows, while the 2023 Form 990 lists Mike Miles as a trustee at 0.2 hours per week with zero reportable compensation.
