This source cluster preserves the January 2026 Weld RE-4 board-record sequence around American Legacy Academy and the Colorado Charter School Institute.
The records support a compact legal-advice-to-public-action pathway. On January 8, 2026, Weld RE-4 noticed and held an executive session for legal advice on American Legacy Academy's potential release to submit a conversion application to CSI and related charter-contract negotiations. On January 12, 2026, the regular-meeting agenda named a resolution approving ALA's transfer to CSI, and the minutes record a unanimous amended resolution and unanimous main vote.
The May 26, 2026 frontier pass adds CSI-side records. CSI's April 21, 2026 minutes record unanimous approval of American Legacy Academy's transfer application for a four-year term with standard contract conditions and milestones. CSI's May 19, 2026 agenda then places American Legacy Academy Transfer Contract, Resolution 26-05-05, on the consent agenda.
This is useful because it turns CSI from a background authorizer into a concrete governance mechanism: local district release, CSI transfer-application approval, and a later transfer-contract agenda item now appear in official board records. It does not prove May 19 final action, executed contract terms, outside sponsorship, improper conduct, or post-transfer flows.
