The Ben Franklin Academy (BFA) Board of Directors (Board) generally holds its regular meetings at 5:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of the month at BFA.  Board meetings are open to the public and are conducted in compliance with Colorado Open Meetings Requirements.  All are welcome to attend.  The time and location of all Board meetings are posted on the school website calendar.  If you would like to be proactively notified about all regular and special board meetings, please email BFA’s Board Secretary to be added to our “sunshine” distribution list.

Agendas are posted below 24 hours prior to a meeting.  The Board Calendar serves as a guideline for Board agenda items.  If you would like to appear before the Board, please email the Board President. We’d love to see you at these meetings.

Below you will find the past 4 Academic School Year Agendas.  For previous year, please email us.

Upcoming Board Meeting Agenda

July 29, 2025 Meeting AMENDED AGENDA

Because we recognize that many BFA community members may be unable to attend the Board meetings in person, we will be “broadcasting” our Board meetings by Zoom Webcast.  Links and log in  information will be listed on the top of the agenda for each meeting.

Anyone who wishes to speak during Open Comments must register by noon on the day of the Board meeting. Comments may be made in person or virtually via Zoom (see Zoom Participation Information on each agenda). Please note: the Board no longer reads submitted comments aloud, as was previously done.

Registered speakers have up to three (3) minutes to address the Board. The Board president or presiding chair of the meeting shall have the discretion to adjust the time allotted for public input as may be necessary to allow the Board ample time to discuss its current business.

Please keep all public comment appropriate for a K-12 audience.

 

2025/2026 Board Public Open Comment Registration

The deadline to register for Public Open Comment is by 12:00 p.m. (noon) the day of the regularly scheduled Regular Board Meeting.
