Chalkbeat Colorado: The Adams 14 school district won’t release a set of recommendations on elementary school recess in advance of a school board meeting Tuesday night at which the recommendations will be presented.

District officials said via email last week that the recommendations were finalized on April 26, but declined Chalkbeat’s public records request for them, citing a provision of the Colorado Open Records Act that allows “work product” not to be released.

Last Friday, district spokeswoman Janelle Asmus said once the recommendations were distributed to board members as part of their meeting packets Monday, they would no longer qualify as work product and would become publicly available.

On Monday, she said the committee that drafted the recommendations had decided not to include them in the board packets as she’d expected.

She said Chalkbeat’s request for the recommendations was not the reason.

“They did not feel they had everything complete in order to submit a perfect document,” she said.

Recess has been a hot-button issue in Adams 14 this year, and the content of the recommendations will likely be of interest to many community members.
