KOAA News5: The Woodland Park School District (WPSD) has filed a lawsuit against the City of Woodland Park, claiming the city council violated state law during a March council meeting.

In the lawsuit filed on March 18, an attorney for the school district said Woodland Park city council members did not follow Colorado’s Open Meetings Law before going into an executive session at the beginning of a March 10 council meeting. This is the same meeting in which council members voted unanimously to repeal a city sales tax that sends millions in funding to local schools.

The lawsuit alleges council members did not provide enough detail about the topic of the executive session. During the meeting, the city council said the executive session was to get legal advice from the city attorney relative to matters that may be subject to negotiations.
