0:00:04I'd like to call to order this regular meeting of the Boulder Valley School District Board of Education for Tuesday, May 19th, 2026. Board members may attend and participate in board meetings by electronic means in accordance with BBSD policy BMEA in state law. Chris, can you please call the role? >> Booker >> here. >> Chavez >> here. >> Medler >> here. Noa >> here. >> Rajp >> here. Timuing >> here. Anger >> here. >> Thank you. Next item on this morning's agenda is the land acknowledgement. I'd like everyone to turn their attention to the screens. The Boulder Valley School District resides and operates on land that is the ancestral homeland and unjustly and illegally taken territory of the Ute, Puebloin, Arapjo, Cheyenne, Apache, Navajo, and 48 other tribal nations historically tied to this land who have called this land home since time and memorial.

0:01:15We acknowledge the atrocities committed here, including the painful history of genocide, forced assimilation, and efforts to alienate the indigenous inhabitants from their homeland, supported by the policies of the United States government. BBSD is aware of the many indigenous peoples, past and present, and their dignified nations and cultures, who care for this land with strength and resilience. BBSD recognizes the histories of the land in Colorado and the survival of many nations that carried their rural traditions into the present. It is BBSD's responsibility to educate ourselves, our community, and our students so that we can embrace the wisdom and knowledge of indigenous peoples and actively stand together to address injustices. In offering this land acknowledgement, we affirm and honor the history, wisdom, oral traditions, and resilience of indigenous people and recognize the responsibility to care for and appreciate this land together.
