Colorado Group Behind First Public Christian School to Close

A controversial educational group known as ERBOCES that opened Colorado’s first public Christian school will dissolve after 13 years. The closure follows a school board vote to end the organization.

Key Points

  • ERBOCES established Colorado’s first public Christian school 13 years ago.
  • A school board vote approved the dissolution of the group.
  • The organization combined public education structures with Christian curriculum elements.
