On Tuesday, June 29, 2021, the Colorado State Board of Education sent a letter to Governor Polis encourages "encourage little-to-no state-level regulation of in-person learning next year." It goes on to read, "The experience gained during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as in previous years of experience mitigating influenza and other infectious disease outbreaks, have taught superintendents and their staff what strategies work best in their communities. During the upcoming 2021-22 school year, superintendents and local boards must have the authority to make decisions in support of unrestricted in-person learning."
