DENVER - Today, Governor Polis issued an Executive Order to cut red tape and make government more efficient, rescinding prior Executive Orders that created the Governor’s Education Leadership Council. The Council has successfully fulfilled its mission and will be integrated into the Polis administration’s broader work to provide high-quality education to all Coloradans.

“Over the past six years, the Council has met its original purpose and fulfilled its requirement to provide a report on its activities and recommendations to the Governor, General Assembly, State Board of Education, and Colorado Commission on Higher Education. While the Council is no longer necessary, its work will continue on through other groups, as Colorado maintains its focus on improving the State’s educational system and preparing the next generation workforce,” the Governor’s Executive Order reads.
