Colorado State Board of Education and Douglas County School District Re-1 v. Judy A. Brannberg and John Dewey…

Summary

The court held that the statutory provision stating that the State Board’s decision is final and not subject to appeal applies to every final decision under the charter-school appeal process, including a decision affirming a local board’s denial after a first appeal. Because the State Board’s first-appeal decision was final, judicial review was barred and the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction. The court reversed the court of appeals and remanded for dismissal of the claim.
