PUEBLO COUNTY — On Monday, the Pueblo School District 60 Board voted 3-2 to deny Chavez-Huerta's request to be released from its exclusive charter agreement with the school district.

Now the charter school cannot seek out to charter with the state's Charter School Institute until the agreement with District 60 has been fulfilled, which is slated for June 30.

The vote came after months of negotiation between the district and the charter school. In light of the denial, the charter school has been appealing to the Colorado Department of Education, which will have a decision at some point in May.
