From an Incident Report to Federal Court
A Colorado family came to CPAN through the Incident Reporting Tool. CPAN listened, gathered the facts and connected the family with the Center for American Liberty, which assumed legal representation. The case is now in active federal litigation.

Case study · Accountability
From Concern to Federal Investigation
Teachers, parents, students and community members brought concerns to CPAN. Through public-records requests, research and documentation, CPAN built a factual record and filed two federal Title VI civil-rights complaints. In June 2026, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights opened both for investigation.

Problem
Many parents didn’t know how to request records or what notice schools owe.
Action
CPAN ran evening sessions across Colorado, in person and online.
Output
Sessions, plain‑language guides and a records‑request template.
Result
Parents left able to request records and prepare for school meetings on their own.
“CPAN helped us understand what to ask for and how to ask for it. For the first time, we felt like the school was listening to us.”
