Ute Pass BOCES

What Ute Pass BOCES does

Ute Pass BOCES is a Colorado Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) headquartered in Woodland Park, Colorado, that coordinates and delivers shared special education and support services to three member school districts: Woodland Park School District RE-2, Cripple Creek-Victor School District, and Manitou Springs School District 14. Operating across 11 buildings in Teller and El Paso counties, the organization provides special education instruction, autism and behavioral support, gifted and talented programming (including Early Access), assistive technology assessments and equipment loans, and transition services for students with disabilities. Its mission is to act as skill-building advocates providing fair and appropriate access to resources so students can become functionally independent according to their potential.

The organization's technology stack centers on operational and administrative platforms rather than commercial product development. It uses the Enrich IEP System (an online Individualized Education Program management platform hosted at excentcolorado.com) to document and manage IEPs, and the ezEdMed Medicaid billing platform (provided by infoHandler through the Colorado School Medicaid Consortium) to track Medicaid service delivery and reimbursement across member districts, with separate portals for Woodland Park and Cripple Creek-Victor. Assistive technology services integrate with the SWAAAC statewide loan bank and reference Assistive Technology Partners at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus for specialized assessments. The 2025 website refresh added ADA compliance and multi-language support across ten languages.

Ute Pass BOCES is a publicly funded educational cooperative operating under Colorado state law and IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) requirements, governed by a Board of Education with representation from member districts. Funding flows from member district contributions, per-pupil allocations, state and federal special education funding, and Medicaid reimbursement — there is no consumer-facing pricing or commercial revenue model. Leadership includes Director Katie Ueberroth, Finance Director and Treasurer David Kuritar, and Administrative Assistant/Board Secretary Arlene Maloney. The organization is not a venture-backed or PE-relevant entity and operates as a stable service provider with a captive, fixed customer base of three public school districts.
