Districts also are required to evaluate programs and activities to assess their progress toward those measurable goals. The table that follows summarizes the progress made by each Colorado district toward its measurable goals during the 2006-07 school year. The list of districts reflects only those districts or Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) that received funding. Information for districts that assign their funds to a BOCES is submitted by the BOCES. The name of the district is alphabetized along with the County names. The Proper Context for Reviewing the Table This table should not be interpreted as formal or scientific evaluation results of specific programs or strategies unless otherwise stated. Results primarily reflect progress toward goals, not necessarily outcomes of strategies. Results reported may reflect a time longer than the 2006-2007 school year. Districts utilizing student surveys that measure the prevalence of risk and protective factors and related behaviors may not administer the survey on an annual basis.

  • April 3, 2020 Dear Community Members
    April 3, 2020 Dear Community Members, As many of you know, upon becoming aware of the spread of COVID-19 in Colorado and the myriad concerns inherent, school superintendents took action several weeks ago to protect students, staff and the community. We have been working hard to provide leadership guidance to families throughout Colorado. As school superintendents, we consult and collaborate many times each day to share thinking and to problem solve as a regional group. Two days ago, on April 1, Governor Polis announced extended closures of schools in Colorado through April 30, 2020. Over the past several weeks, we have spoken regularly and often to public health officials and state officials to better understand the timeline and path forward for the year, both with regard to COVID-19 and “traditional” school year expectations. We understand that there are not specific answers to exactly how and when we return to “life as normal” during this unprecedented health crisis. Given that, we must rely upon our best judgement and place safety above all else. What is clear is that there will not be definitive, universal guidance to proceed as normal. Rather, there will be a gradual lifting of restrictions and a step by step return to normalcy. What we do know is that once the “Stay at Home” orders are lifted, we will continue to have restrictions on social distancing and the size of group gatherings for at least several weeks, if not months. Given the nature of a school environment (classrooms, passing periods, buses, playgrounds, etc.), these restrictions are not practical within the school setting.

  • Superintendent Statement on Planned Teacher Actions
    SCHOOL DISTRICT 27J 18551 East 160th Avenue Brighton, CO 80601-3295 Office: (303) 655-2900 Fax: (303) 655-2870 Communications Office April 26, 2018 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For more information contact: Tracy L Rudnick, Public Information Officer School District 27J 303-655-2905 SUPERINTENDENT STATEMENT ON PLANNED TEACHER ACTIONS BRIGHTON, COLO. (April 26, 2018) – Over the past several months, school superintendents across Colorado have been working in partnership with school boards and community groups to call attention to the dire public school funding issues that plague our state. We strongly believe that our students, our communities, and our educators should receive the supports and compensation they deserve. Since April 16, 2018, we have seen teachers and other educators in school districts around the state take action to fight for fair and equitable state funding. Teachers wearing “Red for Ed,” walking into schools together, and rallying at the state capitol are among some of those more visible actions. We are seeing more school districts needing to amend student contact days as teachers take unpaid, personal and annual leave in calling attention to widely shared concerns with regard to school funding in Colorado. As superintendents representing districts that have closed for a day, will be closing for a day, or at some point will see large scale teacher actions occurring in support of increased school funding in Colorado, we would like to offer the following information for your consideration: • Colorado currently ranks 42nd in the nation in per pupil funding. • In Colorado, we fund our students at an average of $2,500 per student less than the national average – not the upper end of the scale - average.

  • 3 De Abril, 2020
    3 de abril, 2020 Estimados miembros de la comunidad, Como ustedes saben, después de estar al tanto de la propagación del COVID-19 en Colorado y de la infinidad de preocupaciones inherentes, hace algunas semanas los superintendentes de las escuelas tomamos acción para proteger a los estudiantes, el personal docente y la comunidad. Hemos estado trabajando arduamente para proporcionar liderazgo a las familias en Colorado. Como superintendentes de las escuelas cada día consultamos y colaboramos para compartir nuestras ideas de cómo resolver los problemas como grupo de la región. Hace dos días, el 1ro de abril, el gobernador Polis anunció la prolongación del cierre de escuelas en Colorado hasta el 30 de abril, 2020. En las últimas semanas, hemos conversado con regularidad y a frecuencia con los oficiales de salud pública y del estado para comprender mejor la trayectoria y dirección para el ciclo escolar en relación al COVID-19 y las expectativas del ciclo escolar “tradicional”. Entendemos que no hay respuestas específicas para saber exactamente cómo y cuándo regresaremos a la “vida normal” durante esta crisis de salud que nunca se había visto. Sabiendo esto, debemos confiar en nuestro mejor juicio y poner la seguridad por encima de todo. Lo que es claro es que no habrá una guía definitiva ni universal para proceder normalmente. Más bien, habrá un levantamiento gradual de las restricciones paso por paso para regresar a la normalidad. Lo que sabemos es que cuando la orden de “quedarse en su hogar” se levante, continuaremos con las restricciones del distanciamiento social y el número de personas que se pueden reunir en un grupo por lo menos por varias semanas, si es que no sean hasta meses.

    April 26, 2021 Jill Hunsaker Ryan Executive Director, CDPHE Sent Via Email Re: School Quarantine Requirements It's time to eliminate mandatory COVID quarantines in Colorado's schools. Messaging from Colorado's public health and elected officials has acknowledged, since before the new year, that rates of COVID transmission within our schools are low; that the mitigation measures we have in place are working; and that in-person schooling is critically important for many students in their social, emotional, and academic development. Similar findings have been made throughout the country, and at this juncture at least 11 states -- Ohio, Utah, Missouri, Texas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Iowa, Wyoming, New Hampshire, North Dakota, and Indiana -- have eliminated prior quarantine rules that resulted in large numbers of students being removed from in-person schooling each time they have a school exposure to a COVID positive individual. Several of these states took these steps before the onset of the new year. In-school COVID transmission remains low in each of these jurisdictions, and none of them has needed to rescind their new response protocols because of a surge in COVID activity. Many of us have been advocating for an end to school quarantine rules since before the spring break period and have heard that rescission of the quarantine rules was premature because of concerns about COVID variants and fears that school transmission would markedly increase as secondary school students moved from hybrid schooling models to more densely occupied classroom environments. More than a dozen Colorado school districts have been collecting data regarding in-school COVID transmission throughout the second semester, and the data show that in-school transmission remains extremely low notwithstanding the presence of COVID variants in our state and even after the transition from hybrid schooling models in mid-March to early April.
