  • 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.

  • Program Overview Funding 2017-18 Program Participation
    COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION PROGRAM OVERVIEW The Career Development Incentive Program, or Career Development Success Pilot Program in House Bill 16-1289, provides financial incentives for school districts and charter schools that encourage high school students, grades 9-12, to complete qualified industry credential programs, internships, residencies, construction pre-apprenticeship or construction apprenticeship programs or qualified Advanced Placement (AP) courses. A list of qualifying programs/courses can be found on the Colorado Workforce Development Council (CWDC) website. This list is developed based on Colorado labor market data, existing secondary programs that correspond with high growth, high demand occupations and business/industry feedback. FUNDING Participating districts or charter schools receive up to $1,000 in incentive funds for each high school student who successfully completes qualified industry credential programs, internships, residencies, construction pre-apprenticeship or construction apprenticeship programs, or qualified AP courses. In its first two years, the program has received requests for completion of nearly 9,000 eligible incentives earned by students and distributed incentives for 3,000 credentials, one-third of the credentials earned. Current funding is $2 million per year, which is an increase from $1 million in 2017. The $3 million of funding over two years has covered one-third of all eligible credentials earned (requests total $9,000,000). We anticipate receiving at least $6 million in requests for 2018-19. The specific dollar amount of each incentive depends on the total number of completed programs in the state and the number and type of completed programs reported by districts. The total funding amount for the 2017-18 school year is $2 million.
