Weld Re-8 Board of Education President Susan Browne took fellow board member Cody LeBlanc off his assignment as the board’s representative to the Colorado Association of School Boards. She announced her decision during an Aug. 25 meeting. The issue centered around LeBlanc’s town hall meeting that he called shortly after the seven board members discussed holding their own town hall later this school year. Browne called that action “inappropriate.” She also mentioned LeBlanc’s discussions with the press about the Fort Lupton High School football program earlier in the spring “before (Superintendent) Alan Kaylor could meet with the press.”“Once again, you have gone out as one man” she addressed LeBlanc. “We’re supposed to appear as a team. We’re supposed to work as a team. An individual has no right to speak for the board unless he’s authorized.”LeBlanchas been critical of CASB and its practices before. “I know it’s not your favorite, that it’s not your favorite organization, that you don’t always believe what they say,” Browne said. “You continue to do things as an individual. I can’t trust that you’re going to go on our behalf. You don’t believe CASB, and I don’t think you’re going to speak for the seven of us.” assignmentfromLeBlancpullsCASB

It’s only a four-mile difference but Platte Valley Medical center staff said they hope their new Medical Clinic will mean big things for Brighton community’s health. “I know it sounds weird for someone from the hospital to stand up here and tell you that we want to keep people out of the hospital, but that’s the goal with these clinics and our outreach efforts into the community,” Platte Valley President Jaime Campbell said Aug. 23 at the ribbon cutting and grand opening of the hospitals newest Medical Group Clinic. “By keeping the community healthier, it helps all of us. So whether you need this location for a flu shot or for a regular screening or an annual checkup, whatever you need this clinic for it is here to serve you. And it’s here to serve you where you live and work, and that’s very important for us at Platte

It’s getting to be old hat for 27J Schools and city offi cials. They – and others – turned out on Aug. 26 for the second groundbreaking for 27J Schools’ STEM and CTE Center. This one was at Prairie View High School. A voter-approved $515 million bond package made the STEM centers possible at Brighton, Riverdale Ridge and Prairie View high schools. Offi cials think the project at PVHS will be fi nished by the time school begins in 2023. The 50,000-square-foot center will include classes in construction, sports medicine and personal training, certifi ed seniorpost-secondaryservicesfiwillChrisbecauseYou’recomemissioneryou,”moreMayortheywithwillit,”terestedwillthePresidenttosuccess,”servicemath.”fromcouldwithgraduatemanCommerceandtionBiomed,assistant/phlebotomy/EKG,nursingaculinarylab,informa-technologyandphotographygraphicdesign.Whenhewasinhighschool,CityMayorBenHuse-saidhehadenoughcreditstoearly.“So,IloadedupmyscheduleanytechnicaleducationIfind,”hesaid.“ItkeptmedoingboringthingslikeHusemanretiredfrommilitaryeightyearsago.“ThecoursesItooksetmeupforhesaid.“Theysetmeupprovideformyfamily.”27JSchoolsBoardofEducationGregPiotraschkesaidSTEMCenteratPrairieViewaccommodate350students.“Wecanbetterservestudentsin-inearningcollegecred-hesaid.“Theseopportunitiesbenefitourlocalbusinesses.”“Thiswillprovidestudentshands-ontrainingforwhenleavehighschool,”BrightonGregMillssaid.“Thisiscriticalthanever.““Thisisaboutyou.ThisisforsaidAdamsCountyCom-SteveO’Dorisio.“Wel-totheworldofadulting.goingtodogreatthingsofthiscenter.”27JSchoolsSuperintendentFiedlersaidtheprogramsenablestudentstoeitherndjobs,enlistinthearmedorheadtosomeformofeducation.PVHSJoeyContreraswon’tbe able to take advantage of the new programs.

The need for life insurance is pretty straightforward: If something were to happen to you, would your family be able to continue their same lifestyle? Would the mortgage still be paid? Would your children still be able to further their education?
Permanent insurance is more expensive, but it offers you a chance to build up cash value.
The answer depends on a variety of factors, including your income, number of dependents, size of mortgage and so on. Knowing how much coverage you require is important, but you should also evaluate what type of insurance is right for you. Term insurance provides you with a death benefit, and premiums are generally affordable.
“Don’t let anyone convince you that the education you receive here is less important than what you receive in the other building,” Huseman said. “You owe it to yourself to take advantage of the opportunities this center is going to provide.”
Adams County Human Services provided 426 low-income Adams County Families with school supplies at a July 30 Back-to-School Bash“Withevent.school supplies costing about $864 per student this year, it’s critical to have these types of events to help our families; it was a really joyful occasion for them,” said Adams County Commissioner Lynn Baca, Chair. “This year’s event was so busy, and it was great to see so many volunteers from the community.”Morethan1,000 children came to the Humans Services offices at 11860 N Pecos St. in Westminster and received backpacks they could fill with notebooks, binders, folders, sanitizing wipes, pencil boxes, pencil boxes, pens, dry erase markers, hoodies and socks.

The medical group has a similar clinic in Commerce City — the Reunion Family Medicine Clinic at 10569 Chambers Road — and a walk-in clinic at 1450 Dexter St. in Fort Lupton. A new Fort Lupton Medical Group clinic similar to the new Brighton clinic is on track to open early in 2023 at the Dexter St. location.PlatteValley’s OB/GYN clinics, cancer treatment clinics and radiology departments will continue to be located at the hospital’s main campus at 1600 Prairie Center Parkway.“Theteam here will play an important part of guiding the health of our communities so that is why we are constantly expanding our clinics and offering more care for our patients,” Kalikstein said. “It’s really to make sure you have good access to care. With expanded staff and new clinic space will make that access even easier.”

“It’s to gauge people’s feelings,” he said. “At this point, I don’t have time to meet with 17 other people. We haven’t scheduled a date for our townBoardhall.”member Jaime Sierra wasn’t aware of LeBlanc’s meeting.
“He held a town hall meeting with the other six of us after we had a meeting to talk about having a workshop with all seven of us,” Browne responded. “It feels like he’s secretly doing things behind our backs.”
“We just had a workshop where we talked about hosting a community event, and then you host your own.” LeBlanc said he wasn’t trying to be a rogue member on the board.
Boris Kalikstein, vice president of Front Range operations for SCL Health, said it would have room for up to 12 medical professionals and support staff. “We actually have a lot of room to grow,” Kalikstein said. “This will become a 12 provider practice, a mix of family medicine and internal medicine.”
LeBlanc said his re-election committee paid for his town hall meeting. “So technically, I wasn’t in an official capacity as a school board member,” he said. “I wanted to host a town hall to talk with constituents. It’s no different from a city council. It’s less than a year before my re-election. The only way the community hears from us is in these meetings. I thought it was the best opportunity. The campaign thought it was best. That’s why we didBrowneit.” said the board needs to act with one voice. “We need to do things together as a board,” she said. “The county commissioners do this,” LeBlanc said. “They do not seat seven people on a board,” Browne said. “They don’t do individual things.” “Yes, they do,” LeBlanc said. Board member Michelle Bettger understood LeBlanc’s desire to meet with his “Maybeconstituents.thethingto have done is not put it out there as ‘Director Cody LeBlanc,’” she suggested.
The new 13,269 square-foot facility has 30 exam rooms, and three procedure rooms as full lab services on site. It’s part of SCL Health’s effort to move day-to-day medical care away from the Brighton hospital.
