Dozens of new EV models from all the major car manufacturers are expected to hit the market in the next year or two. Some have lowered prices as batteries get cheaper or companies want to get under the price caps to qualify for tax credits.

After the 6-minute meeting was adjourned, several members of the public presented Snowberger with a welcome kit, with remaining board members Booth and Olsen saying they are excited to have the new superintendent lead the school district in the right direction.

Snowberger is taking the seat that had been held by interim superintendent Dr. William Dallas, who replaced Douglas Bissonette, who stepped down in 2022 after accepting the job of area superintendent at St. Vrain Valley School District in Longmont.
