Sarah Klaiber, an elementary school teacher who has taught in the Denver metro area for nine years, said the career has always come with challenges: kids with behavioral issues, communicating with parents and working in a highstress environment for relatively low pay. Klaiber felt equipped to deal with those challenges, but things reached a breaking point when COVID-19 hit in 2020.
After a year of teaching almost entirely online, Klaiber said students struggled to return to the traditional classroom, where they were expected to sit still, not speak out of turn and pay attention for eight“They’vehours.lost a level of autonomy that they had when they were at home,” Klaiber said. “The fact that we expect 8 year olds to sit and be silent for most of the day is starting to feel unfair to them.”Madi Shaheen, a former teacher in the Denver area, echoed Klaiber’s concerns and said the blame for kids not performing well in a pandemic-riddled classroom often fell on teachers.
A survey from the Colorado Education Association — the largest educator’s union in the state, representing more than 39,000 educators — found that 67% of their members have considered leaving the field since the COVID-19 pandemic flipped education on its head.

“Of course we don’t expect that many people to retire or resign, but it is a red flag and a warning sign that teachers are feeling stressed, stretched and burnt out,” said Amie Baca-Oehlert, the union’s president. “This past year, many have decided, was one of the hardest they’ve ever experienced.”
CLEAN-UP, P3
“I don’t think that most teachers, including myself, have gotten the support that they need from parents and administrators,” Klaiber said. “I think that administrators, for the most part, are doing their best as well; I just think everyone is very stretched thin and there are a lot of needs in every classroom.”

Road work Fort Lupton resident Janice Wilkin had a couple of things on her mind, and both applied to road work on Weld County Road 29“I½.see a lot of safety issues there with the slope. It was built too high,” she said. “There’s going to be a lot of issues there. Water is going to be running this winter, and we’re going to have ice. I called Roy Vestal and never got a return call.” Vestal was not in attendance at the Aug. 17 meeting. “I heard they paved one side of the road. Why didn’t they just go ahead and pave both sides and then reimburse you guys?” Wilkin asked. “Everyone wants to drive on the paved side of the street.”Stieber Hubbard said the city does not pay for paving in those instances but the developer does. “There is a potential for an accident to happen,” Wilkins said.

It might not feel pleasant to see the current value of your bonds drop. But if you’re not selling them before they mature, and you can take advantage of the opportunities afforded by higher interest rates, you’ll find that owning bonds can still be a valuable part of your investment strategy.
What’s happened is that the Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates to fight inflation. This can cause the value of your existing bonds to drop, because investors will want to buy the newly issued bonds that pay the higher rates. Still, bonds continue to offer you some key benefits. For one thing, as long as you hold your bonds until maturity, you’ll continue to receive the same interest payments. Also, bonds can help reduce the effects of market volatility on a stock-heavy portfolio. And if you own a mix of short-, intermediateand long-term bonds, you’ll likely always have some bonds maturing. When they do, you can reinvest the proceeds into the new, higherpaying bonds.

As an advocate for education and student success, I question why our focus is not on creating environments to support students graduating as well-rounded, educated, prepared members of society. In Weld Re-8 schools, we offer incredible programs to help students leave high school, prepared for life, but are we focusing enough on education? Currently in Weld Re-8 schools, our eligibility guidelines are more strict than the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) requires. In Weld Re-8, students may only participate in extracurricular activities as long as they are not failing more than one class. CHSAA’s requirements are a bit more complex, but if a student is taking a full class-load of seven classes per day, they could fail two classes and still be eligible to participate.
Athletics? Both
S tudent success is often measured in antiquated, less-than-perfect grading systems. I think we can all agree that the best way to grade a school and students is not through a standardized test, filled with questions based on standards set by elitists in Washington, D.C., that the Colorado state Board of Education adopted. Over the years, we have watched as grades plummeted, school ratings decreased and students leave high school unprepared for life in the real world.

In metro Denver’s more affluent northwest suburbs, city officials are also having the same conversation about the balancing beam. Christine Brinker of the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project reports a draft policy would give builders a choice between either all-electric or natural gas with extra energy efficiency.
I appreciate the work our teachers, coaches, activity sponsors, volunteers and students do to make Weld Re-8 the family that it is. At the end of the day, we all know that our students are the next generation, and everything we do is geared to make their time in our district as memorable and successful as possible. Let’s work together and create guidelines that focus on success after high school.
Unless a way can be found to cost-effectively sequester carbon emissions, natural gas will slowly be phased out in coming decades. Ironically, the arrival of natural gas was one reason that coal mining ended in Crested Butte in 1952 after a seven-decade run.
Billick arrived at Crested Butte several decades ago as a biologist at the nearby Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory. Many experiments there have focused on the effects of warming temperatures on existing plants. One experiment involving year-round heat lamps specifically foretells a shift from the showy wildflowers of summer to a duller ecosystem dominated by Temperaturessagebrush.continue to creep higher, but at more than 8,900 feet in elevation, Crested Butte still has chilly winters. The overnight temperature during January averages 6 below. The takeaway here is that if Crested Butte is comfortable with the replacement technologies for natural gas, most other places in Colorado should be, too. Instead, we’re still tethering tens of thousands of homes and other new buildings each year to natural gas pipelines. Denver and Boulder have taken steps to push alternatives. Here and there individual action has occurred.

A small mountain town takes a big step
Student success? Academics?
“There was a lot of talk at council about it being a bold decision, but I don’t see it that way,” said Crested Butte Mayor Ian Billick. “Not only is it what we need to do, but we have all the tools to do it cost effectively.”
Editor’s note: Cody LeBlanc is a member of the Weld Re-8 School District board of education.
In Westminster, John Avenson in 2017 ordered his natural gas line stubbed after maximizing the passive solar potential of his house. In Arvada, Norbert Klebl developed 30 homes without natural gas in a project called GEOS. In Basalt, two affordable housing complexes have been built without natural gas. An allelectric hotel is under construction in Snowmass. North Vista Highlands is slowly taking shape in Pueblo. In Fort Collins, plans have been drawn up for Montava, a 500-unit project. We have been pivoting slowly, but the transition is Granted,accelerating.electrical generation still causes atmospheric pollution. Emissions will dramatically drop by 2030 as Colorado’s utilities close nine of today’s ten coal-burning units. Colorado legislators in 2021 passed several laws that collectively seek to squeeze emissions from our buildings. The laws reflect the state’s political makeup. Colorado may be dominated by Democrats, but it’s still a purplish state. In other words, don’t expect a wave of Crested Butte-type mandates such as occurred in California beginning in 2019. Colorado’s approach has been to offer more carrots than wield sticks. We walk on a different balancing beam. Most important among Colorado’s legislative squeezes is SB21-264, which requires Colorado’s four regulated natural gas utilities — Xcel Energy, Black Hills Energy, Atmos, and Colorado Natural Gas — to incrementally reduce emissions.Thelawidentifies several pathways. They can, for example, help customers improve efficiency of buildings, so buildings need less gas to provide comfort. They can augment their methane obtained by drilling with that diverted from sewage plants, feedlots and other sources.Thefirst of their plans will be filed with state regulators in 2023. The bottom line is that the gas companies are selling land lines. They’ll have to adjust their business models.
Crested Butte, a one-time coal mining town, has now turned its back on natural gas.Town councilors unanimously agreed that any new building erected on 60 vacant lots cannot be served by gas. Major remodels must be electric-ready. It’s Colorado’s first natural gas ban, although 80 other jurisdictions around the country have taken similar measures.
Let’s take the conversation a bit further into Weld Re-8 guidelines. We have no requirements that a student must have a certain grade point average (GPA); meaning, a student can be receiving a “D” in six classes, failing the seventh, and still be eligible to participate.Iagreewith the belief that sometimes sports and activities are the only thing keeping some students engaged and attending school, but we must set expectations that learning is our priority. My recommendation – a running GPA of 2.0 throughout the semester. Under my suggested change to our eligibility requirements, a student taking five classes could have straight “Cs” in their classes or “As” in five classes and failing two. Is this the best standard to hold our students to? I don’t think so, but I feel that it is far more aligned with an academics-first mindset. All of this is said not to minimize the positive impacts of sports and activities, but instead to utilize these programs as an incentive to academic performance. I am a firm believer that athletics, specifically, play a tremendous role in preparing students for any career or path they choose in the future. Additionally, these programs have proven track records of engaging students with their coursework, minimizing behavior issues in the classroom and promoting self-driven success. However, as a board of education member, it is my role to ensure that students leave their high-school career armed with all of the tools necessary to be successful.
The Colorado Public Utilities Commission has now set out to create rules for evaluating these clean-heat plans. In filings beginning in December, real estate agents, home builders and even some municipalities have argued that converting from natural gas will add costs. That was the same message in recent meetings in Montrose and Grand Junction. In this complicated story, their message was simple: Don’t change. In Pueblo, at a meeting across the highway from the steel mill, more nuance was evident. Laborers International Union representatives worried about how this will impact their livelihoods. Electricians, they should do fine in this shift to beneficial electrification. A local resident had no quarrel with eliminating natural gas but worried about the high cost of electricity in Pueblo. Reflecting later, Laura Getts explained the complexities of carbon reduction in buildings. She’s the business development manager for San Isabel Electric, a cooperative serving rural areas of Pueblo and two other counties in southern Colorado. They are among the poorest in the state. Converting from propane, even in existing buildings, is an easy sell, because of the cost of propane. Replacing natural gas in existing buildings is a tougher sell because it remains relatively inexpensive. The economics of all-electric in new buildings are compelling, she says. Even so, San Isabel has struggled to persuade most builders. Pueblo itself still has a goal of shifting to 100% renewables by 2035. The Pueblo Energy Advisory Commission, of which Getts is a member, is struggling to construct that pathway. The challenge, she says is to “reduce carbon emissions and do it rapidly and strategically without leaving people feeling powerless to make their own energy choices.”

Sheehan said teachers go into the fi eld because they are passionate about working with kids and do not expect high pay or recognition, but some form of appreciation after working through a pandemic, a series of school shootings and skyrocketing costs with stagnant wages would have helped low “Educatorsmorale.don’t do this for recognition or appreciation, but there comes a point in time where you just get burnt out,” Shaheen said. “There is a deeper issue, and it has nothing to do with the educators, because we’re putting the time and the blood, sweat and tears in everyday and we’re not being appreciated or acknowledged.”Klaiber said she felt pressure from parents and administrators to create a perfect environment in the classroom without the support to make that happen.

In the education association’s survey, Baca-Oehlert said many teachers also felt they lacked autonomy in their curriculum, particularly as hot-button issues like Critical Race Theory, teaching about LGBTQ+ rights and wearing in schools made their way into the spotlight.
“A lot of people are feeling that their professional voices were not respected,” Baca-Oehlert said. “The ones that are closest to the students are rarely asked their opinion and their professional expertise, so that certainty discourages people.”
“It feels like if you haven’t been successful in creating this happy, calm environment where all students are complying with rules, then you’ve failed as a teacher,” Klaiber said. “Teachers are used to being in their own little class-

I wasn’t the biggest kid,” Zamudio said. “But I am very thankful that he did. I couldn’t imagine not playing football for my high-school team now on Friday nights and representing my high school. Football is different than baseball. It makes you tougher, stronger, and a better teammate. It is a brotherhood.” Zamudio sports a 4.46 grade-point average and a 1420 score on his SATs. He’s a two-time academic allstate“Playingselection.multiple sports in high school is difficult. Each sport takes a lot of time and dedication,” Zamudio said. “I am preparing to apply to colleges now, and I need to document time spent on extracurricular activities. It is amazing the amount of time I have spent on these two sports when I dig into the number of hours spent on each.” He takes some time off in December. Baseball resumes in January and continues through October. He dons the football gear from June to November.“Nowthrow in academics and it is difficult,” Zamudio said. “However, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. The relationships and memories I have made over the years playing each sport have been awesome. I have spoken to high academic schools with baseball and football programs, and I know they can appreciate me playing multiple sports.

Newly installed CHSAA Commissioner Mike Krueger emphasizes a point during CHSAA’s Fall Sports Media Day Aug. 15 at Empower Field in Denver.
DENVER – Even though Colorado High School Activities Association Commissioner Mike Krueger admitted to feeling like he was “drinking water from a fire hose” early in his new job, he outlined some specific goals during CHSAA’s media day at Empower Field on Aug. 15. One of those has to do with the shortage of game officials. Before anyone’s football season could begin, schools were changing dates and times to make sure there were enough referees to work the games. He said there were some short-term answers, but he’s focusing on a longtermPartstrategy.oftheeffort involves the creation of a task force from schools, officials and various communities.

Frederick’s Zamudio bounces back in time for senior season(s)
Most high-school seniors don’t have to travel the road to 12th grade that Frederick’s Cruz Zamudio did. “I tore my labrum during football season and didn’t know it was torn until December,” said the Golden Eagles’ two-sport athlete. He also plays baseball. “I think it happened around Halloween. Around Thanksgiving, my dad and I played some catch with the baseball, and it still was hurting. So out of precaution, we went to get it checked out.” That led to surgery in January and a potential four-to six- month recovery. The labrum is a rim of soft tissue that surrounds the socket of a joint — a shoulder joint in his case. “Once I had the surgery, I had to be in a sling for about four weeks straight,” Zamudio said. “Then I started physical therapy, which was twice a week for about three months. At first, it was painful. My range of motion was not good, and my arm was very weak due to not moving it for the first four weeks.” His arm strength and his range of motion improved to a point that Zamudio started a throwing program in the fourth month. But, there was still a certain amount of uncertainty.“Iwasunsure if I would be able to through again to play high-level baseball. But as time went on and I saw the improvements weekly, I realized I would be able to make a full recovery,” he said. “The goal with the surgery from the beginning was to be able to play baseball in college if I got an Zamudioopportunity.”missedmost of his junior year of baseball with the Golden Eagles. “That was tough mentally. During my sophomore year, I made honorable mention all-state and had a great sophomore year,” Zamudio said. “I wanted to follow that up with another strong junior year, but that just wasn’t possible. I decided to focus on getting stronger and refining the mechanics of my baseball swing. I was able to swing the bat at 100 percent around May. This allowed me to DH for the last four weeks of the baseball season.”
Other topics/new faces Game officials weren’t the only thing on Krueger’s mind. CHSAA and the Denver Broncos teamed up to further interest in girls’ flag football. It could become a CHSAA-sanctioned sport in two to three years. “We hope we can continue to expand and offer opportunities to girls who want to play football at the high school level,” Krueger said. “There’s been an increase in participation by females in football. They love to play.”Krueger spent the last four years working with U.S.A. Football, “where I gained an incredible background of medical knowledge and sports science all the way down to youthKruegerfootball.”alsointroduced Mike Book, one of CHSAA’s new assistant commissioners. He’ll be in charge of golf, swimming and diving and the state’s officials. He takes over for Tom Robinson, who passed away earlier this year. Another new assistant commissioner, John Sullivan, was on hand. He’s in charge of baseball, football, softball and wrestling.

“We have a lot of identified issues,” Krueger said. “But I like to quote Albert Einstein, who said, ‘If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions.’ We need to have all of the stakeholders at the table and find solutions that work for everybody – the schools, community leaders and the officials. We have to be broad in ourAnotherthinking.”idea was to educate school staff on the ways to provide hospitality to game officials. “Most of our schools do a great job. But we also have more than 90 new athletic directors this year,” he said. “We have to train people to give our officials a room to change, a bottle of water. If we show appreciation to the officials, that goes a long way.”Krueger said moving games off the traditional Friday night schedule has a big impact. “Officials are a vital part of the success of our program. We know there is going to be a lot of work ahead of us,” Krueger said. “It’s something we deal with daily. We meet with the assignors across the state. We’re meeting with the leagues. We’ve headed out south, out east. It’s a real unified effort.”
