Grain Elevator project sparks city spending debate City infrastructure spending is common, although councilors split on practice

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thornton City Council discussed the proposed Eastlake Grain Elevator project at the Jan. 18 planning session meeting, and much debate surrounded whether the city should pay developers infrastructure reimbursement. “(It’s) a wonderful opportunity to create a unique downtown style destination for the City of Thornton,” Julie Jacoby, a member of Thornton’s Economic Development team said.

According to Jacoby the area needs water, drainage, sewer and other infrastructure that would total almost $2 million before the development starts. But that estimate is based on 2019 values, she said, and there has been a 40 percent increase in construction costs since that number was calculated.

Jacoby said the council will vote on approving a purchase and sale agreement, SEE ELEVATOR, P2

Uplands foes begin collecting petitions for vote

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With a City Council approval in the books, foes of the Uplands development hope to take their arguments directly to Westminster voters.

Resident Karen Kalavity notified the City Council on Jan. 10 that the group Citizens for Open Space are collecting signatures to put the Uplands proposal up for a vote by referendum. Kalavity, Karl Merida and Joe Zavala are the sponsoring petition electors.

“I want to inform people here that we have filed a referendum today

with regards to the Uplands development,” Kalavity said at the city council meeting.

According to Karen Ray, a leader of the Save the Farm group, the petition will need 8,049 valid signatures from Westminster residents.

Ray, who lives in Shaw Heights, cannot sign the petition. A new group called Citizens for Open Space was formed to host the referendum, said Ray. City Council voted 5-2 to approve the Uplands proposal on Dec. 20 and this effort comes to counter that decision.

the City Council will let them continue work on the 235-acre project, designed to convert the large open space surrounding the church into Uplands, a massive mixed-use development, with housing options ranging from single-family homes to apartments and townhomes as well as parks and commercial areas. The project would take several years to complete, ultimately having room for 2,350 dwelling units in a mix of housing types.

Merida said their goal is 9,000 signatures and canvassing residents has begun.

“A lot of citizens (who) are resi-

dents of Westminster want to take copies and go talk to their neighbors, so the canvassing includes that and also people that are going door to door,” said Merida.

As well, the group provides stations for residents to sign the petition seven days a week. So far, places have been Safeway at 104th, Costco and the group hopes to include the DMV during the week.

The group has 30 days to meet the required signatures and the deadline to submit is Feb. 9. If the required signatures are met, the vote will go to citizens on whether Uplands can move forward with their proposal.

Third tier drop just first step, councilors say Westminster’s top water rates equal to tier two and it doesn’t stop there

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Members of the City’s Inclusivity Board asked if City Council will make changes to all the water rates at their Jan. 12 meeting, not just the one that impacts the biggest water users.

“We are just as anxious to see something as you are,” said Mayor Pro Tem David DeMott, the city council liaison, to the board.

The Westminster City council voted in December to make the top water rate, Tier Three, the same as Tier Two. According to Andy Le, a spokesperson for the city of Westminster, only about 7,500 of the total 33,000 ratepayers reached that third tier once in 2021. That’s less than a quarter of the city’s water ratepayers.

DeMott said there is no doubt the change was inclusive.

“I object really adamantly to the idea that people who are in that third tier are in a certain income bracket,” DeMott said. “You have people who have lived decades in the same home who now all of a sudden have these huge water bills.

“To me, I want to make sure that if someone’s being responsible and just trying to take care of the property and use the amount of water they need to use that we’re not changing the rule on them and pricing them out of their home and that is the reality that we’re

and an infrastructure reimbursement agreement for the project.

The city purchased the Eastlake Grain Elevator in 2001. A 2016 request for proposal for renovations there only received one response.

The city rejected it and has waited for others to come in, Jacoby said.

The city has spent about $50,000 on an American Land Title As-

seeing in the city,” he said. “I can’t tell you how many people I know that have decided just to move for a variety of reasons, water being one of them.”

Councilor Ezeadi disagrees. He thinks the move ignored a majority of the city.

“I knocked 11,000+ doors during my campaign, and the majority of the residents who wanted lower water rates were Tier 2, and even some in Tier 1,” he said.

Westminster charges $3.96 per 1,000 gallons for the first 6,000 gallons of water. That’s the first tier.

Users that used between 6,001 and 20,000 gallons – the City’s second tier – pay $8.15 for anything over 6,000 gallons. Westminster’s third tier charged those who used more than 20,000 gallons $12.88 per 1,000 gallons for anything over 20,000 gallons.

That third tier is the one the City Council reduced in December.

A Drop in the Bucket City Councilor Rich Seymour said that this was the first of many steps the council will take on solving the city’s water issue.

“It was easy to identify and quantify that singular impact because it was for a small spectrum,” he said. “At the same time that was being done, Councilor Baker and I authored an email with some other ideas and requests that we should be seeing (Jan. 24) that took a considerable amount more time to investigate and give us those financial impacts.”

At this point, Seymour foresees the third tier remaining suspended throughout the summer.

“I would say that it’s not only tier three, it’s tier three is what we’ve sociation Survey, Geotech Soils Study and a Structural Assessment. Jacoby said this was to provide developers with an idea of the condition the grain elevator was in and anything that would be required from them.

The Carlson family was selected as the developer of choice in 2019 and city staff moved forward with the sale and infrastructure reimbursement agreements. Requirements from the city include preserving and enhancing the historic infrastructure, including the 1920s

done so far,” said DeMott.

According to Le, lowering the third tier will cost the city about $750,000. He said lowering other tiers will cost the city more, which is the reason city staff only presented this solution to the council.

“Staff needed additional time to analyze impacts to city operations and capital improvements project needs,” Le said.

Le said that staff has prepared a rate analysis and will present an update to the council on Jan. 24.

DeMott said he is interested in looking at the tiers, and possibly expanding tier two because he understands the balancing act between conservation and making water affordable.

“A better balance, I guess, is the long-term solution that I’m looking for,” he said.

Ezeadi thinks all the research done by city staff and outside auditors needs to be reviewed by the council, and he points to the ‘dilapidated’ Semper Water Treatment Plant council toured earlier this month.

“I’m grateful to my colleagues that we are all committed to a datadriven exploration of all of our options,” he said. “I would like for us to evaluate research on both sides of the coin: revenue generation and cost of infrastructure.”

Conflict of Interest?

Residents that attended the Jan. 12 meeting said councilors need to settle the water rate question.

Carol Campbell, a resident of Westminster and a former 33-year employee for the Environmental Protection Agency, said it does not make sense for the city to reward residents for using over 20,000 galera Head House and Warehouse.

The Carlson’s vision is to use 1.99 acres of the land to create a vibrant and unique restaurant hub as a gathering place for folks, Jacoby said. The Head House and The Shed would become full-service restaurants and the Scale House a bakery/coffee shop.

Deciding who pays Jacoby said the Carlson’s asked for the city to build the infrastructure and waive entitlement fees, meaning they would receive both the infrastructure and the land for free.

“It becomes cost-prohibitive for any developer to do the project,” said Jacoby, if the city does not subsidize that portion of the project.

City Councilor Kathy Henson didn’t buy it.

“So we’re giving them the land and we’re building the infrastructure?” she asked. “It’s a negotiation, (developers) are always going to ask for that, I do not understand why we, the city, are paying them to build the infrastructure when that’s what (developers) do.”

“It must be nice to be the Carlsons,” said City Councilor Karen Bigelow.

Jacoby said the development would be more expensive since the Carlsons would be maintaining and renovating the current struc-

lons of water per month.

“It doesn’t make any sense to me that you would knee jerk for a small percentage of people, and granted they’re noisy, but a small percentage of people who don’t know what they’re talking about, and want to use 20,000 gallons of water a month. Why should we be rewarding them?” Campbell said.

She thinks that education is important when it comes to water rates.

“Why are we doing this? Why is it costing more? Hey guys, look around. Is there a drought? Yes. Did you just notice we had a bad fire that a lot of people lost their houses? Yeah,” she said.

Campbell also noted that some of the city councilors who voted in favor of suspending the tier three water rates benefitted themselves.

“The counselors themselves, some of them like Bruce Baker, have these huge yards,” she said.

“So, he’s benefited himself by that vote.”

Lori Goldstein, a resident of Westminster, also thinks that lowering the tier structure is bad for the city, and threatens the quality of water Westminster has.

“The reason the water rates were put there in the first place was to have a long-term plan of what kind of water we have, what kind of quality we have and what kinds of facilities that we have to purify our water,” she said.

Most importantly, Goldstein points to the effect the water rates debate has had on the city.

“I think this has really caused a lot of damage, I think to the culture of our city with the bipolarization of the water issue,” she said. ture, instead of bulldozing and building from the ground.

“This is a higher cost of development on top of the fact that it’s probably going to be a lower return on investment,” she said.

“The users we’ve specifically asked them to focus on for the space are going to be small mom and pop types of retailers.”

She also said she expects approximately $2 million in tax revenue over five to seven years from the project.

Burden or benefit John Cody, Thornton’s Economic Development Director, said without the city paying for the infrastructure, developers won’t take it.

“If the burden is on (the developers) to make these infrastructure improvements, then they won’t do it,” he said.

Henson asked if the city often pays for the infrastructure for developments and Cody said it is common for the city to fund infrastructure that facilitates development. Jacoby said it is a common negotiating tool.

“We never recommend something if we don’t think it’s a good deal for the city, because we are going to get something back out in the long term,” Jacoby said. “In the long term, it serves the city’s best interest from an economic development standpoint.”

Residents voice needed changes for Strategic Plan Councilors reccomended certain residents to speak on issues important to them for the strategic planning retreat. Here’s what they said.

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster will host its yearly strategic planning retreat at 9:00 a.m. on Jan. 29 and Jan. 30 at City Park Recreation Center in the Longs Peak Community Room. The meeting will not be livestreamed, as the city cannot offer live streams for off-site meetings.

“Each year, City Council reviews its vision for the future through a Strategic Plan to achieve that vision.

The plan defines the city’s vision, mission, core values, and goals.

Each goal is further defined and specific initiatives are identified as priorities for City Council that help achieve the associated goal,” said Andy Le, a spokesperson for the city.

Prior to the retreat, the Westminster Window asked the mayor and each city councilor to connect us with residents of Westminster to offer their take on what should be added — or stay the same — in the strategic plan.

Every councilor sent between two and 11 contacts of folks, besides councilors Lindsey Smith and Bruce Baker, to speak about the issues important to them. Smith did not respond and Baker declined the request.

Each resident spoke from the perspective of a Westminster resident.

Although many wear different hats, such as a school board member, a non-profit supporter or a pastor, they spoke with the goal of improving the city.

There are many more issues and many more perspectives, but with a city council with such diverse views, the Window thought this method was the best way to tackle the project.

Traffic on Wadsworth Boulevard in Westminster. Traffic is one of the topics the Westminster City Council plans to tackle at their PHOTO BY LUKE ZARZECKI strategic planning session.

Below are the prevalent themes that came from the conversations.

Communication For communication from residents to the city, Lori Goldstein encourages council to listen to Westy Rise, which she says is made up of 40-50 people from all walks of life put into six groups. The team of residents gives the city recommendations based on the conversations in those groups.

“How do we maintain the quality of life for everybody from the bottom of the city to the top of the city or the south end of the city to the north end of the city?” she asked.

For communication from the city to residents, a first step could be to live stream the strategic planning retreat.

“Especially with Covid running around, not everyone’s comfortable attending,” said Tom Jurgens.

Dave Carpenter thinks the language of the strategic plan needs to be simplified so everyone can understand it.

Bev Bishop said the bilingual communication efforts need to remain, to be inclusive to the entire commu-

nity. As well, she thinks a city staff member who is entirely dedicated to communicating with residents is needed.

Bishop enjoys the media literature produced by the city. So does Cindy Staudt, who would like the city to continue with print publications and email newsletters that inform what council and staff are up to. She said both mediums serve different folks.

Food Access and Housing Goldstein says the food desert in South Westminster needs to be addressed.

“They have to go up to 104th to buy groceries or they have to go over to (80th and Sheridan),” she said.

Bishop agrees and mentioned many of the grocery stores in that area closed. It creates problems for those without access to cars.

“There is very, very much a lack of places for people in this part of town, especially with limited incomes, and limited opportunities for education and food,” she said.

Carol Campbell said residents cannot afford to save for home ownership because rent is too high. She said the situation is similar to Los Angeles, and she doesn’t want that.

“I have a friend whose daughter is living in an apartment in Westminster, and she has a one-bedroom apartment and it’s like 1,800 bucks a month, and she makes $40,000 a year,” she said. “It’s very difficult.”

Emily Brooks thinks making housing affordable will help businesses and the community. She notes how Westminster Public Schools officials have testified saying their staff can’t live where they teach.

“Will my employees have to live an hour away from work to have an affordable place to live?” she said.

“Why wouldn’t we want to have the people that are teaching our children be part of our community?”

Development City Council and the Planning Commisions do not approve Prelimiary Development Plans under ten acres, according to Dave Carpenter.

Anything under ten acres is administratively approved. He thinks that needs to change.

“...(the threshold should be lowered to) five acres or two acres to allow more people to participate in the public process,” he said.

Some residents warned of too much density in Westminster. Cindy Staudt thinks the city is leaning on the side of urban in the urban vs. rural debate.

“Not that it has to be a battle but they’ve been trying to make it so urban that I think they’re not paying attention to the people who move to places like this so they can be suburban,” she said.

Council and the city’s focus needs to come back to center, and Carpenter thinks the center is the original Westminster.

With most attention brought to new development, Carpenter thinks the original Westminster needs more attention with previous city events brought back to the area, like the Orchard Festival.

Parks and Trails Jurgens does not want to see privately owned parks, and points to the Uplands development. He worries the Uplands development will be an island on its own, and not integrated into the rest of the city.

As well, residents pointed to the many trails that need completing.

“There are many regional trails on our master plan that aren’t built.

I think we can look at that because people do use those to commute as well as recreate,” Carpenter said.

Water Many different opinions on water issues surfaced, with the struggle of maintaining infrastructure while making water rates affordable at the heart of the conversation.

“I don’t know if anybody’s looked at what the plant water, that’s 50 years old, looks like but it’s pretty bad off,” said Jurgens. “I’d hate to be in a position where we’re like Flint, Michigan, where things don’t work.”

“I think it’s more than we should be paying, but I also understand infrastructure needs to be worked on,” said Staudt.

Prairie dogs in the way of Flatirons Academy expansion Neighbor worries what athletic fields will doom wildlife

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Every day, Leland Renoff walks his dog past the open space on the corner of Park Center Drive and North Tejon St. in Westminster. The space is currently home to a colony of prairie dogs.

When the two walk past, the prairie dogs hide away, as Renoff said they see his dog as a predator.

“The funny thing is, (humans are) probably their biggest predator, their biggest enemy,” he said.

Flatirons Academy, a private k-12 school, owns the space and it totals 11.68 acres. The school plans to develop the area into a baseball field, football field, two parking lots and additional buildings for ancillary uses. Westminsters’ planning commission unanimously approved the project, and the same happened with City Council on Jan. 10.

Renoff is a 2018 transplant from New Jersey to Westminster who cites the open space and beautiful landscapes of Colorado as reasons for the move.

“It’s probably the most beautiful landscape in the country,” he said, talking about the state of Colorado.

Leland learned about the Academy’s plans and immediately thought

about the prairie dogs, hawks, magpies, bald eagles and other animals that use the site. It saddens him to see how quickly developers turn prairies into parking lots.

“We kill these (prairie dogs) en masse just to lay some foundation,” he said.

He brought his concerns to the Jan. 10 city council meeting.

Important Project “Our goal is to continue to improve our program and the experience we provide for our students,” said Mitch Doughty, the Director of Operations for the school during the city council meeting.

Their athletic activities include football, basketball, baseball, soccer and volleyball and have competed in four state championships in the past three years and won two, Doughty said.

Currently, the school rents fields offsite where the students can practice. This project would eliminate the need for transporting students after school.

“Say goodbye to the days of playing opponents on a rented field or wondering where practice takes place. Adding twelve acres to our campus expands our community making way for two true home fields for games and practice. We’ll have plenty of space for kindergarten through twelfth-grade families to cheer on the Bison from the stands, play with friends on the playground, SEE PRAIRIE DOGS, P6

Westminster city council tables board reappointments

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster city councilors wanted to delay a decision about who will sit on a bevy of Westminster advisory boards and committees after strategic planning, they said Jan. 10.

But, the move changed course.

Westminster City Council tabled a resolution to reappoint board members at the Jan. 10 city council meeting, contrary to historic actions, on a 5-2 vote with only councilors Obi Ezeadi and Sarah Nurmela dissenting.

Councilor Bruce Baker said the decision to reappoint the members should come after the strategic planning retreat, which is Jan. 29 and Jan. 30, to give the members an opportunity to see if they align with the plan.

Though, Mayor Pro Tem DeMott asked for the item to be put back on the Jan. 24 city council agenda and said he anticipates council approving it.

“Has this been communicated to all members as to why we would be tabling this today, because I know many are expecting for the full resolution to pass tonight,” City Coun-

or grab a snack from the concession stand,” says a flier from Flatirons Academy.

“This addition allows for the creation of a continuous safe space for learning and outdoor recreation for the students,” said Brandi Rice, a senior associate with Norris Design.

Westminster City Councilor Sarah Nurmela voiced her approval for the project.

“I’m really excited that there’s investment and the school is going to be expanded,” she said.

Important Animals According to the organization Defenders of Wildlife, prairie dogs benefit almost 150 species because their colonies create islands of habitat. They are considered a keystone species, which helps keep an ecosys-

cilor Ezeadi said at the meeting.

The resolution would have reappointed members appointed new and alternate members to the Election Commission, Environmental Advisory Board, Historic Landmark Board, Human Services Board, Inclusivity Board, Parks, Recreation, Libraries, and Open Space Advisory Board, Personnel Board, Planning Commission, and Special Permit and License Board, respectively.

“I don’t want this last-minute call to cause any undo fear or resentment from our current board members,” Ezeadi said.

Usually, members are reappointed and then willingly resign if they choose to do so. “(This was) first time in the last two years that I’ve served that it wasn’t just an automatic reappointment,” said City Councilor Rich Seymour.

Seymour said that the mayor and most of the council agreed that due to the turnover from November’s election, having the strategic planning meeting early made sense. In order to align the boards and commissions, it would be best to hold off the appointment of the members, he

said.

Westminster’s strategic planning meeting usually occurs in the late summer or fall.

DeMott said debating issues is important, but wants to align the boards with the strategic plan.

“I think disagreement is constructive. As long as it’s done with the goal of `we all want a good outcome for the community,’” he said. “So I think that once we get to the strategic plan, aligning with our boards and commissions makes sense to me.”

Seymour said he would not replace the board members `wholesale’ and there were not any specific boards he saw better fits.

tem together.

As well, the dogs are a food source for many animals, including burrowing owls, ferruginous hawks, foxes and the endangered black-footed ferrets, says the website.

“The developer gave a presentation on all their plans for this lot and nowhere in there did they mention what to do with all prairie dogs that already exist here,” he said. “Which to me is kind of a sign that they weren’t considering (them) in the first place.”

After Renoff voiced his concern through public comment, Westminster Mayor Nancy McNally asked what would happen to the prairie dogs, to which Doughty said he would follow city policy after the proposal was approved.

Westminster City Councilor Obi Ezeadi pressed harder on the applicant and asked whether they will euthanize the animals if they cannot be relocated by the city.

“Can’t you do more? Can you please do more?” he asked.

“I haven’t looked into it beyond what we already said, I don’t want to see the prairie dogs die either, I was planning on there being a relocation plan,” Doughty said. “I have to look into it more, I don’t want to commit to something I don’t know more about.”

Renoff hopes the developer puts time and thought into how they will handle the prairie dogs.

“But if that company (Norris design) is doing a lot more development in the area, and this plan to relocate the wildlife isn’t part of their package already, and you know, they’re not doing that for other spots, right,” he said.

Rubber stamp?

Councilor Ezeadi heard many complaints about not reappointing the boards.

“I have received many calls from angry residents that see this action as a political act of censorship,” he said. “These existing members are residents that devoted their time to help build a better Westminster.

And knowing that we have a hard time finding people who actually want to serve on our boards, we

State Laws According to Jason Clay, a public information officer for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the landowner decides what to do with the prairie dogs, but would need a permit from Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) if they want to relocate them.

CPW would then determine if the proposed site would be an appropriate habitat.

“If they meet the set of guidelines, then they would adapt easily. If we did not think they could adapt to the proposed location, we would not approve the application,” Clay said.

Historic Actions According to Andy Le, a spokesper-

should be doing everything in our power to show our appreciation and gratitude for our new and existing members.”

Carol Campbell, a resident of Westminster, said she thinks the council’s intentions are contrary to what they have said.

“What they want is a rubber stamp. They want people that are thinking exactly like them,” she said.

As a former environmental advisory board member, she said she has never seen a board sway council in either way.

“They work for us, the city, people that live here,” Campbell said.

“They are supposed to represent the thoughts and interests, of what the people want, not what the council necessarily wants.”

Councilor Nurmela thinks it is important for the board members to serve throughout different administrations.

“The intent of many of these boards is to advise Council, to chal- i lenge us based on their knowledge, k not necessarily to follow our lead. t As a result, these positions should carry through different administra- r tions,” she said. v g t son for the City of Westminster, the city does not have wildlife protection` ordinances in place for private land. u t The laws are up to the state.

“If any action is needed, it would h s be the responsibility of the developer,” Le said. “In Colorado, wildlife Z is under the jurisdiction of the state. According to the Colorado Department of Agriculture, prairie c dogs are classified as a “destructive o rodent pest,” and this classification s s offers them little protection.”

Though, Westminster has human- t ly relocated prairie dogs in the past.

Le points to the Big Dry Creek Inter- r ceptor project at City Park, where s the city moved about 75 prairie dogs a b to public land in Jefferson county w last summer.

Le said that the dogs must be relocated within their origin county, andp e that’s not always an option.

“Given the space limitations of T the Front Range, it is not always possible to relocate prairie dogs. In instances where relocation is not an option, prairie dogs are donated to the Birds of Prey Foundation to aid in the rehabilitation of raptors,” he said.

Though Renoff understands the importance of the project and upgrading the school, he thinks Colorado’s quick development is the wrong move.

“I guess we’ve developed this to the point where nobody can really see what this land used to be,” he said.

‘Personal choices’ behind surge in traffic deaths Officials study statewide increase, with total for 2021 likely to top 700

BY

PAOLO ZIALCITA CPR NEWS

Preliminary data from the Colorado Department of Transportation shows 672 people died on Colorado roads in 2021, the state’s most since 2002.

That number is expected to exceed 700 once final tallies come in, according to Colorado State Patrol chief Matthew Packard. During a Jan. 19 press conference announcing

infrastructure necessities, you know, things get old, especially water pipes,” said Goldstein.

Campbell is in favor of the water rates and educating folks on conservation tactics. She also thinks the government needs more conservation programs. “(the government) need to say, `Okay, I understand that you’re upset with your rights. I understand that you can’t afford to do this. Well, here’s what we can do to help you,’” she said.

Zoning Jeff Cramer sees a need for zoning changes to allow for more nonprofit opportunities, as well as vacant spaces to be used for emergencies, such as food distribution during times of crisis. “...when we have our crises that rise within our city that we have some other immediate options to be able to facilitate and quickly mobilize and handle you know needs within our city,” he said.

“We have maybe a handful of places and that’s it,” he said, in reference to nonprofit zoning.

Transportation Taking up lanes on roads to ac-

the record, Packard urged people to take personal responsibility for reducing traffic deaths. He said too many people get behind the wheel while impaired, or are distracted when on the road.

“It’s appalling to me to think that that many people senselessly lose their lives in something that we do every day,” Packard said.

Overall, the state has seen a 50 percent increase in traffic deaths since 2011, and deaths on Colorado roadways increased by 8 percent last year compared to 2020. The early count shows 432 crashes involved people in cars and trucks, while 145 were motorcycle or bicycle riders. In addition, 87 pedestrians were killed by incoming traffic. commodate bike lanes frustrates Staudt. A specific area is on 100th near Stanley Lake heading north where she sees the sidewalk wide enough to accommodate both bikers and walkers.

“I have seen no more than 20 bicycles using the bike lane, yet they’re squishing all the traffic into one lane and it has backed up,” she said.

Carpenter agrees that bike lanes should not take up car lanes, and if bike lanes are to be added, then expand the roads. He also thinks the previous plan was too anti-car for Westminster.

Jurgens thinks council needs to address traffic from the future Uplands development.

“When you look at effects on traffic, I don’t see (council) robustly dealing with traffic consequences: Lowell Street,” said Jurgens.

Colorado Springs and greater El Paso County had the most road fatalities in the state last year, with 77. Denver reported 65 fatal crashes during the same period.

Police officials from around the state said they plan to expand enforcement in areas with a disproportionate share of fatalities. But they argued during Tuesday’s briefing that a systemic crackdown on traffic safety is not the solution.

“The causations we’ve talked about today that cause accidents, those are personal choices,” Colorado Springs Police Department chief Vincent Niski said. “It’s not infrastructure, a lot of it’s not infrastructure. A lot of it’s not about public transit. It is about a personal choice

to run a red light.”

CDOT director of maintenance and operations John Lorme acknowledged asking Coloradans to be more careful does not guarantee change, but he reminded people worried about road safety that improving other transportation options would make residents less dependent on driving.

“CDOT knows that we can’t grow out of this problem,” he said. “One of the ways that we can [improve] is to increase transit availability to everybody within the state.”

Colo. teacher shortage highlights need for more school funding Lawmakers to start debating how much state money to give school districts next year

BY DANIEL DUCASSI AND ERICA BREUNLIN COLORADO SUN

Colorado will continue to face a critical teacher shortage unless state leaders make good on their constitutional obligation to increase education funding, the head of Colorado’s largest teacher union says.

“We’re at a crisis point that requires bold action by our legislature,” Colorado Education Association President Amie Baca-Oehlert told The Colorado Sun in an interview ahead of the 2022 legislative session, which began Jan. 12.

The union is asking for a major investment in schools and it plans to lobby school districts to spend their share of any budgetary increase on improving teacher pay, Baca-Oehlert said.

The push to restore education funding and improve pay for teachers comes as lawmakers are gearing up to debate in the coming months just how much state money to give school districts next year.

Colorado lawmakers have not kept up with increasing education funding at the level the constitution requires, leaving districts shortchanged and holding a nearly $10 billion IOU from the state.

The state’s coffers are flush with cash at the moment – so much so that taxpayers are expected to receive refunds for each of the next three fiscal years. And the state also has billions more in one-time federal aid it received during the pandemic, giving state lawmakers extra flexibility with spending this year.

While the governor wants to chip away at the state’s funding obligation to school districts — known as the budget stabilization factor — with $150 million a year for the next three years, Republicans want to commit to paying the state’s entire annual funding obligation to

schools going forward, which could cost hundreds of millions of dollars more each year.

Two Republican state senators, Barbara Kirkmeyer of Brighton and Paul Lundeen of Monument, have drafted a bill – set to be introduced this week – that aims to do just that, providing more than $700 million to wipe out the budget stabilization factor.

“The bill itself would eliminate the budget stabilization factor, would take $723 million and completely buy it down,” Lundeen told the Colorado Sun. Republicans believe the state can commit to that higher level of funding for education long term. Sen. Bob Rankin, a Carbondale Republican who sits on the Joint Budget Committee, thinks that increasing property tax revenue amid appreciating real estate values will help the state get there.

But Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg, D-Boulder, argues relying on increasing property tax revenues is less than ideal, and offered a more cautious approach.

zation factor] for one year doesn’t do a whole lot of good,” he said.

The constitution requires the state to increase base per-student school funding by at least the rate of inflation each year, so the funding obligation is a perennial problem.

“We have to get rid of it in a way that is sustainable so that it goes away forever,” Fenberg added.

The Republican proposal, if adopted, could have implications for Democrats’ spending priorities as more money for K-12 education means less money for other initiatives.

Baca-Oehlert described the governor’s plan as “a good start” but thinks state leaders can up that figure.

“We do believe that there is an ability to do more than $150 million this year,” Baca-Oehlert said. “And with a over half-a-billion-dollar hole in education funding, we think that doing more than $150 million would be just a better way to support our struggling schools and students in this time of significant need.”

Teacher shortage hits districts Whatever lawmakers decide, Baca-Oehlert worries that without substantial new funding schools will struggle to recruit new teachers and keep them in classrooms.

“Our districts need an ability to attract people to the profession, but also to retain them,” she said. “And so when you have the financial resources to provide those things that are going to impact people’s work life, that can lead to the district’s ability to recruit and retain.”

Baca-Oehlert said the union also has a parallel strategy of convincing districts to prioritize teacher pay in spending any new money they may receive from the state.

She observed that a double whammy of low pay and pandemic stresses are forcing school districts statewide to grapple with a teacher shortage.

CEA recently conducted a survey and found that 67% of its members were thinking about leaving the teaching field in the near future.

That’s a 27 percentage point increase from the 40% of members

who indicated they were considering leaving when surveyed in December 2020.

Meanwhile, it’s become harder for school districts to retain educators as they struggle to compete against the wages in other industries. Some full-time teachers have left the classroom in pursuit of jobs that pay better and are lower stress.

Baca-Oehlert cited the example of an early career teacher who chose to leave the classroom and work in a coffee shop in pursuit of higher pay and less hassle.

Another teacher, veteran educator Diane Santorico, taught for nearly 30 years before deciding to call it quits last year. She often came home at the end of the day in tears after being forced to teach in a 95-degree classroom while wearing a mask and being unable to use school water fountains.

“There’s no doubt that the classroom is the center point for pressures generated by this pandemic,” House Speaker Alec Garnett, a Denver Democrat, told reporters Monday. “Students and teachers and parents have felt a lot of those pressures. We need to do everything we can to invest as much as we can in the classroom.”

But House Minority Leader Hugh McKean, R-Loveland, said the General Assembly has been “terrible at prioritizing” education funding.

“But yet we all say that we prioritize education and we want to make sure that teachers can get more pay, we want to make sure that students can have more materials in the classroom.”

However, if the state doesn’t make good on its constitutional spending obligations, he added, “then what we’re really doing is saying we’re going to continually fund education at a lower level.”

27J’s graduation rate increases for a fourth year STAFF REPORT

The graduation rate in 27J Schools increased for a fourth year in a row, according to a press statement.

The rate increased two percent to 88.2 percent, an all-time high, said the district.

“This is proof positive that our efforts to keep kids in school and on track to graduate on time are working,” 27J Schools Superintendent Chris Fiedler said in the statement. “Earning that high-school diploma is critical to any student’s success whether they decide to go to college, to a trade school or immediately enter the workforce. It’s the key to more and better opportunities.”

The district’s statement said 27J Schools has the highest graduation rate among Adams County school districts. The statement also said

it posted gains among its Hispanic and white students. Hispanic students netted an increased graduation rate of nearly 4 percent to 86.7 percent, which earns 27J Schools the highest Hispanic student graduation rate in the Denver metro area.

White students also increased their graduation rate 2.3 percentage points to 90.6 percent. The district’s graduation rate exceeds the state average in every ethnic group, the statement said.

Three Brighton high schools – Brighton High School, Eagle Ridge Academy and Prairie View High School – earned graduation rates of more than 90 percent, the district said. These schools, plus the district’s alternative high school, Innovations and Options, all saw improvement over last year’s graduation rate. The district’s newest high school, Riverdale Ridge, posted its first graduation rate at

93.8 percent this year.

27J Schools’ graduation rate now has exceeded the state average for four consecutive years.

“Improving a large system like ours takes a lot of teamwork and dedication. I have to thank the class of 2021, their parents and all of Team 27J for this historic accomplishment,” Fiedler said. “This is the highest graduation rate in the district’s history.”

27J Schools includes the city of Brighton, and parts of Thornton, Commerce City, Lochbuie, Aurora, Broomfield and Weld County. The district’s statement said new families are moving into the district at a record pace, and student enrollment numbers are increasing by about 500 to 800 students per year over the last five years alone.

In 2000, the district served 5,000 students while today, it has about 20,300 students enrolled. That

number represents a diverse student population, according to the district -- 57.7 percent Hispanic students, 42 percent white students, 3.2 percent Asian students, 2.1 percent black students, 3.6 percent students of two or more races, 0.3 of 1 percent American Indian students and 0.2 of 1 percent native Hawaiian students.

“We’re doing a much better job of helping students find skills and subjects that really interest them and linking them to STEM and technical education.

In those programs, students can do internships in the community and get hands-on training to explore their interests and see how they can make a career out of what they truly like to do,” 27J Schools Chief Academic Officer Will Pierce said. “That’s a powerful incentive to stay in school when you see career options you’d really enjoy.”

Colorado’s graduation rates fell last year The drop was worse among students of color

BY DAVID GILBERT COLORADO SUN

Colorado’s high school graduation rate fell for the first time in more than a decade in 2021, according to

the Colorado Department of Education.

A total of 81.7% of the class of 2021 graduated last spring, down from 81.9% of the class of 2020.

The data shows wide graduation rate discrepancies between races and economic statuses.

The decline came as the pandemic shuttered schools across the state and sent students home to learn,

leading to widening gaps between students of color and their white peers.

The graduation rate for white students climbed by 0.6 percentage points last year to 86.6%, while graduation rates for students of color fell by 1 percentage point to 76.1%.

American Indian students saw the sharpest decline, with a graduation rate of 64.5% in 2021, down

from 66.7% in 2020. Black students saw their graduation rate fall by 0.6 percentage points to 76%, while Hispanic students fell by 1.2 percentage points to 74.2%.

Graduation rates also fell for students with limited English proficiency, economic disadvantages, those experiencing homelessness SEE GRADUATION, P16

VOICES

Breaking the silence on America’s silent revolution

A

merica is changing before our very eyes. The evolution is caused by the Coronavirus in a variety of ways.

CROSS The attitudes toward “working CURRENTS for the man,” so to speak, are clearly in a state of flux among some demographic/economic groups. In particular, those who have worked for years in service-related jobs Bill Christopher such as restaurants, bars, hotels and nursing homes have experienced an unusual number of employees who have left their jobs.

It all started with the federal pandemic assistance payments Americans received. Subsequently, they have taken early retirement or found better-paying work in a different occupation. Some have become self-employed or simply chose to quit working.

Some of these options will prove to be short-term while others may

be permanent. Regardless, people have made up their minds to seek change and pursue what they consider to be an incrementally better life for themselves and their families.

How has this come about? The first 12 months of the COVID virus and the quarantining we all went through gave people an opportunity to confront their lives, contemplate their quality of life and decide if they wanted something better. They asked themselves if there was a better life “out there” than working two or three part-time jobs - usually without benefits. In a related manner, they asked themselves if there was an opportunity to be with their families more than what had become the norm.

In other words, they decided to take the initiative to change their employment and seek a more fulfilling life.

Revolting from a humdrum lifestyle As part of this phenomenon, employees saw a new opportunity given the number of unfilled jobs. They noticed employers raising hourly

compensation and offering perks or benefits which had not previously been offered. They saw the impacts of a broken supply chain. They saw their “worth” being enhanced in the economic morass that the pandemic had created and they seized upon it.

While this has created havoc in certain lines of businesses - and especially in the restaurant, bar and entertainment arenas - the opportunity for people themselves has been a positive influence for them.

The “Great Resignation” is a part of what I call “The Silent Revolution.” People have revolted at what had become a “humdrum” life existence for them. A high percentage of them were coping with less than a “living wage” making it a huge challenge to “make ends meet.”

forts started with two Starbucks coffee establishments. We have seen more strikes initiated by unions that can see how vulnerable employers are short-staffed due to COVID or the phenomenon I described above.

Right in our own backyard, we have observed the union’s strike impacting 78 different King Soopers stores in the metro Denver area.

Higher wages, better benefits and safer working conditions are the mantras among these grocery workers. They are seeking a living wage.

Kellogg cereal workers recently settled their strike which started last October. Worcester, Massachusetts hospital workers and nurses recently ended a nine months strike.

There are more, but you get the point.

Increased labor union activity Another part of the Silent Revolution - which is not necessarily voiceless but grounded in the same economic influences - is a more active, aggressive and vocal labor union movement.

For example, we have seen such atypical collective bargaining ef-

Can we get back to the old normal?

So, what does it take to change this trend and “get back to normal?” I would say the “Silent Revolution” will be quite slow to transition back toward what we once thought was “normal.” In fact, I would speculate SEE CHRISTOPHER, P11

Fix medical billing practices to fix healthcare

H

ealthcare in the United States is at a crossroads. Over the last couple of years, we’ve had to confront the gaps in our healthcare system due to the pandemic.

GUEST But due to reconCOLUMN ciliation, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make lasting changes that will positively impact millions of Americans.

As a trans man with chronic illnesses, my experience Kris Garcia with the American healthcare system has been fraught with challenges. Most recently, I underwent surgery and due to complications stemming from the surgery, I was saddled with a bill of $172,000.

Unfortunately, my story is all too common in Colorado.

Medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcies in the United States, and in Colorado, medical debt affects people of color more than their White counterparts. In fact, 22 percent of Coloradans of color, twice the amount of White Coloradans, are facing debt-in-collection. Further-

more, 32.9 percent of African Americans and 21.7 percent of Hispanics have reported problems paying their medical bills.

What’s worse is that desperate Coloradans reported various ways to absolve their medical debt, which included taking out loans and going into credit card debt. A whopping 32.7 percent of Coloradans reported that they were unable to pay for basic necessities like food, heat and rent due to the financial burden that they were straddled with after receiving medical care.

I also live with chronic illnesses, all of which stem from hemophilia. Hemophilia is a rare disorder in which blood can’t clot properly due to a lack of clot-producing proteins. There are only a few ways to treat hemophilia, one of which includes receiving transfusions. Each infusion that I receive costs $40,000, and I need these infusions in addition to other medications every few months to manage my chronic illnesses. I work multiple jobs in order to cover my out-ofpocket medical costs, which often leads to my work hours being as high as 70-80 hours per week. And I know that I’m only one of several millions of Americans that are suffering from

the high cost of medical care.

A recent survey showed that 73 percent of Colorado voters said that the amount they pay for healthcare seems to be going up each year.

Furthermore, 61 percent of those voters said that they had at one time or another struggled to pay a medical bill even though they had insurance and 25 percent of those surveyed said that they actively have unpaid or past-due medical bills that they are having trouble paying off. A survey also showed that the majority of Coloradans agree that insurance deductibles should be low enough so that they don’t get in the way of the healthcare that patients need.

Despite the fact that Americans want affordable healthcare, insurance companies are set on lining their pockets. Accumulator adjustment programs are extremely prevalent in the American healthcare system; due to their prevalence, insurers save money by refusing to allow prescription drug coupons to count towards a person’s deductible. That leaves millions of Americans with unexpected out-of-pocket costs when it comes to filling their prescription drugs. And if any of these Americans are like me, that

could be deadly. When cost-sharing assistance provided on medications are not applied to insurance deductibles, the prevalence of high-deductible plans means that many patients like me could be asked to shoulder many thousands of dollars more and too many of us cannot afford to do so, even if our lives depend upon it.

It is far past the time to reform healthcare. We’re at a serious crossroads in our country’s history and we can make lasting healthcare reform that will lead to more compassion for all Americans suffering from chronic diseases or health crises. Our elected officials, beginning with Senator Bennet, need to come together to do what’s best for the American people and pass commonsense legislation that combats toxic billing practices in the reconciliation process.

that as a country, we will not experience returning to the old normal.

As long as a high percentage of Americans remain in denial about getting COVID vaccinations and boosters, the employment picture is not likely to change much. While the supply chain will gradually become less of a factor in the whole economic picture, people who fit the above-listed categories relating to employment will continue to “churn” and play havoc with the national employment picture.

If someone could wave a magic wand and the “no vax” folks would get the vaccines, we would see a significant change. But alas, this group is so fixated on the “Trump syndrome” that they will remain exposed to the virus and in turn can expose the rest of us. This is beyond good reason.

Don Tripp: Gone but his influence lingers It has been just shy of three months since the new Westminster Mayor and City Council took office and began changing the world order for the city government and its employees. With an interim city manager who has no prior city manager experience and too many experienced department heads now gone or leaving in the next few months, the city administration is floundering.

There is a clear shortage of an attentive and timely response to the City Council’s direction, expectations and questions. For councilors, it seems like they are having to fight staff who don’t think they have to listen.

Local politicos and citizens have noticed the reluctance and, in some cases the less than responsive treatment, by city staff. In particular, the whole set of water issues and the policy issue of cash-in-lieu of public land dedication revealed reluctant

positions to which he promoted them.

Finally, there is the interim city manager Jody Andrews. He was the only internal viable choice to step up to the city manager position knowing full well that he did not have city manager experience.

In my opinion, Jody is trying to make things work and learn to not only be in the #1 position but trying to lead a staff that has shown their reluctance to embrace the new directions of this mayor and city council.

Embracing new policy direction A part of the problem is the lack of experienced department heads.

The city has lost knowledgeable department leaders in police, finance, parks, recreation and libraries, general services and economic development. And now the fire chief has announced he will be retiring as of July, adding another key person with 43 years of experience to the list of departed leaders.

Such experience coupled with interim department heads in place impact this organization as it would any organization. Plus, there are some who are still there who were members of Don Tripp’s “good ole boys club” who were not and are still not qualified for the

“Get on board or leave” Folks, Don Tripp is gone and he ain’t coming back. Remember, he walked away smiling with $455,000 of our tax dollars. Just like former Mayor Herb Atchison, he is persona non grata.

So, if I were Jody Andrews, I would put out a clear ultimatum to “get on board or leave”. The current level of responsiveness and support of the mayor and council are not acceptable.

In my 36 years of working in the field of city management - plus the more recent 20 years as a local government observer and critic - I have never seen such an obstinate group of key staff - including some members of top management.

fternoon Tea was introduced in 1840 by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, to get her through the long period between lunch and dinner, not served in her abode until 8 p.m., according to Historic-UK.com.

That being the case, you might have surmised that Afternoon Tea consists of more than just a hot beverage. It always comes with scrummy nosh as well. You may find scones with clotted cream and freshly made jams, a tasty selection of sweet and savory pastries and finger sandwiches. And of course, there’s British-style biscuits to set you right.

You don’t have to be in England to enjoy Afternoon Tea. There are several places in the Queen City of the Plains (and surrounding areas) where you can have the experience.

Kathy Curry, visiting from Georgia with her two young daughters, said one of the things they looked most forward to this year was Afternoon Tea at the Brown.

“It’s magical,” Curry said. “It makes the girls feel like they’re princesses. And I love it too.”

Morgan Bobo handles press requests for the Brown. She said Afternoon Tea has been served at the Brown Palace since 1986.

“It’s presently hosted in the historic and stunning Atrium Lobby. Guests can enjoy a variety of teas topped with Devonshire cream shipped directly from England while listening to the soft sounds of the grand piano float through the lobby and natural light streaming through the stained-glass ceiling,” she said. “The rich history isn’t the only thing that makes the experience unique, as all of the honey utilized for tea service comes directly from the property’s rooftop bee colonies and can be purchased on property to take home.”

The Brown Palace does have perhaps the most storied Afternoon Tea in the metro area. But recent years have seen plenty of competition spring up from Castle Rock to Louisville and all spots in-between, keeping this decidedly British tradition alive and well in Colorado.

“It’s about the experience,” said Michael Herrera, proud Denver dad.

“My daughter loved being able to get dressed up to go to Tea.” Elaine Bryant and her husband, Joel, a trained chef, are the owners of The Lumber Baron, a historic Bed

and Breakfast in the Potter Highlands neighborhood. Bryant says they started offering Afternoon Tea about six months after opening the Inn because it seemed like such a natural fit. The Victorian mansion is the perfect setting for their traditional English tea service featuring a variety of fancy finger sandwiches, scones, crumpets and fresh cookies.

Bryant says she honed the customer service skills it takes to run a B&B serving up a different hot beverage — coffee — for Starbucks, where she worked for 13 years before becoming an Inn Keeper.

Speaking of kids, Bryant said they’re more than welcome and get the same white tablecloth and antique china treatment as anyone else.

“We love having children come to the High Tea,” she said. “And they love coming, The little girls, especially. They just know that it’s something special.”

If you haven’t taken Afternoon Tea before, here’s a primer: Tea comes by the pot, with different loose-leaf varieties to choose from, while the treats are always served family style, but on much fancier platters than your average chicken nachos. Price covers both tea and food per person. So, no need to fuss.

Inspiring the new generation of classical fans

M

ost people remember their first concert experience — it usually represents their tastes at the time or the direction COMING their musical ATTRACTIONS palette will grow.

So, starting with classical music is a great way to get children interested in the genre early.

That’s one of the aims behind the Lakewood Symphony Orchestra’s Clarke Reader annual children’s and family concert, which will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 5 at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Parkway.

According to conductor Matthew Switzer, the LSO’s children-centric concert has been around for more than 20 years and has remained a popular entry in its season. This year’s performance will be of the immortal “Peter and the Wolf.” It will also feature a young guest conductor conducting the orchestra in John Williams’ “Imperial March.”

We spoke to Switzer about the tradition, selecting music for all ages and more: Interview edited for clarity and brevity.

Why is it important that the symphony offers a child-centric concert like this?

This concert is offered to introduce classical music to young people in a comfortable environment

with their parents. The concert continues to feature new and exciting ways for the audience to discover what makes “music.” Sometimes, the audience writes a composition, sometimes they create a story to music and occasionally they find out crazy things about how instruments are made. Of course, we always offer a narrated story with music to finish off the concert.

Tell me about this year’s concert.

There will be demonstrations of the various families of instruments in the orchestra with individual looks of how different instruments produce sound. Of course, we will have to build at least one supersized instrument on stage. After that is concluded, the orchestra will perform “Peter and the Wolf” with guest narrator, Joel Hillan. “Peter and the Wolf” is a famous work by Sergei Prokofiev that uses many of the instruments in the orchestra to portray the various characters in the story. This is a great way to reintroduce our family concerts after last year when we were unable to present one.

As the conductor, what makes a show for children special/ unique?

Family shows must be more than just playing and talking about the works being performed. They need to be inventive, engaging, and hopefully, if every person leaves wondering a bit more about music and how interesting it can be, we will have accomplished our goal.

and policies of the Westminster Forward plans are actionable relative to land development, is integral to our existing and future businesses; and the ability for us to continue to provide a competitive environment for our local economy,” she said.

Carpenter agrees.

“I’m not looking for economic incentives but really making sure that our businesses that have survived the pandemic are being partnered with the city to go in and make sure that they’re able to expand or make their minor changes to their business,” he said.

Grover Sardeson thinks there are too many bureaucratic hoops to jump through. He said he has heard stories of businesses trying to work with the city on issues such as outdoor dining and nothing came from the efforts.

“Make sure that the roadblocks to a business, the regulatory aspects, are minimal,” he said.

Public Saftey and Homelessness Staudt would like to see more support for the police, and Steve Donelson echoed that sentiment. “(there is) not quite as much support for police as I had seen prior to the last three or four years,” Staudt said.

Donelson thinks many residents agree.

“I think people are concerned about making sure that police and

fire departments in Westminster are strong,” Donelson said.

As well, Carpenter thinks homelessness needs to be addressed in tandem with crime rates.

“Unfortunately, where the highest crime rates are (where) the highest homeless population,” he said.

Sardeson said he thinks there needs to be more mental resources for the homeless, which he thinks can also solve crime.

Unity Many residents noted that the city is divided on issues and they do not want to see politically driven decisions made by council.

“People don’t want to see these factions, they don’t want to see this divisiveness,” said Donelson.

“People want to see common sense, we can agree to disagree.”

Colorado public schools enrollment declines Declining birth rates, coupled with COVID disruptions drives down numbers

BY ERICA BREUNLIN COLORADO SUN

Student enrollment has continued declining across Colorado public schools, with the state counting about 1,200 fewer students in kindergarten through 12th grade this fall than last year, when enrollment in preschool through high school plunged by about 30,000 students.

State officials largely attributed last year’s enrollment slump — which was the first of its kind reported in more than 30 years — to parents’ pandemic-driven decisions. Many held off on enrolling kids in preschool and kindergarten while other families switched to homeschooling or online education programs. And the Colorado Department of Education, which on Wednesday released enrollment numbers from a count conducted in October, expected that enrollment numbers would increase again within the next few years.

But the dip in K-12 students this year points to an underlying issue that has nothing to do with the pandemic: declining birth rates.

The drop in student count this year isn’t some kind of “COVID blip,” said Brian Eschbacher, a Denver-based independent education consultant who previously served as executive director of planning and enrollment for Denver Public Schools. Declining birth rates are having a trickle-down effect on K-12 enrollment, with education being “the first government institution that is going to feel the impacts of a shrinking country,” Eschbacher said.

“It is absolutely here and it is not going to get better and our school systems don’t know how to deal with it,” he said.

Declining numbers could spell financial trouble for some school districts, because district budgets are largely determined by pupil counts.

“The reality is fewer kids does equate to less funding in many cases,” said Kate Bartlett, executive director of school district operations for the state education department.

During fiscal year 2021, Colorado had 61,970 births, down about 9,000 from 2007, a peak year that saw 70,777 births, according to state demographer Elizabeth Garner. The decrease comes even though Colora-

do has more women of childbearing age, Garner said.Colorado districts across metro, suburban and rural communities showed enrollment declines, as did schools in cities and towns of all sizes across the country, Eschbacher said.

The state, which measures student enrollment in 178 school districts each year, tallied 855,482 K-12 students this year — down 1,174 students from fall 2020. DPS, Colorado’s largest school district, counted about 84,200 K-12 students this year, down from 85,400 students last year.

DPS was already seeing enrollment decreasing, first at the elementary school level, which fed into a dip in middle school enrollment “in the last year or two,” said Liz Mendez, executive director of enrollment and campus planning for the district.

“We were already seeing a decline moving through our system based on population dynamic changes,” Mendez said, citing decreasing birth rates.

Soaring home prices in Denver are also factoring into the district’s enrollment downturn, she added.

“A lot of families have moved out of the Denver boundary because they can no longer afford housing,” Mendez said.

DPS officials anticipate that declining birth rates will continue to drive down enrollment in the future.

When asked about the decline in K-12 enrollment this school year, Bartlett, of the state education department pointed to increased mobility among students as one critical driver.

“There’s just a lot of variability and mobility within the system overall,” Bartlett said, citing students moving, switching school choices and the possibility of immigrant families returning to their home countries.

Future school enrollments could possibly swell depending on student numbers in preschool and kindergarten, particularly as the state expands its preschool program in fall 2023 and as it continues offering free, full-day kindergarten.

Enrollment in preschool and kindergarten this school year bucked the trend of K-12 enrollment, with preschool enrollment climbing by 4,478 students — a nearly 17% increase over last year. Schools are educating 3,868 more kindergarteners than they did last year, which amounts to a year-over-year increase of about 7%.

More students in those grades could translate to higher student counts in subsequent grades down the road.

Bartlett is encouraged by the boost in enrollment among Colorado’s youngest learners, particularly preschoolers.

“I am a huge believer in early childhood education,” she said, “and the more students we have engaged in the system earlier, the better outcomes I hope we can deliver for them.”

Eschbacher sees increases in preschool and kindergarten enrollment as modest after schools suffered the greatest enrollment losses in those grades last year. The state reported a 23.3% drop in preschool enrollment

and a 9.1% decrease in kindergarten enrollment last year.

So many parents held back their 4- and 5-year-olds amid the pandemic last year, he said, that “some percentage of them rejoined districts this year.”

Demographic shifts in schools could stem from state’s population changes With the spread of COVID, particularly the omicron variant, still challenging schools’ abilities to keep classes in person, the pandemic is also tamping down K-12 enrollment in Colorado.

The number of students opting for home-schooling this school year is 10,502, a third fewer than the 15,773 students home-schooled in fall 2020.

However, the number of homeschooled kids in the state remains much higher than the 7,880 kids who were home-schooled in 2019, before the pandemic. Many students are also choosing to learn through online educational programs — 31,382, compared with 32,034 who did their classes online last year, according to figures from the state education department.

Public school demographics are also shifting statewide, according to enrollment figures. The state’s population of Hispanic students enrolled in schools jumped by 4,357 students to 306,215 total. Meanwhile, fewer white students showed up to public schools this year, with 3,106 fewer students counted than last year. The state recorded 460,186 white students this school year.

Those shifts could be indicative of broader population changes in Colorado. The percent of white residents living in Colorado dropped by 0.2% from 2010 to 2020, translating to a decrease of nearly 6,300 people, according to 2020 census data. In the same time period, Colorado’s Hispanic or Latino population rose by 21.6%, increasing by more than 224,700 people.

“The overall demographic of Colorado is becoming less white and more diverse,” said Van Schoales, senior policy director of the

GRADUATION FROM PAGE 9

and those from migrant families.

The graduation rate for migrant students fell by 4.7 percentage points in 2021 to 67%.

The graduation rate for students with disabilities climbed by 4.6 percentage points to 66.4%.

The state’s completion rate, which measures how many students either graduate high school, obtain a certificate or GED also fell to 83.2% in 2021 from 83.4% the year before.

The state’s dropout rate remained at 1.8% in 2021, the same as the year before, and the lowest mark in a decade. About a quarter of districts reported their dropout rates were lower than in 2020.

Many districts are utilizing the

Keystone Policy Center, a nonprofit research group. “I think that the schools would reflect that.”

While Colorado is facing decreasing birth rates, its general population has grown by 14.8% from 20102020, according to 2020 census data.

“Only time will tell if that will help sort of steady K-12 enrollment,” said Maya Lagana, a contractor for the Keystone Policy Center.

Bartlett, of the state education department, also cautioned against making broad assumptions about enrollment changes in the state, emphasizing the importance of looking at changes district by district.

That’s important in terms of state’s new graduation guidelines, which take effect for the class of 2022, to provide students with “multiple pathways” toward degree completion, including work-based learning, apprenticeships and concurrent enrollment, according to a news release from the Colorado Department of Education.

“We know how tough it was for everyone last school year due to the challenges brought on by the pandemic with schools going to remote learning and others offering hybrid models,” said Katy Anthes, Colorado’s education commissioner in a statement. “It is a relief that the graduation rate is nearly the same as it was the previous year. With the state’s dropout rate also nearly unchanged, it is a concrete display of the dedication and determination of Colorado’s students, parents and teachers, especially during these

both demographics and enrollment numbers. More than 60 Colorado districts tallied fewer students this school year, but 115 districts experienced a bump in enrollment.

Colorado has devised a funding mechanism to assist districts struggling with flagging student enrollment.

A state formula that seeks to average out funding is meant to help soften the blow, providing funding to districts based on their current year of student enrollment or an average of two, three, four or five years —whichever results in the highest student count.

But the averaging provision won’t solve the entire funding problem for districts.

“Colorado does not fund public education as well as a lot of states,” DPS chief financial officer Chuck Carpenter said, “and certainly a decline in enrollment plus state funding is a challenge for all school districts, not just Denver.”

Rhonda BlanfordGreen was the first African-American female commissioner in the history of the 103-yearold National Federation of High Schools, according to CHSAANow. Blanfordcom. Blanford-Green, Green who was a star athlete at Aurora Central High School, rejoined CHSAA in 2017. She’d been an assistant and associate commissioner with CHSAA from 1996 to 2012.

Blanford-Green was Robinson the executive director at the Nebraska School Activities Association from 2012 to 2015 and was an assistant executive director

at the Louisiana High School Athletic Association from 2015 to 2017.

“I love my job, this staff, and the membership, and I have been proud to serve the students and member schools of Colorado, and to lead one of the best associations in the nation,” Blanford-Green said in a statement on CHSAANow.com. “I look forward to viewing from the sidelines as they continue to raise the bar on education-based athletics and activities.”

Blanford-Green introduced digital platforms that improved education, operations, outreach and communication, chsaanow.com said. She also created a handbook committee to help facilitate collaborative statewide discussions before CSHAA’s board of directors turned them into bylaws. The website said studentathletes were able to complete all 31 seasons and other related events during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Someone has to captain the ship, but it took a collective effort from leaders at all levels across the state to make that happen for the

mental and physical well-being of our student athletes that have been negatively impacted by COVID,” Blanford-Green said in the CHSAANow.com statement.

Blanford-Green was an 18-time All-American in track and field at the University of Nebraska. After college, she qualified twice for the U.S. Olympic Trails and then coached at Aurora Central and Eaglecrest high schools and the University of Wyoming before joining the CHSAA. The other retiree is associate Commissioner Tom Robinson. He graduated from Colorado State University (he played football, basketball and ran track and field) in 1969. He started officiating that summer. CHSAANow.com said his first teaching job was at Regis Jesuit High School in 1969. He also coached several sports, including basketball from 1983-1993).

He joined CHSAA in 2001.

For all 20 years at CHSAA, Robinson has overseen officials, the sportsmanship program, as well as boys and girls golf.

“I’ve met so many great people along the way,” Robinson said on CHSAANow.com “The CHSAA, a unique set of people dedicated to education-based activities and athletics, made my life fuller and more whole.”

Robinson is the president of the National Association of Sports Officials and the replay coordinator for the Big-12 Conference.

“On behalf of the board and the association, I want to thank Rhonda and Tom for their service,” CHSAA Board of Directors President Luke DeWolfe said. “The association owes a great debt of gratitude to both of them. They have truly exemplified what educationally-based athletics are about. Through their combined efforts, they have helped to make Colorado one of the most respected interscholastic athletic associations in the country.

“We will miss them dearly but are happy and excited for them to begin a new chapter in their lives. We wish them nothing but the best moving forward.”
