Six candidates running for Westminster school board

BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Six candidates are running for three open school board seats in the 8,000-student Westminster district’s rst contested board election in six years.

One incumbent, Christine Martinez, is running for reelection. Two others, board President Ken Cianco and Vice President Max Math, are term-limited and are not running. at means voters will elect at least two and possibly three newcomers to the ve-member board in the Nov. 7 election.

Martinez has joined with candidates Audrey Yanos and Mary Beth Murphy to run as a slate that has the backing of the district’s teachers union. Generally, they say the district is headed in the right direction and should stay the course.

e other three candidates — Anthony Sisneros and husband-andwife team Charles and Brenda Gallegos — are also running as a slate. ey are seeking changes, including to improve student achievement and

Colorado foundation bets on new charter and private schools seats

BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO

A Denver foundation wants to help create tens of thousands of new seats in the state’s charter schools and other settings outside district-run public schools at a time when Colorado’s school-age population is shrinking.

e e ort, launched by the conservative-leaning Daniels Fund last year, is part of a larger initiative foundation leaders are calling the Education Big Bet. e goal is to put 100,000 more students in what the Daniels Fund calls “choice seats” by 2030 in a fourstate region that includes Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and New Mexico.

Tapping into both the pandemicera appetite for alternative forms of schooling and worries about COVID’s impact on learning, Daniels Fund leaders say the Big Bet is about meeting the needs of students and families.

On its face, the creation of so many new seats in charter schools, private schools, and homeschool programs could leave Colorado’s traditional public schools hurting. Many Colora-

do districts, including Denver, Je co, Aurora, and Mesa County Valley, are already facing the prospect of closing schools as enrollment declines. A urry of new schools or seats could intensify the competition for students and put more nancial stress on school districts, leading them to shut down some of their own schools. But while the foundation’s goal is ambitious, its investment in the Big Bet is modest. In 2022, when the effort launched, the foundation spent $10 million on the initiative in the four-state region — about 20% more than it had spent on K-12 grants the year before.

e Daniels Fund, which was established with the fortune of the late billionaire cable executive Bill Daniels, is best known for its generous college scholarships. Foundation leaders say if the Big Bet is successful, the number of students learning outside district-run public schools will grow from 350,000 to 450,000 across the four states by the end of the decade —a nearly 30% increase.

Hanna Skandera, the foundation’s president and CEO, said education

isn’t one-size- ts-all and that families want options so kids can pursue their passions.

“ ere’s nothing more powerful than giving parents and kids the opportunity to have a great education,” she said.

It’s not yet clear what the Big Bet means for students and schools in Colorado or the other three states. Experts say philanthropic e orts like the Big Bet that promote charter school growth or private school options under the banner of market competition aren’t new, though they also note that most parents give their own child’s school good marks.

A variety of groups have received grants through the Big Bet so far, including a new agriculture-focused charter school north of Denver, a group that gives private school scholarships to lower-income students, and a nonpro t that makes grants to home-school co-ops and tiny private schools, often referred to as microschools.

e Daniels Fund doesn’t plan to pay for all the new seats its leaders hope to create.

“We aren’t trying to do this alone,” said Luke Ragland, the fund’s senior vice president of grants. “We’re denitely looking to rally partners.”

Currently, the foundation has no formal Big Bet partners, but Ragland said potential partners could include other foundations, education entrepreneurs, and even families.

Je rey Henig, a professor of political science and education at Columbia University, said although the Daniels Fund is using private money for the Big Bet, it’s helping create infrastructure that could shift public money and support away from the traditional public school system.

“Giving some kids a better shot of getting out of their public schools may come with a big price tag in terms of democracy and public accountability,” he said.

Skandera said critics are taking an unfortunate “zero-sum view of school choice.”

“Choice programs that help students nd a school that meets their unique needs usually helps both that individual student and their public school peers, something backed by signi cant amounts of research,” Skandera said, citing a report from EdChoice.

ree-quarters of the 100,000 new

choice seats Daniels Fund leaders hope to add over the next six years are slated to be in charter schools. About 40,000 of those will be in Colorado, representing nearly 30% more charter enrollment than there is today.

Research shows that expanding charter schools puts nancial stress on school districts and may require them to shut down some of their own schools.

About 15% of Colorado students already attend charter schools — one of the highest rates in the country —and the sector has grown steadily for years. But charter schools, which are publicly funded but independently run, sometimes face the same struggles traditional public schools do, including declining enrollment and spotty academic performance.

Still, charter openings often outpace charter closings. Following the closure of two Colorado charter schools at the end of the 2021-22 school year, seven new ones opened in the fall of 2022, according to the Colorado Department of Education.

e STEAD School, a charter high school in Commerce City north of Denver, is one recent addition to Colorado’s charter school landscape. It opened in 2021 and recently landed a $280,000 Big Bet grant from the Daniels Fund that will help with sta training and curriculum planning over two years. e school — which has a soil and seed lab and takes its students to the National Western Stock Show every January — focuses on agriculture and science.

Amy Schwartz, the school’s cofounder and board chair, said STEAD leaders always planned to scale up to about 700 students, up from 273 this year in grades 9 through 11. So the Big Bet grant isn’t driving STEAD’s expansion, but without it, “the quality of our curriculum and instruction wouldn’t be where it is,” she said.

Schwartz said STEAD launched during a period of rapid growth in the Brighton-based 27J district, which authorized the charter school.

In addition to providing a unique academic focus, the school came at a time when the district “just couldn’t build school buildings fast enough,” she said.

e STEAD School has the state’s highest green rating this year.

Uplands groundbreaking draws star-studded guest list and protesters

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In keeping with promises to deliver thousands of a ordable homes, the groundbreaking for what’s called the Uplands’ included something for almost everyone: local food from Westminster’s Valente’s Deli, craft beer from hometown brewery Kokopelli’s, music by the Westminster High School drumline, balloons, bulldozers and star power in the form of speeches from local, county and state dignitaries.

All of it unfolded under a brilliantly sunny late September sky.

e hosts of the private event did not, however, extend an invitation to neighboring homeowners, many of whom have fought the project for years. Several of them protested the Sept. 27 groundbreaking and then continued the following day, standing at the entrance of the old farm property with signs reading, “Save the Farm,” “No Uplands development” and “Who paid who?”

Historically a working farm, 2,350 homes will be built on it. ose homes will be developed in a mix of styles and price points, including singlefamily houses, townhomes and apartments, including rentals. e 234-acre project is a partner-

ship that includes Oread Capital & Development, Varde Partners, Peak Development, and Dream Finders Homes.

While supporters of Uplands say many of the homes will be a ordable, price points have yet to be set.

“ e rst homes will begin construction in 2025, so prices won’t be determined until closer to that date since there are so many factors, like the price and availability of materials,” said Sara O’Keefe, a consultant hired to help the Uplands developers with communication. “We have a tremendous amount of horizontal infrastructure to get in place before we can start building homes.” It’s taken about a decade for the project to get to this point. Oread Capital president Je Handlin joked at the ceremony that he had hair when he began work on the Uplands.

“Today we stand at the threshold of something extraordinary,” he said. “ e Uplands was never intended to be just another housing development. From the beginning, our vision was to create a model of sustainability and a ordability, with plentiful missing middle housing. And above all, we were passionate about leading

Former Adams County sheri , top o cials arrested, accused of lying

BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL THE COLORADO SUN

A former Adams County sheri , undersheri and division chief were arrested this week after they were accused of lying about the number of training hours o cers completed in order to meet annual requirements, the Colorado Attorney General announced ursday.

Rick Reigenborn, a former sheri for the county, Tommie McLallen, a former undersheri and Mickey Bethel, a former division chief, face four felony charges, including forgery and attempt to in uence a public servant, court records show.

Under Colorado law, law enforcement o cers are required to complete a minimum of 24 hours of annual in-service training, which includes at least 12 hours of skills training related to driving, rearms and arrest control. An o cer’s certi cation can be suspended if they fail to meet the training requirements and a law enforcement agency can lose access to grant funds if its o cers fall out of compliance with rules under the state’s Peace O cer Standards and Training, which oversees the training and certi cation of o cers across the state.

Reigenborn, McLallen and Bethel, who worked for one of the state’s largest law enforcement agencies in the state, are accused of signing various training rosters for classes they didn’t attend and submitting certi cates to POST in an attempt to count the ctitious trainings toward their mandatory annual training hours, according to court documents.

Arrest a davits stated that Bethel allegedly used McLallen’s account password to log into one of McLallen’s accounts to complete training for McLallen. Adam County Sheri ’s O ce Commander James Hinrichs reported the breach to POST in a letter, court documents said. Without counting the fraudulent trainings, Reigenborn and McLallen lacked su cient hours needed to meet the in-service training requirements for 2021.

Sgt. JD Cordova, who worked at the sheri ’s o ce’s training facility,

told state investigators Reigenborn, McLallen and Bethel had been falsifying records for four years. He said he didn’t report them fearing he would lose chances at being promoted, but agged people in the agency’s internal system for whistleblowing, court documents said.

Colorado law allows for the Attorney General to bring criminal charges or impose nes if POST training standards are violated.

“A foundation of e ective policing is reliable and sound training,” Attorney General Phil Weiser said in a statement ursday. “Well-trained o cers build community trust and con dence in law enforcement. We’ll continue to take seriously any allegation of e orts to disregard state-mandated training or submit fraudulent training records to POST.”

Reigenborn was Adams County’s top in command from 2018 to 2022 and lost his re-election last year after Colorado Public Radio reported that his o ce was under a state criminal investigation.

e investigation was launched by Colorado Bureau of Investigation and POST in January 2022 after a complaint was made about possible fraud.

Investigators sent Colorado Opens Records Act requests to the Adams County Sheri ’s O ce to review the former sheri and top o cials’ Outlook calendars, internet browsing histories, keycard usage data and training records, arrest a davits stated.

No information was available about upcoming court appearances. According to the state’s peace ofcer database, both McLallen and Bethel “retired while under investigation.”

If convicted of a felony, their POST certi cation could be revoked.

water conservation, design innovation, and thoughtful placemaking.”

He was anked by o cials, including Gov. Jared Polis.

Polis praised Uplands’ planned mix of housing types, public parks, bike lanes and e cient water usage.

Like much of the Western U.S., Colorado su ers from an acute housing shortage, pushing up home prices and rents and also causing homelessness. Municipal and state o cials have been struggling against intense local opposition to increase housing construction and ease these pressures.

“ is project will be an inspiration for other parts of Colorado, and indeed across the country,” Polis said. “It’s exactly the kind of development we need more of. “We have a major problem with lack of housing in Colorado. We simply need more units that individuals and families can a ord. ese homes will be accessible for rst-time home buyers, seniors looking to downsize, young professionals and so many others. Not only that, but this community is being built with a ordability, mobility and sustainability as the foundation.”

Polis has made creation of a ord-

able housing a priority in the past year. In August, he issued an executive order to streamline developments that are centered around transit. In issuing that order, his o ce stated that nearly one in three Colorado households spend more than 30% of their income on housing and the state is expected to add an estimated 1.72 million more people by 2050.

Westminster Mayor Nancy McNally also praised developers for compromises in the planning process, including reducing some of the originally proposed density and preserving popular mountain viewpoints.

“ e Uplands has listened,” she said. “ ey heard the community. ey heard us as a council. I can’t thank you enough for caring about the community.”

Adams County Commissioner Steve O’Dorisio and Westminster Public School Deputy Superintendent Dr. Jeni Gotto also gave short speeches, citing bene ts the development will bring to the region and the school district.

Meanwhile, protesting neighbors, who stayed at the entrance to the groundbreaking event for hours, view the development in a very different light. ey’re disappointed to see the project moving forward, and said many questions remain. John Palmer, a 60-year area

resident whose Lowell Boulevard home is across the street from the site, opposes the development and believes multi-story housing shouldn’t be built there. “Multistory units are not conducive to our neighborhood.: e existing housing, he adds, ”is all singlefamily detached homes.”

Palmer’s many concerns also include water runo and potential ooding he believes could result from converting open land to a development with large areas of hard surface and increased tra c.

Palmer doesn’t feel heard. “ Our city council … they not once lis-

tened to our community concerns or needs. It was all basically rubber stamped for the convenience of the developer.”

And he feels housing costs will not be as a ordable as the developers say.

Karen Ray, a resident of the adjacent Shaw Heights neighborhood and a member of the Save the Farm citizens group, said that opponents fought the development for years.

“Most importantly the priority was around the open space,” she said. “It’s pristine, beautiful land, and it’s been a landmark in this city for over 100 years.”

She worries for the character of the neighborhood.

“It’ll completely change the dynamic of this whole area,” she said.

School districts nationwide could face financial peril next year. Here’s how Colorado is preparing.

BY ERICA BREUNLIN THE COLORADO SUN

High above the elds of Alamosa this past summer, kids steered a drone and peered at the aerial views it captured, learning not just how to y the device but also how to use it to solve math problems. In the rural stretch of southern Colorado, that means analyzing a circle of hay recorded by the drone and calculating its dimensions.

Summer school, at least in Alamosa, was suddenly cool.

Alamosa School District RE-11J rounded out its summer school program with more hands-on activities thanks to federal stimulus dollars that help students learn in more creative ways. But once those funds run out by the fall of next year, the district of 2,055 students wonders whether it will be able to keep teaching kids over the summer months in ways that ignite excitement for learning.

Eliminating summer school could be one of the drastic measures districts nd themselves taking, or at least weighing, in the near future. School districts across

After an asbestos abatement at Ortega Middle School was complete, they were able to install a quality HVAC air control system, replace the old carpet with new flooring material and upgrade the lighting so it is brighter, as well as comforting. This is one of the new hallways. The previous school years, students and teachers had to endure some temperatures that were at times in the upper 80s, without air conditioning.

the country are speeding toward a scal cli with budgets facing a potential bottleneck next year, constrained by a convergence of factors. Among them: the end of

federal COVID relief dollars next September, declining enrollment in many districts — which often means those districts receive less state funding — and in ation add-

ing to districts’ expenses.

One national expert frames the 2024-25 school year as “the bloodletting.”

“It’s the kind of cut that can’t go unnoticed,” said Marguerite Roza, a research professor and director of Georgetown University’s Edunomics Lab, a research center that focuses on education nance and works to inform education policy.

“I really think we haven’t had a large-scale seismic shrinking of the system like this before.”

And it will pin many districts into di cult decisions, Roza noted. Some districts may lay o sta members, such as librarians and school counselors, while others might contemplate axing extracurricular activities like mock trial or Advanced Placement classes, she said. Some districts may also enact hiring freezes, consider closing schools or increase class sizes. e most precipitous change on the horizon, Roza said, is the sunsetting of federal dollars deployed to school districts to help them steer through the uncertainties and

Health exchange open for Coloradans dropped from Medicaid rolls

BY ERIC GALATAS

Coloradans who were dropped from the state’s Medicaid health insurance plan, Health First Colorado, can sign up for new coverage before open enrollment o cially kicks o on Nov. 1.

Kevin Patterson, CEO of Connect For Health Colorado, explained even in you earn too much to qualify for Medicaid, most people can get nancial assistance, and two in three customers can nd a plan for $25 a month or less.

“75% of all of our customers received nancial help, and the

average net premium after that nancial help for customers who quali ed was $143.”

In July, nearly 70,000 Coloradans were dropped from Medicaid, yet 50,000 were still eligible, according to state data. Coloradans who lost coverage, or experienced other qualifying life-changing events, are eligible to sign up during a 60 day Special Enrollment Period.

e state’s one-stop marketplace, where you can re-enroll or test out new plans and prices, is available at ConnectForHealthCO.com.

Open enrollment in Colorado o cially kicks o November 1st and ends on January 15th.

Dr. Rhonda Randall, chief medi-

cal o cer of UnitedHealthcare’s commercial operations, said it is important to compare plans and make a choice that best ts your family’s needs. Some plans with lower monthly premiums, for example, may have higher outof-pocket costs, and many o er special bene ts.

“Many plans include things like dental, vision, hearing, critical illness and other specialty bene ts that can contribute to your overall wellbeing and help lower your out-of-pocket costs,” she explained.

Patterson said certi ed insurance brokers and enrollment assisters are available to help walk

you through what can be a complicated process by calling 855752-6749. ese experts also o er a continuum of assistance to help you stay covered if your situation changes down the road.

“We have brokers literally in every corner of the state that are certi ed under Connect For Health Colorado,” Patterson continued. “You’ll see it on their windows as you walk in, or on their website; that can help see that you qualify for some sort of insurance.”

create more opportunities for parents to be heard and get involved.

Westminster’s board members are elected on an “at large” basis, which means candidates represent the whole school district, not one speci c area.

e top three vote-getters will win seats.

e board race comes at a time of transition for the suburban school district north of Denver, with longtime Superintendent Pamela Swanson set to leave her post at the end of the school year.

Like many Colorado districts, Westminster is also facing declining enrollment. Between 2016 and 2021, the district lost more than 1,400 students — a 15% drop.

Here’s a closer look at the six candidates:

Brenda Gallegos describes herself as a concerned parent, not a politician. She said it’s time for a school board with new voices and more debate. Currently, “I feel like we’re kind of spinning our tires in mud,” she said. “We have the same people. We have the same ideas.”

Gallegos, who works at a vision clinic, has three daughters and one son. Two of her daughters attend school in the district. Increasing school security is one of her priorities. She said she wants to have school resource o cers placed at the district’s K-8 schools and to ensure more oversight of school hallways.

Like other members of her slate, Gallegos said she wants to ensure that the district listens to and involves parents. When one of her daughters struggled with reading in elementary school, she said Westminster educators dismissed her concerns, prompting her to move her daughter temporarily to the neighboring Je co district, where the girl was tested and given a special education plan.

As a Spanish speaker, Gallegos said she could serve as a liaison between the board and Spanish-speaking parents in the district.

competency-based system, in which students master a topic before moving to the next one, but said too many students are still struggling.

“Why are there still so many students at the bottom?” he said.

Gallegos said he wants to help build stronger parent teacher organizations throughout the district.

Anthony Sisneros is making his second run for a school board seat, after a loss in 2011. He said if he’s elected, he’ll seek to ensure that students with disabilities get the same school choices as other students and will push for a national search to select the next superintendent.

A Westminster High School graduate, Sisneros is the assistant controller at the MSU Denver Foundation. He has three children, including a son with Down syndrome who was at the center of a complaint led by the Sisneros family against the district after the boy was denied placement at the family’s preferred school. e U.S. Department of Education’s O ce of Civil Rights ruled in favor of the district in December 2022, but Sisneros said his family has appealed the decision. In the meantime, the son attends a private school.

“ rough all these headaches of trying to nd a school for my son, I could have easily put up a for sale sign and moved,” he said. “I’m here to ght for the kids and families that look like mine.”

Sisneros said that if he’s elected, he wants to close a policy loophole that he alleges has allowed a current board member who is an architect to receive lucrative district contracts. He described it as a con ict of interest.

District o cials said the district has complied with board policies in awarding contracts to DAO Architecture, which board member Dan Orecchio owns. ey also said Orecchio has recused himself from votes on contracts with his rm and led a con ict of interest disclosure with the Colorado Secretary of State’s o ce saying that he planned to continue doing business with the district after his election.

are going on in district schools. She cited a recent trip to South Korea by district high-schoolers participating in a “drone soccer” tournament and the planned transformation of a former middle school into a career and technical education hub.

Martinez sees declining enrollment as the biggest challenge facing the district. She said it’s important to bring back students who have left and to recruit new ones as well.

Mary Beth Murphy is a retired teacher who said she’s not coming in with a speci c agenda other than to ensure students get the best free public education possible.

“I’m not angry about anything,” she said. “I’m not running on a grievance campaign. I really believe in public education.”

Murphy is the director of the Central Adams UniServ Unit, an organization that supports four local teachers unions. She retired last year after more than 30 years in the Mapleton district, most recently as a math teacher. She has four adult children, two of whom attended schools in the Westminster district.

Shortfalls in school funding and teacher shortages are among the biggest challenges facing the Westminster district, she said.

Murphy said hasn’t thought much about the selection of a new superintendent, but said she hopes for someone who is a good leader, honest and upfront.

Audrey Yanos said as a Chicana who was the rst in her family to nish high school and attend college, she represents the community.

“I know what path our students are walking in,” she said.

Yanos, an operations supervisor at a healthcare nonpro t, attended K-12 schools in the nearby Adams 12 and Adams 14 districts. She has three children in Westminster schools— one each in elementary, middle, and high school. She volunteered on a committee supporting a 2018 school district tax measure and has been active in the PTAs at her children’s schools.

“It takes a village,” she said. “Let’s use our village.”

Charles Gallegos said improving student achievement and increasing parent engagement are his main reasons for running for school board.

An optometrist and Navy veteran, he graduated from Westminster High School and was the rst in his family to attend college. He has three daughters and one son. Two of his daughters attend district schools.

He said he supports the district’s

Christine Martinez, the incumbent, said she’s running again to continue the work begun during her rst term, including helping the district recover from COVID and selecting a new superintendent.

e vice president of a local property management company, Martinez is a Westminster High School graduate, the daughter of two retired district teachers, and the mother of a seventh-grade son who attends school in the district.

Martinez said she wants to promote and share the many positive things that

”I love our school district,” she said.

If elected, she wants to continue educating the community about the district’s competency-based system, in which students are grouped by what content they’ve mastered, not necessarily by grade.

Yanos said the district is headed in the right direction and that its biggest challenge is the transition that will come with having a new superintendent.

PREPARING

disruptions of the pandemic. at money, distributed to districts in three rounds under the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund, or ESSER, will all be gone by within a year. Districts must spend money they received through the third installment by September 2024, and districts will feel the void once those funds are depleted, Roza said.

“In many districts, that money has become the kind of new normal in district (budgets),” she said. “We go three years with some ESSER money in there, then it feels like a budget cut if it’s gone, even though they’ve always known it was temporary.”

e average district has relied on ESSER funding to prop up its budget by about 8%, she said, “so to lose 8% of its budget once is a big deal.”

And about half of ESSER funding nationally has been earmarked for labor expenses, Roza said.

“So if you’re thinking about that being 4% of your kind of recurring labor budget, then you can imagine districts don’t really know how to cut 4% in a year,” she said. “It becomes a little bit more problematic.”

Mark Sass, executive director of Teach Plus Colorado, worries about the impacts to both educators and students as districts adjust to fewer dollars in their co ers. Should districts trim their sta , he said the state could reverse the progress it has made in bringing more teachers of color into classrooms over the past handful of years.

Sass, whose organization trains teachers to help shape policy, also has concerns that schools “may miss out on an opportunity here to rethink how we deploy and use labor within school districts.”

Districts, he said, cling to “an antiquated system that sees each teacher, each person in the building as performing the same, doing the same work without di erentiating at all.” If sta cuts are made across the board, he anticipates districts “could really lose some highly e ective folks if you don’t really look at perhaps di erentiating the pay a little bit.” ose who remain employed would still su er, Sass said, with fewer support sta members to lean on, adding more pressure and responsibility to teachers to the point that some could leave.

Students will also be worse o , he added, whether their schools no longer employ critical sta members like counselors and deans who have become a regular part of their school days, or they slash after-school activities such as sports and tutoring.

“ at’ll have a really hard impact on these students who we’re still trying to get back up, still trying to support after the pandemic,” Sass said.

e nonpro t Colorado School Finance Project has coached school districts statewide for more than a year on strategic approaches to budgeting in preparation for ESSER funds to evaporate, executive director Tracie Rainey said.

e organization tracks how much ESSER funding districts received and sends monthly reports to districts about where they stand with their current spending and the amount of stimulus dollars remaining, Rainey said. Additionally, three eld managers from the nonpro t have regularly touched base with superintendents and chief nancial o cers across the state to help them minimize nancial troubles.

Districts still have time to plan how they’ll use the rest of their funds and create a “smoothing e ect” as ESSER dollars dwindle, Rainey said.

She added that it’s important to remember that each round of federal stimulus funding for school districts carried di erent purposes. e rst wave of funding addressed the immediate crisis of the pandemic, the second round aimed at helping districts regain stability and the nal round focused on helping kids recover from lost lessons and time.

Rainey still worries about the prospect of districts meeting a scal cli , but that concern is tempered by a few facts: Many districts have long been preparing for stormy nancial waters next year and Colorado did not net as big a share of ESSER funds as other states.

Plus, Colorado’s economy continues to be robust, what Rainey describes as “one of the stronger economic engines across the country.”

However, the state has a few unique challenges with its approach to school nance.

Even though state sales tax and income tax are generating signicant revenue, schools can’t tap into all that revenue because of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, a 1992 constitutional amendment approved by Colorado voters that caps governmental growth each year based on

population increases and the rate of in ation. Any money collected over the cap has to be refunded, but the legislature has broad discretion over how the refunds are issued.

Colorado is also still hampered by the budget stabilization factor, also known as the negative factor, a tool adopted during the Great Recession that allows the General Assembly to allocate less money to schools each year than they are owed. For the current school year alone, the debt exceeds $141 million.

A cumulative debt of more than $10 billion continues to hang over the state. Even once the debt is paid o , Colorado’s school funding levels will mirror funding levels in 1988-89 after adjusting for in ation, Rainey said.

A more common challenge shared by districts across the state and country is declining enrollment. State enrollment data from last year showed that more than half of Colorado school districts — 94 of the state’s 178 districts — saw student counts drop. ose districts must cope with the additional stress of a hit to their share of state funding since the amount of money received from the state is largely determined by the number of students they

educate. Yet, one mechanism in Colorado’s school funding formula shields districts from a severe funding loss. A ve-year averaging provision, which calculates funding for a district based on average enrollment over ve years, helps curb the nancial blow.

Both Rainey and Roza urge school districts to soon begin the painful task of talking to teachers, families and communities about the agonizing decisions they have to make — well before May, when proposed district budgets are due to school boards with nal budgets approved in June.

“ ere’ll be a tendency for districts to say, “Let’s deal with this next month. Let’s not upset the community right now. We’re just trying to start school nicely and smoothly here. Let’s not get people upset,’” Roza said. “And the problem is they might burn up a bunch of time avoiding having these di cult conversations.”

Roza recommends that between now and March districts broadcast “a range of options” that illuminate the possible tradeo s of cutting sta , classes or programs; increasing class

Thornton and north to get a cultural experience

While covering the Westminster Public Schools Board of Education candidates’ campaigns, I came across what struck me as unusual.

anks to the Colorado Secretary of State’s web site under “Elections” I was able to access “Tracer” which lists every reported contribution to each candidate who has registered. I was quite taken back to learn that each of the three candidates backed by the teachers’ union received monetary contributions from high ranking school district employees. It includes Superintendent Pam Swanson, key administrative sta and several school principals. ey include Brenda Martin (whose husband is a school board member), Nancy Mills, Cindy Davis, Melissa Sandoval, Mathieu Aubuchon and Amber Velaquez.

So far, Swanson has contributed $500 to incumbent Christine Martinez and $242.45 to Mary Beth Murphy. Typically, the key sta members such as Jennifer Gotto, Kirchez Leday and Steve Saunders each gave $75-$200. Several school principals typically gave $100.00 each less processing fees. On top of sta ’s contributions, there were contributions from a couple of former school board members, the wife of a current board member ($1,000) and of course the teachers’ association aka union.

rough the Sept. 18 reporting deadline, Murphy had received the most from the union with $4,977.09, Martinez at $2,295.38 and Yanos at $2,777.09. at total amounts to approximately $10,000 for their slate. Since they are running together, that is a hefty sum of campaign money for the three open board seats! at buys a huge amount of in uence for the teachers union when it comes to voting on teachers’ salaries, bene ts and other nancial matters! To contrast these contributions, the Anthony Sisneros, Brenda Gallegos and Charles Gallegos slate are selffunding their campaign.

Contributions are certainly legal, but...

While the contributions from school district employees are not illegal and are not large, they do

CROSS CURRENTS

raise an ethical eyebrow for sure. In checking with a district spokesman, he con rmed that while they do not have a written policy spelling out employee contributions to candidates, they are allowed to participate. e district does have a limited policy on related matters such as the obvious rules you cannot campaign for a candidate during work hours nor can you use district property. However, I think it is important to go beyond the legal “test” regarding such contributions when in the public arena. ere is a whole other side to this story. Is it ethical to contribute to your boss’ bosses? I certainly question the contributions made by Superintendent Swanson to her current boss (Christine Martinez) as well as two potential bosses (Murphy and Yanos). Is there a con ict of interest there? Is there an attempt to get her “favorite” people elected to the board which has oversight of her performance and compensation? Is there in uence peddling going on? From the political optics of this practice of employees giving to candidates, it does not pass the smell test in my opinion. Also, did the ranking sta members each initiate their own contribution to each board candidate or was there someone higher up who “suggested” the contributions? I don’t know, but it raises these kinds of questions in my mind. It would be far more transparent if school district o cials would come forward and divulge these facts.

Half of ornton mayor and council candidates are ‘no shows’

A couple of weeks ago at the City of ornton Council Chambers, probably 60-75 of us were ready to hear a good exchange of positions on current issues among mayoral and city council candidates. Marge Innes, a member of the League of Women’s Voters of Adams County was there to moderate along with her assistants. Surprise, surprise…..

the Republican candidates failed to show up. at’s right; they snubbed the public as well as their opponents!! What a tacky maneuver. Mayor Kulmann had previously con rmed her attendance with Ms. Innes to boot. is is downright rude and deserves a public apology. Such tactics are indicative of Kulmann and her herd. Politics in ornton have hit a very low spot in my opinion and a lot of ornton people are tired of it.

e Republican majority took away the ward meetings so there is no interface with the public. e mayor snubs the public at council meetings and the beat goes on. I know the game they are playing and it won’t work if ornton voters vote the right slate of candidates into ofce. ornton woefully needs a big x of transparency, accountability and an opportunity for the public to speak their minds. To top it o , the following night two of the ve conservatives failed to show up at a separate candidates’ forum. Incumbent Eric Garcia and candidate Nicole Matkowsky failed to show two nights in a row. How disgusting. is conduct does not embrace democracy.

A mission with compassion for the homeless

Just about every Wednesday morning Alan Farb drives his car to the Westminster Food Bank at the Westminster Presbyterian Church. He is on a mission. His weekly goal is to reach out to as many homeless people in south Westminster and adjacent unincorporated Adams County as possible. He loads his car which is full of bags, boxes and paraphernalia with di erent food items, bottled water, fresh fruit, toilet paper and personal hygiene items.

All items are provided by the food bank. I decided to join him on one of his trips. He is a talkative soul who enjoys conversation with those he knows as well as perfect strangers. e commonality is all the folks he encounters are homeless and could stand a “hand up.” He knows several of the ten men by name who we greeted at the Irving Street Park next to the library. He asks how each one is doing and what they might

need while lling plastic bags with the items he brought. Also, he will ask about a particular person who he hasn’t seen in a week or two. He knows who is ill and should see a doctor.

‘I fed you when you were hungry’ Alan is Jewish. He is volunteering at a Protestant managed food bank. Does it get anymore ecumenical than that? You can quickly tell he has a passion for his fellow man. I tell him he is doing good work and he retorts with “it isn’t even making a dent in the problem.” en I remind him that these souls are being nourished by him beyond the food he hands out. He cares about them. He feels for them. I wish that I could clone him twenty times to spread these Alans all around Westminster and the adjacent unincorporated areas in both Adams and Je erson Counties. He is quick to point out that it is a “team e ort” and he is only a single cog in the wheel. He does not get paid nor does he accept any reimbursement for gas and wear and tear on his car. ank you Alan.

Coach Prime successfully hawks his sunglasses

Life in 2023 with Coach Prime continues to get even more bizarre! First, they sold out tickets to the C.U. home football games, which hasn’t happened in many years. Now we have C.U.’s Coach Prime selling his own style of sunglasses. Blenders Eyewear Company collaborated with Sanders on the design of the coach’s shades. Since pre-orders went live a week ago Friday, 72,000 pairs of sunglasses were sold. At $67.00 a pop, more than $4.8 million in sales were realized. Pre-ordering the glasses runs to October 12th so there is time to purchase your own Prime shades. What’s next with the Coach Prime mania? Perhaps with the drubbing the Bu s su ered against Oregon in the 42-6 massacre, it will slow down.

Report from Burning Man 2023

After a quiet year of preparation and premature eulogies, Burning Man roared into the news this August. ere were unplanned res, protesters and three hurricane-fueled rainstorms that turned the Nevada desert into a sea of mud.

Before it even got going, the event known for its whimsical art, leave-notrace ethos and sharing economy began with a brief disruption by climate activists blocking its entrance. e 10 protesters from the “Seven Circles Alliance” chained themselves to a trailer in the middle of Highway 447 and put up handmade signs proclaiming “Abolish Capitalism,” “Burners Unite” and “Ban Private Jets.”

In other pre-event excitement, I saw an SUV and attached trailer burst into ames due to some bad choices in gasoline storage. en a campmate of mine fell o one of those electric, onewheel skateboards, breaking several ribs and other bones.

Within minutes, Josh, who had come from Mexico, was picked up by a playa ambulance. Within hours he was own to Reno for a better diagnosis and surgery, and within days, repaired Josh was back with one steel plate and six screws. Mere seconds after returning, he was back at work with his one good arm.

is was his rst time at Burning Man, but like me, he was there to help get its basic structures ready to welcome this year’s 73,000 people, all coming to the middle of nowhere in Nevada.

In my 26 years of helping out and writing about Burning Man, I’ve talked about its art that you’d see nowhere else, a clown committing a felony, clothing-optional celebrators, aming objects and soul-crushing dust storms. It still is all that times 10, but this year it added several days of mud to the mythology.

You may think you know mud, but there is no mud like the playa mud of the Black Rock Desert, some 100 miles northeast of Reno. Once it was part of Lake Lahontan, which was more than 500 feet deep about 14,000 years ago. After its water evaporated, a deep layer of silt got left behind, and now even a small amount of rain can turn that silt into a mud bog.

Around midnight on Aug. 20, Hurricane Hilary sent a lot of rain our way, and by morning the water was ankle-deep outside my trailer. e sun did not shine for 36 hours, roads were

closed and nobody could get in or out.

As people nally emerged from their shelters, looking relieved, the sound of squelching lled the air. Playa mud is mean. It aspires to be quicksand, but it is not quite as cinematic or deep enough. It can only eat shoes and tires. e best way to get around on foot seemed to be bare feet protected by plastic bags. What is the opposite of sticky?

Slippery. e mud, angered by not being able to eat shoes, turned slick and big splashes could be heard. A op in warm mud might sound like a pleasant spa experience until you realize there is not enough water in Nevada to get it o . And a op can leave bruises.

Playa mud also does not want you to drive. Either your wheel wells ll up with a chocolaty donut of collected mud or you will spin holes axle-deep. In either case you will be laughed at rst and rescued much later.

is happens even in the summer when wet mud lurks under a dry, cracked surface, daring you to cross it. I took the dare one July and sat there for a long day until someone more experienced pulled me to solid land. Lesson learned, mud respected.    Astute Burning Man historians will also remember the great rainstorm of 2014, though this year was di erent. is downpour lasted much longer and put a stop to everyone’s setup schedule as hundreds of postholes sat waiting for their posts.

Finally, the sun did shine and people rejoiced on their islands. ey shared food and drink. Animals crawled up on shore, traded their ns for legs, stood upright and continued their journeys. e playa mud had exacted its price and let humans roam free to return to their o -playa lives. Weeks after the great splashing, it had all become an embellished myth with wild exaggeration and heroic stories to be shared. Some will claim it was epic.

THE ART OF ARTISTS SHARING THEIR LOVE FOR HORROR

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Whether it’s putting a personalized spin on a classic character or creating brand-new monsters and ghouls, artists in the horror genre nd endless possibilities when it comes to their artwork and how they choose to express themselves.

“ e genre of horror is the most expansive,” said Xander Smith, a concept artist in the entertainment industry. “You can do anything with it… you can go to the deepest depths of the human psyche.”

Among his many titles, Smith is also a digital sculptor and 3D modeler, where he has worked on shows like “American Horror Story” and “Scream Queens” as well as blockbuster movies like “Godzilla vs. Kong.”

Smith was one of dozens of artists state and nationwide who joined local artists at the Colorado Festival of Horrors in Lone Tree from Sept. 15 to 17 to share their love for art and horror.

Many of these artists were inspired by a memory of their childhood that they had with a family member either watching horror and sci- movies, reading comic books or looking at magazines.

Sources of inspiration

Creator and artist Barry McClain

things to make them look a little bit di erent, or more dynamic, interesting or scary,” she said.

Although she didn’t start showing her art until last year, Numri said she has found the most supportive and amazing friends in the horror community.

Di erent forms of art

said he was drawn into horror because of his mom, and he couldn’t be more grateful.

While growing up, McClain’s mom used to tell him about the makeup in horror movies, like when an actor would bite on a blood bag to make blood come out their mouth. She also read Fangoria Magazine on a regular basis.

”I used to look through this Fangoria Magazine all the time and I was just enamored with all the blood and guts,” McClain said.

Along with reading various horror comics and watching “Tales from the Crypt,” McClain started to draw monsters.

As an adult, McClain now draws horror posters and works for Troma Entertainment.

Part of his drawing process includes watching horror movies and using the references as accuracy to inspire his own work, McClain starts by drawing with pencil and ink before scanning it onto the computer, where he then colors it in on Photoshop.

Although he does artwork for the sci- and action-adventure genres, McClain said that the horror genre is his favorite because it’s more fun and also, the subject matter, storytelling and messaging is so broad.

It may be hard to believe, but there are always positive messages in horror movies, he added. ese types of movies tend to involve some kind of comeuppance and stories often teach moral values, which is what gravitates McClain to the genre.

McClain has re ected that in his own comic book, “Billy the Kit.” It’s

a horror Western story about faith and how the main character’s world is bigger than what his “bubble of faith” is, which he learns as he gains his power.

Additionally, McClain likes to teach other artists how to market themselves. He said it’s not about marketing sexuality or race, it’s about entertainment.

“I want to be seen as an artist, not a Black artist,” McClain said.

For Joe Oliver, an artist in Littleton, creating horror-themed pieces is cathodic to express and speaks to primal instincts.

“I think it’s the most honest expression of emotions that connects with people,” Oliver said. “Everything can be horror and I think a lot of the time because we’ve experienced sadness and horror, it allows us to appreciate the good as well.”

In addition to doing artwork for comic books, Oliver has also worked for Fangoria Magazine, Alamo Drafthouse and Macaulay Culkin.

He said the easiest way to create something unique is to create stu you want to see. Using pencil, pen and digital, Oliver creates everything from cartoon to graphic images and uses di erent e ects to express those pieces.

“I love di erent techniques and I try to do di erent styles based on what I’m feeling and how best to express that idea,” Oliver said.

Dee Nurmi of DC Custom Creations LLC uses glow-in-the-dark paint to add a playful yet haunting e ect to her paintings.

Painting characters from “ e Nightmare Before Christmas” and “Courage the Cowardly Dog,” Numri said she is a cartoonist at heart and has always had her own weird style.

“I’m able to kind of translate that into my pictures and warp some

From scriptwriting to video editing, from costume design to building a prop, art is in every aspect of the horror genre.

Daniel Crosier, mixed media artist and co-founder of Colorado Festival of Horrors said whether it’s traditional sketching or digital art, there will be people who love it and people who are put o by it.

After using 3D programming to create costumes and props with the costume department for “American Horror Story,” Xander Smith is currently working with Arti cial Intelligence.

“Even though the market is ooded with machine-made imagery, humans tend to value it less,” Smith said.

As a professional artist with experience in Hollywood, Smith said that he is seeing a lot of support for traditional artists, however, only time will tell.

While thinking about what to draw in front of a room full of people, Smith was inspired by the fashion design as it is often di cult to combine creepy and elegant.

Smith was not the only artist who likes to dabble with fashion, Colleen Cole uses her artistic talent to create costumes and clothing items, specically hand-sewn skirts with pockets.

She combines her love for horror and sewing by making made-to-order skirts with designs found online, including a glow-in-the-dark fang design.

Cole is also the owner of Commanding Cosplay LLC, a cosplayer, designer and model. She makes her own costumes and does makeup herself and creates amazing images.

“I’ve always enjoyed Halloween,” said Cole. “Making costumes as characters that I either love the aesthetic or the character itself, is a lot of fun for me.”

Ithink most of us can remember our rst rated R movie viewing experience — it’s one of those coming-of-age milestones we all hit at some point. But what about your rst R-rated theater experience? ose are a bit rarer to come by.

Providing that experience is just one of the reasons to see “Blasted,” the searing new production at Lakewood’s Benchmark eatre Its mature and challenging storytelling provides a heartbreaking window into the harshness and inhumanity of war.

“It’s the most aggressive and intense thing we’ve produced,” said Neil Truglio, Benchmark’s artistic director and director of the production. “We believe our audiences are brave and looking for challenges, so we had to ask ourselves if our company is as brave as we say we are.”

“Blasted,” written by British playwright Sarah Kane, opens Friday, Oct. 13 and runs through Saturday, Nov. 4 at the Benchmark eatre, 1560 Teller St. in Lakewood. Performances are at 8 p.m. ursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

e cast features Jayce Johnson, Josh Levy and Hillary Wheelock as three people being irrevocably changed by the warzone they nd

themselves in.

e play is Benchmark’s way of grappling with the ongoing RussianUkrainian war and ts squarely into the season’s theme of “casual-

“We always wonder why we don’t see plays like this more regularly, and I think it’s because this one digs into a lot of dark places,” Truglio said. “As artists we are always looking for new challenges and want to do the play that scares us.”

e production required a couple new additions to the creative process — a military expert to help create credible soldiers and Amelia Morse, an intimacy coordinator. Both were able to help the actors create characters and scenarios that will feel real and visceral for the audience.

“I always say, where else but Benchmark are you going to see something like this,” Truglio added. “Because we have this intimate space, we can take risks that others haven’t. If we’re going to put theater in a room like ours, we should really be exploring all edge

of the form.”

‘Blasted’ challenges theater, audiences alike COMING ATTRACTIONS

As is always the aim with anything Benchmark does, “Blasted” will undoubtedly spark conversation. And according to Truglio, that just means the company is doing its job. By tackling something as provocative as this show will also hopefully bring in new audience members.

“As a company, we’re always looking at where the audience of the future is and how we can speak to them now,” he said. “Denver’s audiences are so capable and I don’t believe this show is too hard for anyone. We’re hoping they will take the risk and the challenge and be as brave as we know they are.”

Mystery shrouds history of ‘Burma jeep’ at Brighton museum

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ken Kafka owns a Ford GTB, a rare and celebrated “Burma jeep.”

It was built in 1943 to be used on the famed “Burma Road” linking India to China. But Kafka, with the Colorado Military Historical Group, can’t nd any evidence that his jeep, or any other Ford GTB, was actually used on the road it was meant to tame during World War II.

“ e road was to haul freight into China so they wouldn’t have to y it over the hump, which are the Himalayas,” Kafka said. “Unfortunately, the road got completed just as the war ended.”

When Kafka scours the history about the Ford jeeps, it says that hundreds – 1,000 by the account of

one historian he read – were used on the Burma Road. at set Kafka on a search of photos and other historic records for any shred of evidence that the jeeps were actually used on the road.

“But upon my research there is no photographic evidence they were used in the China-BurmaIndia theater,” he said. “I found this out by a historian-collector from England who had found 60,000 photos of Burma Road. Not a single Burma jeep was on the road.” at leaves a bit of a mysterious cloud looming over Kafka’s vehicle now on display at the Brighton City Museum. It is part of an ongoing exhibit called, “A Century of Service-Colorado’s Citizen Soldiers and the Brighton Historic Armory.” It had its rst open house on Sept.

23.

e Burma jeep is designed as low pro le with short, tight steering. e Navy used them to haul heavy things.

But it isn’t immediately clear to even the Navy if Ford GBTs ever navigated the Burma Road as legend claims. e Brighton StandardBlade contacted the Navy’s Naval History and Heritage Command o ce in Washington to ask.

”We will not be able to get you an answer by your deadline as this will likely involve some digging into… records,” said Lt. Ian McConnaughey of the Public A airs O ce Communication and Outreach Division. “We will look into it, but we will need some exibility to get you an answer.”

As our Colorado Community Media newsroom, and Kafka, wait for the answer, Kafka said the history of the presence of the Ford jeeps in other places is less debatable. He found evidence that some jeeps were used during the Korean War.  His jeep is not the only thing on display at the Brighton City Museum.

e third level of the museum has a collection from the National Military Museum of the Rockies, which has partnered with the museum. Barry Hildebrandt is a historian collector bringing a collection of World War II Japanese and Marine Corps uniforms.

“ e uniforms he brought will change out in December,” Bill Armstrong, with the city, said. “He is the sole collector and curator. With this private collection we have a display of uniforms of the di erent periods that would have been involved in Colorado’s establishing of the National Guard.”

Armstrong said the exhibit on the third oor will be permanent and enhanced periodically and could expand to include more.

“ e exhibit would be specically be about the war records from 1890s through today,” Armstrong said.

Armstrong said he had a video of 157th Infantry Company K, who represented all of Colorado and other western states.

“ ey were an overseas force that liberated the concentration camp at Dachau in Nazi Germany,” he

said. “So, there’s a video of it which is public domain. So, we would like to feature that even though the Brighton Armory was closed back then, but it’s about the veterans and service members of the community and their history.”

Armstrong said the people who volunteered for service have been part of Brighton’s character since it was built. e opera house was the rst armory, which started in the 1890s and 1903.

As for Kafka’s Burma jeep mystery, he is still on the hunt for answers. He’s a veteran. So, he has lots of potential sources to check with, including his friends in the Colorado Military Historical Group, which reenacts history, focusing on World War II. ey participate in parades, veterans’ reunions, and airshows, bringing a collection of vehicles.

“ e Burma jeep was being built for the Burma Road,” Kafka said.

“It’s how it got nicknamed the Burma jeep, but it’s a pure Ford truck all the way through. ey built about 8,000, but the army guys didn’t like them.”

But were they ever on the Burma Road? For now, it is a mystery of history unless someone or some organization, like the Navy, can clear it up.

e Brighton City Museum is located at 22 S. 4th Ave.

PREPARING

sizes; closing schools; or making other sacri ces. at allows school districts to gather “meaningful feedback” from their communities, she said.

Another essential step in exploring how to taper district spending involves analyzing data to better understand what investments and interventions are helping students make progress, she said “We should agree on a couple of things that we want kids to walk out the door with,” Roza said, “and we should watch the data and know where we’re really succeeding and where we see some schools in distress.”

Luis Murillo, assistant superintendent in Alamosa School District RE11J, said his district has been deep in the process of planning its budget

for the past two years to avert a scal cli next year.

He said he has “a low level of concern.”

Another chunk of ESSER III funding has been central to o ering Alamosa students an enhanced summer school experience, complete with drones, robotics and cameras.

e school district paid close to 50 teachers to educate kindergarten through high school students every day, targeting kids who were close to being pro cient or partially procient in subjects like English language arts and math.

ESSER funds paid those expenses and will again allow the district to o er similar summer school classes next year. After that, it’s unclear what summer school will look like.

“I feel con dent that we will have something, but it’s de nitely not going to be at the level that we’ve been able to provide” with the help of the federal ESSER funding Murillo said.

Declining enrollment is com-

pounding the district’s nances, particularly as enrollment last year dropped by 72 students, down to 2,116 students.

“ at is pretty signi cant,” Murillo said. “We are running on tight budgets at all levels, at all faces, all departments, and then you pair that with the recent pay raises that we’ve provided our sta to retain and recruit high-quality sta . So we’re denitely seeing a strain across all of our departments to be just really more intentional about our spending.”

Alamosa School District gave a 7% raise to all sta during the last year, on top of an 8% raise the year in order to be competitive with other districts in terms of compensation, Murillo said. e district won’t be able to o er those kinds of pay bumps again this year.

In the meantime, Alamosa School District is continuing to search for ways to trim expenses, including by getting rid of resources that overlap with one another or are becoming

obsolete, such as an online platform it invested in at the height of the pandemic.

e district also must try to devise a new way to fund summer school beyond next year, even if it’s not as cool as it was this summer.

“We will ght hard to still have some level of success,” Murillo said.

Alamosa School District used some of its ESSER funding from the rst and second rounds to hire support sta , including nurses and counselors and now pays those employees through its general fund.

Part of the third bucket of ESSER funding was used to match a Building Excellent Schools Today grant from a state program that supports districts in constructing new schools and updating existing ones. e district worked to improve air quality and add air conditioning in four of its ve school buildings as it worked to avoid the spread of COVID and also clear one of its buildings of asbestos.

BETS

in Colorado charter schools made slightly more progress on math and reading tests than similar students in nearby district schools. is aligned with national ndings. However, there’s signi cant variation in performance within the charter sector.

“It’s a mixed picture, and a lot of charter schools don’t do a better job or even as good of a job as traditional public schools,” Henig said.

Daniels Fund leaders hope to send about 23,000 more students to private schools or some version of home schooling in the four-state region over the next six years. In Colorado, the number is 15,000.

In service to that goal, the foundation is giving money to groups like ACE Scholarship Fund, a

Colorado group that gives private school scholarships to lower income families in 12 states. More than 4,000 students in Colorado receive the partial scholarships, with families paying just $2,000 a year in tuition on average, said Norton Rainey, CEO of ACE Scholarships. e scholarships are for religious or secular private schools that charge $8,000 to $15,000 a year, not schools that charge $20,000 or more.

Rainey said the scholarships give families more choices and help private schools ll empty seats.

“ ere are quite a few available seats in private schools,” he said VELA Education Fund, an Arlington, Virginia-based funder of “small learning environments,’’ also received a Big Bet grant. e nonpro t is using the $750,000 it received last year to give dozens of smaller grants to microschools and homeschool groups, as well as to groups that create curriculum ma-

terials or otherwise support private and homeschool programs.

CEO Meredith Olson said demand has grown every year since VELA launched in 2019, both from individuals who run alternative education programs and “families who are looking for something di erent for their kids.” Just under half of the programs funded by the nonpro t were founded by people of color and more than 90% serve low- and middle income families, she said.

In Colorado, VELA has awarded grants to a variety of organizations. Among them are a Denver microschool called La Luz that serves sixth- and seventh-graders and emphasizes eld trips and experiential learning, and Catch a Star Academy, an Aurora microschool that serves third through fth graders who struggle academically. Both schools are tuition-free, though Catch a Star notes on its website that the tuition assistance is for the 2023-24 school year. It’s unclear if families will have to pay

next year.

Microschools, like other private schools, are not regulated by the state education department or obligated to administer state tests.

Skandera, of the Daniels Fund, said foundation sta ask Big Bet grantees to share student achievement outcomes, but acknowledged that they may use di erent tests or measures. ere’s no stipulation that grantees share student achievement with the public, she said.

Recent studies in other states have found students experience either declines or no improvements in math scores while attending private schools with a voucher. However, some older studies have found more positive e ects on longer-run outcomes.

Kevin Welner, director of the National Education Policy Center at the University of Colorado Boulder, said in some cases harmful academic e ects were on the order of those caused by the pandemic or Hurricane Katrina.

Our reporters and editors won 29 awards

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado Community Media, a digital and print news operation with 23 newspapers along the Front Range, won 29 awards during the annual Colorado Press Association Better Newspaper Contest.

In the awards presentation at Denver’s Curtis Hotel on Sept. 23, CCM won awards in editorial, advertising and special sections across its regions in the north, east, west and south.

e CCM team won 19 rst-place honors altogether, and the Editorial “sweepstakes” award in its classi cation among similar-sized newsrooms across the state.

In her third year as publisher of CCM, Linda Shapley said: “Our journalists work hard to make sure they are doing right by their communities, holding o cials accountable and telling the stories of their neighbors. ese awards serve as a little bit of proof that we are doing that job, and we’ll continue to do what’s best for our

communities.”

In the North Metro region, which includes coverage in Adams and Weld counties, Belen Ward and Luke Zarzecki won a total of three awards.

Ward took second place for a photo slide show at a Professional Bull Riders event in Adams County. Former CCM reporter Zarzecki, who now works for Inside Health Policy in Washington, won two second-place awards. One was for environmental news about keeping a lush lawn amid drought conditions, and the other was for public safety reporting and looking at the roots of motor vehicle thefts.

CCM swept the special sections category, winning rst and second place for the company’s annual health and wellness guide and spring home and garden section. e sections combine editorial, advertising and design. Advertising director Erin Addenbrooke, Grimes, the south metro editor, and designer Ben Wiebesiek managed the award-winning sections.

In advertising, Tina Meltzer took rst place for best digital ad.

‘Big Mo’ excited to host bare-knuckle brawlers in Denver

and with nowhere to run. Denver fans will experience a night of straight-up st ghts rather than the cardio clinics that have been masquerading as bare-knuckle brawls in their state. ere’s nothing like a BYB event.”

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Blood is certain to spill as barested ghters seek glory in December at Denver’s Stockyards Event Center.

e bludgeoning known as the BYB Extreme Fighting Series will make its Colorado debut in what is dubbed the Rocky Mountain Brawl for two headline title ghts.

And, Colorado native Kody “Big Mo” Mommaerts will return home to bring energy to it all as ring announcer for the event on Dec. 2.

From a childhood in Superior to becoming a football player for the University of Northern Colorado, Mommaerts, now 27, has emerged as one of the fastest-rising ring announcers in combat sports.

He splits his time between the United States — including his current home in Denver — where he calls bare-knuckle ghts, and England, where he calls boxing matches and championship bouts forBOXXERthat air on Sky Sports, one of the largest boxing platforms in Europe.

“I’m super, super excited,” Mommaerts said of the upcoming Denver matchups in a call to Colorado Community Media from London. “I started my announcing career in Colorado doing some regional stu and some more local shows … then, my career grew rather quickly. So, I haven’t announced in Colorado in probably a year and a half now. I’m excited to get back and announce in my home state, have some of my friends there and stu like that as well.”

After being crowned back-toback “Ring Announcer on the Rise” in 2019 and 2020, Mommaerts was recently named the “Bareknuckle Hall of Fame 2023 Announcer of the Year.”

While bare-knuckle ghting

might be new to some, Mommaerts said the sport has enjoyed a wave of popularity in recent years.

He’s con dent it will be wellreceived here as Denver is a town that simply loves its sports.

“I think, like the rest of the country and the world, you’ve seen a rise in bare-knuckle ( ghting) in the last few years,” Mommaerts said. “I don’t think that there was a big market for bare-knuckle in Colorado even a few years ago, but the sport has grown a lot. More states are starting to legalize it. It just got uni ed rules under the American Boxing Commission. So yeah, it’s just growing, and it’s exciting.”  e upcoming BYB bout is being

promoted as a co-main event.

Mark “ e Shark” Irwin is set to defend his BYB lightweight title against Julio Tanori. And, champion Monica Medina will collide with Paty Juarez for BYB Women’s lightweight and Police Gazette World Diamond Belt trilogy. Each ghter has one win already, making their Denver clash the trilogy tiebreaker.

“I couldn’t think of a better way to cap o a historic 2023 than to give Denver ght fans a taste of what real bare-knuckle ghting is all about,” BYB CEO Greg Bloom said in a release.

“In the smallest ring in combat sports, with the tightest corners,

BYB, around since 2015, was founded by Dada 500, once the bodyguard of esteemed ghter Kimbo Slice, and the star of Netflix’s “Dawg Fight.”

Dada 500’s unique backyardstyle, bare-knuckle ghts gained internet popularity, and the sport has become a cult favorite since. is is the 22nd brawl event in BYB series history.

e BYB’s small and unique triangular ring results in a 90% knockout rate for its ghts, making for fast-paced, action-packed ghts.

e league also features highpro le personalities from other combat sports on its broadcasts, including the UFC’s Mike Goldberg, former boxing champ Paulie Malignaggi and Claudia Trejos from sports streaming service DAZN.

Medina is ready for payback after a controversial split decision in her last bout against Juarez.  “ ree strikes and she’s out,” Medina said in a statement. “I’m wrapping this trilogy up in spectacular fashion in her own backyard and leaving no doubt.”

Irwin is also ready to bring the electricity this December.

“Being the biggest star in BYB, I think it’s only tting that I’m headlining the end of year event and I’m excited to go out there and remind everyone why I’m in this position,” Irwin said.

e bill is “probably the most exciting ght we can bring,” Mommaerts said.

“It’s de nitely an exciting sport, de nitely fast-paced, and I think Denver is going to enjoy it a lot,” he added.

Tickets for the event go on sale soon. Visit www.bybextreme.com for more information. For more on Denver’s Mommaerts and his work, visit www.thisisbigmo.com

New scoreboards fire up Stargate Charter School’s soccer teams

Student-led campaign rewards current and future players

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It all began with Eagles soccer captain Chase Smith. He and his Stargate Charter School teammates were playing games the old way, with referees and coaches keeping score themselves. at made it di cult for the audience to keep track of minutes in the game, goals scored and, well, sometimes it was confusing.

So Smith pushed for new scoreboards.

And on Sept. 28, after a schoolcommunity fundraising e ort, the school nally got them. e two beautiful, state-of-the-art spectacles dazzle in purple, black and white team colors, and read: “Home of the Stargate Eagles.” And it proves the student athletes at the school in ornton care not only about their matches, but the players that will come in the years ahead.

To complement the pristine, almost neon-green turf soccer elds, the new scoreboards were unveiled at a ribbon-cutting ceremony before the Stargate boys soccer team took on the Prospect Ridge Academy Miners from Broom eld. ough the scoreboards are the result of several dedicated members of the program and community, the school’s athletic director singled out Smith for a well-deserved shoutout.

“We want to recognize Chase Smith for his insights spearheading

this project,” said Athletic Director David Logan. “He clearly has a passion for the game and Stargate School, and we are proud that he is an Eagle.”

Smith, when he’s not on the soccer eld, which is hardly ever, works with members of the student council on a variety of di erent projects and ideas for the school, Logan said. After bubbling down several possible initiatives, Smith red up the other council members to see it done.

“ e refs have been our go-to, and obviously the coaches kind of keep track on their own,” said Dana O’Neill, head coach of the girls team. “I think that’s why it’s such a big deal. As a 3A school, a charter school, sometimes you have those stigmas about not being up to the

Legacys and the Horizons of the world. But this brings us one step closer.”

Having a player be the catalyst of a project like this not only makes it more special, but it empowers other student athletes to care more about their programs.

O’Neill is going on her eighth year as a coach at Stargate this spring, and she said she’s seen the school and its programs grow from practically nothing.

“It feels like we’re just one step closer to being more legitimate –not that the program isn’t, but we started at ground zero,” she said. “And [Smith] is a student, which in my opinion makes it that much better. He was the head honcho of this. He started the real idea of ‘Let’s not just talk about it any-

more, let’s make some moves.’”

Stargate was a kindergartenthrough-eighth-grade school from 1994, when it opened, until 2016, when the high school was added. Until recently, because of Stargate’s structure, it was di cult to get her players to stay after eighth grade, O’Neill said.

“To see the buy-in that we’ve had … girls stay now,” she said. “We were K-8 for so long and they’d go to [other schools], but I’ve started to get girls bought in that this is a good program. Last year was the rst year where I felt my hard work was paying o .”

Having modern facilities, like the scoreboards now as well, only makes her job easier, she said. Smith was, per usual, locking in for his soccer match.

Members of the boys and girls soccer teams at Stargate Charter School in Thornton beam as they cut the ribbon debuting their new scoreboards. Chase Smith, a captain on the boys team, advocated heavily for the scoreboards and worked with the student council and community fundraising to get it done.

SERIES OF 2023

INTRODUCED BY COUNCILLORS Seymour, Emmons

A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING CHAPTER 3 OF TITLE VIII OF THE WESTMINSTER MUNICIPAL CODE CONCERNING DETENTION OF MOTOR VEHICLES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY BEFORE FILING COMPLAINT

THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER ORDAINS: Section 1. Section 8-3-8, W.M.C., is hereby AMENDED as follows:

8-3-8. – Detention of Motor Vehicles and Personal Property Before Filing Complaint.

(A) Legislative Intent. Impoundment of motor vehicles before filing a complaint and petition for temporary restraining order is necessary to prevent the continuance of the public nuisance and the removal, destruction and concealment of motor vehicles to thwart the remedies provided in this Chapter.

(B) Where a motor vehicle is impounded under this Section, the procedures of this Section shall exclusively apply unless otherwise specified.

(C) Any police officer for the City of Westminster may impound and detain a motor vehicle under this Chapter if they determine that there is probable cause to believe that:

(1) A public nuisance offense has occurred within the city; and

(2) The public nuisance offense occurred in the motor vehicle, or the motor vehicle was used to facilitate, allow, promote, participate, aid, abet, or permit the transaction constituting the public nuisance act, or the flight or attempted flight therefrom; and

(3) The motor vehicle is capable of being concealed, destroyed, or removed from the city.

(D) Whenever a motor vehicle is impounded under this section, the Westminster Police Department shall submit an affidavit in support of impoundment to the city attorney’s office within three calendar days, excluding court weekends and city holidays.

(E) Upon receipt of the affidavit in support of impoundment the city attorney’s office shall submit the affidavit for a probable cause determination by the court or file a declaration that the motor vehicle is available for release.

(F) If the court finds the affidavit in support of impoundment supports a finding of probable cause for impoundment under this Chapter, then within 14 days of the date the motor vehicle was impounded as a public nuisance, the city attorney’s office shall file with the court:

(1) The pleadings required for the commencement of actions under this Chapter; or

(2) A declaration that the motor vehicle is available for release and that the city made good faith efforts to serve the registered owner with a notice to that effect in accordance with W.M.C. Section 8-3-7(K)(2); or

(3) A declaration the motor vehicle is available for release, but that the motor vehicle is relevant evidence in a criminal proceeding, and is being held as result of that status. The city shall also file a statement that the city made good faith efforts to serve the registered owner with a notice as to the current circumstance of the vehicle, in accordance with W.M.C. Section 8-3-7(K)(2).

Public Notices

(G) The city attorney’s office may decline to submit an affidavit in support of impoundment to the court. If an affidavit is submitted, the court may determine the affidavit in support of impoundment does not support a finding of probable cause for impoundment under this Chapter, and if the court makes this determination, then it shall promptly inform the city attorney’s office. If the city attorney’s office declines to submit the affidavit for court consideration or if the court determines probable cause does not exist, the city attorney’s office will then follow the procedures in W.M.C. Section 8-3-8(F)(2) above, and the defendant may request a hearing regarding costs pursuant to W.M.C. Section 8-3-22

Section 2. This ordinance shall take effect upon its passage after second reading. The title and purpose of this ordinance shall be published prior to its consideration on second reading. The full text of this ordinance shall be published within ten (10) days after its enactment after second reading.

SERIES OF 2023

INTRODUCED BY COUNCILLORS

Seymour, Emmons

A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING CHAPTER 3 OF TITLE VIII OF THE WESTMINSTER MUNICIPAL CODE CONCERNING IMPOUNDMENT OF PUBLIC NUISANCE VEHICLES; HEARING PROCEDURE

THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER ORDAINS:

Section 1. Section 8-3-22, W.M.C., is hereby ADOPTED as follows:

8-3-22. – Hearing on Impoundment When Probable Cause Not Determined - Procedure.

(A) Hearing: Pursuant to W.M.C. section 8-38(G), if the city attorney’s office declines to submit the affidavit for court consideration, the owner of a motor vehicle impounded under this Chapter may petition for a hearing in the Westminster Municipal Court. Such hearing must be requested within fourteen days of service of the notice required by W.M.C. section 8-3-8(G). The sole issue before the court at hearing shall be whether there was probable cause to impound the vehicle in question. “Probable cause to impound” shall mean such a state of facts as would lead a person of ordinary care and prudence to believe that there were sufficient facts to grant legal authority under this Chapter for the impoundment of the vehicle. The court shall conduct the hearing in an informal manner and shall not be bound by technical rules of evidence. The person demanding the hearing shall carry the burden of establishing that such person has the right to possession of the vehicle and that the court has jurisdiction over the matter. The City shall carry the burden of establishing that there was probable cause under this Chapter to impound the vehicle in question. The burden of proof shall be by a preponderance of the evidence. The court’s decision as to probable cause shall be a final judgment of the Westminster Municipal Court. Failure of the registered or legal owner, or their agent, to timely request or attend a scheduled post-impoundment hearing shall be deemed a waiver of the right to such hearing. Prior to the commencement of a hearing, the City in its sole discretion may give notice in writing or on the record that the City intends to pay all impound and towing fees. Such notice

shall be binding on the City and no hearing on the issue of probable cause shall be held.

(B) Reimbursement for Improper Impoundment:

At the conclusion of a hearing under this Section, if the court finds that the City failed to meet it’s burden under subsection (A) above, the City shall either fully reimburse the owner of the impounded vehicle for all towing and storage fees paid by the owner, or directly pay the towing and storage company for such accrued fees. If the subject vehicle is towed and stored by a private towing and storage facility designated by the City, the court may not waive fees associated with the towing or storage of the vehicle unless authorized by the designated towing and storage company.

(C) No vehicle impounded under this Chapter shall be released to its owner until all towing charges, storage charges and administrative fees incurred by the City have been reimbursed to the City by the owner. If towing and storage fees are due to a private towing and storage company designated by the City to perform such services, no vehicle impounded under this Chapter shall be released to its owner until all such fees have been paid directly by the owner to such designated company. The owner of the vehicle may also be issued a citation for a parking violation, abandoned vehicle violation, or other applicable violation.

(D) The provisions and procedures in this Section apply to vehicles impounded within the City of Westminster, by a Westminster Police Officer, and stored at a facility designated by the City of Westminster. A Westminster Police Officer shall not knowingly order a vehicle to be impounded pursuant to this Chapter when the vehicle is located outside the City of Westminster. The Westminster Municipal Court shall only have jurisdiction to hear matters under this Chapter when the motor vehicle was physically impounded within the City of Westminster by a Westminster Police Officer or other authorized City employee.

Section 2. This ordinance shall take effect upon its passage after second reading. The title and purpose of this ordinance shall be published prior to its consideration on second reading. The full text of this ordinance shall be published within ten (10) days after its enactment after second reading.

INTRODUCED, PASSED ON FIRST READING, AND TITLE AND PURPOSE ORDERED PUBLISHED this 25th day of September, 2023.

(B) Subject to the procedures specified in this Section, a police officer, parking enforcement officer, code enforcement officer or any community development parking management or operations team member or designee, or other person designated by the chief of police or community development director shall require a vehicle to be immobilized removed or cause it to be removed and placed in storage in a garage or other place of safety designated or maintained by the City when:

(1) The vehicle is found, attended or unattended, standing or parked upon any portion of a street, highway, or public thoroughfare within the City in such manner as to constitute a violation of this Code; or

(2) The vehicle has been left unattended on any portion of a street, highway or public thoroughfare and is presumed to be abandoned; or

(3) The vehicle has been left unattended on private property or City property, the vehicle is presumed to be abandoned, and the owner or lessee of such property has notified the Police Department or the Community Development Department about the vehicle.

(4) The vehicle has three (3) or more outstanding parking violations. For purposes of enforcement of this subsection, a parking violation shall be considered outstanding when it has remained unpaid for a period of time in excess of 21 days from the date the citation was issued; or

In the event the vehicle is stored in a designated garage, a copy of the notice shall be given to the proprietor of the garage. The written notice shall also contain the following statement:

“The City of Westminster has ordered the immobilization or towing of your vehicle. If you

believe that the immobilization or impoundment was improper, you have twenty-one (21) days from the date of this notice to submit a notice of appeal to the City.

The notice of appeal may be submitted through a location on the city’s website to be specified on the parking citation, or the notice of appeal may be submitted in person at a location within the City of Westminster to be specified on the parking citation.

No in-person, evidentiary hearing will be conducted at the first level document review.

Notice of the decision shall be given by electronic mail or through U.S. mail to the addresses provided on the notice of appeal. Notice shall be considered as having been given upon the sending of mailing of the notice.

(E) A responsible party may demand a second level review in the form of a hearing within 21 days of being notified that a parking citation was upheld upon first level document review.

(1) No person shall be entitled to second level hearing review who did not first submit a notice of appeal and have the parking citation upheld upon first level document review.

(2) The demand for second level hearing review may be submitted through a location on the city’s website to be specified on the parking citation, or the notice of appeal may be submitted in-person at a location within the City of Westminster to be specified on the parking citation.

the Director to offset the cost of conducting the hearing may be added to the cost of the parking citation upon failure to appear by the responsible party.

(5) The City bears the burden of proof at the hearing to establish that the parking violation was appropriately issued. The burden of proof is by a preponderance of the evidence.

(6) The Parking Hearing Officer shall preside over the hearing. Hearings conducted pursuant to this Section are to be informal in nature. Formal rules of evidence, procedure, and discovery do not apply, though each party shall be entitled to view the evidence submitted by the other party at the time it is admitted. The Parking Hearing Officer shall make their own determinations as to the relevance, competence, and weight of the submitted evidence.

(7) The Parking Hearing Officer shall cause to be made a record of the hearing, either stenographically or by sound recording, and shall make available a transcript of the hearing to any person upon request and payment in advance of the estimated cost of the production of the transcript.

(9) If the Parking Hearing Officer upholds the parking citation, an administrative fee reasonably calculated by the Director to offset the cost of conducting the hearing may be added to the cost of the parking citation. This fee may be waived at the discretion of the Parking Hearing Officer.

(10) The decision of the Parking Hearing Officer at the conclusion of the hearing shall be final and not subject to any further appeal, except as provided by law.

(F) No impounded vehicle shall be released to its owner until all towing charges, storage charges and administrative fees incurred by the City have been reimbursed to the City by the owner, or in the case of towing and storage charges, paid directly by the owner to such private person or firm as may have performed such services at the request of the City. The owner of the vehicle may also be issued a citation for a parking violation, abandoned vehicle violation, or other applicable violation.

(G) The requirements contained within this Section relating to compliance with time periods are directory in nature. Failure of the City to strictly comply with said time periods shall not cause an automatic forfeiture of the City’s rights under the code.

Section 2. This ordinance shall take effect upon its passage after second reading. The title and purpose of this ordinance shall be published prior to its consideration on second reading.
