Ballot issue would let state keep extra tobacco funds

BY SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado voters approved a ballot measure in 2020 increasing taxes on tobacco and nicotine products and letting the state use the revenue to fund a universal preschool program.

But the increased taxes generated more money than expected to the tune of about $24 million. So the legislature passed a bill asking voters this year through Proposition II to let the state keep that extra money — as well as all future revenue from the taxes — and use it to expand the preschool program.

If voters reject Proposition II, the tax revenue collected above what was projected will be returned to nicotine and tobacco wholesalers and distributors. Additionally, the nicotine and tobacco tax rates will be cut to prevent future excess revenue.

Why does the state need voter permission to keep the excess revenue?

The Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, a constitutional amendment approved by voters in 1992, requires

Thornton Shopping Center moves toward demolition

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The dilapidated, nearly 70-yearold structures at Thornton Shopping Center likely will come tumbling down early in 2024.

The City of Thornton is now accepting bids from contractors to do asbestos abatement, then demolition.

It’s a big step on the already long journey toward redeveloping and revitalizing the nearly 16-acre site at 88th Avenue and Washington Street.

“This is the City of Thornton’s number one economic development goal,” said Thornton redevelopment administrator Chad Howell.

“It’s a good site with a lot of potential. And it’s very important to the community.”

The Thornton Shopping Center is in the southwest part of the city, or Ward 1. It’s also the most historic part of Thornton, often called original Thornton. The shopping center that’s now considered a blight was once the pride of the area. It opened in 1955 – before the city was incorporated – as an “ultra-modern shopping center.”

But years and neglect have taken a heavy toll on the property.

The Thornton City Council voted almost two years ago to acquire the center through eminent domain, with plans to clean it up and prepare it for redevelopment. The property is beset with chemical contamination, crime and other issues that impact not only the center, but the neighborhood.

Neighbor Seamus Blaney, who de-

scribes his home as “in the shadow” of Thornton Marketplace, urged the city for years to do something about the failing center.

“This site undeveloped has already cost the city of Thornton millions of dollars of lost sales tax revenue over the years,” he said. “It’s certainly cost me thousands and potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in property value. I’m glad to see something is happening.”

In January 2023, the court awarded possession to the city from its previous owner.

“We don’t yet have title, but that lets us move ahead with relocating tenants, knocking down buildings and digging out contamination,” Howell said.

Soil and groundwater on the site are contaminated with perchloroethylene (PERC), a dry-cleaning chemical. The property also has a multitude of unaddressed structural and aesthetic issues.

The previous owner said he didn’t have the funds to address the issues, so the city reluctantly stepped in. So far, it has spent just shy of $1 million from the nearly $6 million allocated for the work. The city aims to recover as much of its investment as possible when it sells the land.

“We didn’t enter into (eminent domain) lightly,” Howell said. “At the end of the day, the city felt it didn’t have a choice.”

Today, the city has relocated all but one tenant. Angello’s Event Center is expected to move to a new space by Oct. 31.

The city aims to award contracts for asbestos abatement and demolition soon after that. The asbestos work may take up to 12 weeks, which could push demolition into 2024, Howell said.

Next Steps Once the buildings come down, the city can take a closer look at the ground and test it to determine the level of contamination, then take steps to address it.

Howell also plans to hire professional facilitators to work with the community on planning the site’s future.

“That process probably will begin in April,” he said. “We’re going to do a market study, meet with the neighborhood and tell them what the market experts say would be feasible on the site. We’ll flush it out from there.”

While the process is moving steadily forward, Howell said the revitalization neighbors have long dreamed of is still some time to come.

“The thing about redevelopment is that it’s time consuming and tedious,” he said.

Neighboring businessman Blake Feik said it can’t come soon enough.

“It’s a real black eye, just a pariah in the community,” said Feik, president and CEO of nearby North Valley Bank. “Hopefully with redevelopment, it will attract places people want to do business in. That will be a real plus for the area’s economic vibrancy. Right now, the momentum is going the wrong way.”

Westminster’s Tattered Cover closing City aims to find replacement tenant for spot in still-developing downtown

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Tattered Cover was a star tenant when it opened in the city’s developing Downtown Westminster.

Less than two years later, it’s closing.

Tattered Cover, Colorado’s largest independent bookstore, announced this week it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and will close three of its seven stores.

Those include the Downtown Westminster location. The closings will happen fast — beginning Oct. 23 and wrapping up by early November.

The Westminster store opened in January 2022 inside the Origin Hotel. It was the first Tattered Cover store in the small chain with a bar, serving wine and local beer.

Patrons of Westminster’s Tattered Cover are disappointed to see the bookstore go.

“I was sad to hear that,” said Arvada resident Michael Goodman, who said he and his wife frequently perused the store’s shelves after dining in downtown Westminster.

“It’s nice to see a tangible bookstore these days, and it seemed like a nice spot to gather and have community.”

Denver’s Kavya Raju worked in the bookstore this week with two friends, one of whom lives in Boulder. The trio frequently meets at the Westminster Tattered Cover, a convenient spot between their homes.

“It’s a good community space,” Raju said. “Losing that is always sad. And I think the loss of bookstores is really sad.”

Tattered Cover CEO Brad Dempsey said the company has a history of acting as a lead tenant in developing areas, and that it “couldn’t take that risk right now.”

He cited inflation, the pandemic and back-to-back ownership changes as factors in the company’s decision, but said it remains committed to its remaining locations.

“This business is … a civic institution for Colorado,” he said. “We have total and complete dedication to make this work. We’re going to keep this legacy going.”

City dismayed but seeking replacement

City leaders said they’re also dismayed to lose the bookstore but will work to find a quality replacement.

“The city will work closely with the owners of the space … to recruit a new, exciting restaurant or retailer to our community,” said Economic Development Director Lindsey Kimball. “Downtown Westminster is a popular restaurant and retail destination with at least four new destinations coming online in the next six months, with dozens of townhomes coming online for sale over the next year.

“While we are disappointed to hear about Tattered Cover’s decision … we are confident in the future of Downtown Westminster.”

City Councilor Obi Ezeadi, whose book club met at the bookstore, is disappointed as both an elected official and a patron.

“The Tattered Cover was a community co-working space,” he said.

“It connected a lot of folks together, and the ambiance was great. It leaves a hole in what they provided.”

But he said the city will keep working to fill vacant spaces in Downtown Westminster, and move forward with approved developments there.

“The downtown is one of the city’s biggest projects,” he said “There’s a lot of excitement around it, and it’s doing well. We just need to finish it up.”

Not everyone is a fan of the development. Councilor Bruce Baker, who is running for reelection next month, said the city has wasted money on the project.

“Much of the new downtown sits empty, offering mundane plans, and failed ideas,” he said in a recent candidate Q&A. “The major commercial land sales disappeared.

Unthinkingly committed, the council has spent $4 million additional taxpayer dollars this year alone on projects at the new downtown.

“Today the new downtown is over

$100 million dollars of lost taxpayers dollars, with little hope of meaningfully erasing that loss.”

Downtown’s history

The 105-acre site for Downtown Westminster, located on 88th Avenue west of Highway 36, was once home to the Westminster Mall, demolished in 2011.

In 2014, the city council voted to build the new downtown — a planned mix of residential, retail, offices and hotels. The city has since been working to develop the property, slowly converting it from the previously outdated, enclosed shopping mall into what developers describe as a walkable and vibrant mixed-use neighborhood.

To date, Downtown Westminster includes Alamo Drafthouse, a

plaza, the Origin Hotel, and several apartments, among others. Four of the original mall tenants, including JC Penney, the Olive Garden restaurant, a bowling alley and dental offices, are still in business on the site.

FAST FACTS ABOUT DOWNTOWN WESTMINSTER: Construction to date: 154,000 sq ft of commercial space and about 1,000 housing units Recent new retailers: Bank Central, Bonchon, Edward Jones, Inks and Drinks, Superfruit Republic Coming soon: Marczyk’s Grocery Store, Vatos Tacos & Tequila, Alley Tea Plus: Groundbreaking on the $7 million Center Park is expected yet this year

Adams, Jeffco announce air quality monitoring effort EPA gives counties money to collect, share data with public

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On a sunny day that a Northglenn air quality monitor rated “good,” federal, state, county and local officials stood outside the Northglenn Recreation Center to announce they’re expanding local air quality monitoring programs.

Adams and Jefferson counties received $628,000 in Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grants to add more monitors and make that data public.

Local leaders said it’s critical in an area that’s experiencing dramatic growth, more frequent wildfires and has a geography that creates pollutant-trapping temperature inversions

during an Oct. 18 press conference.

All of those factors have had consequences.

In April 2022, the EPA downgraded the northern Front Range from a “serious” to a “severe” violator of federal ozone standards. Heavy industrial users like Commerce City’s Suncor Oil Refinery have repeatedly been cited for EPA violations, and earlier this month, the EPA reached a settlement with Suncor around some of those allegations.

EPA regional administrator KC Becker said the funds are aimed at helping areas most affected by pollutants.

“These grants reflect a renewed focus on environmental justice and helping communities that are often overburdened and underserved,” she said. “In practical terms, these grant projects are significantly enhancing the resolution we have on air quality in places like Commerce City, Golden, Lakewood, Sheridan and other locations across the metro

area.”

The monitors provide real-time pollutant measurements on publicfacing web dashboards, including the Love My Air website. The Love My Air network is also available as a smartphone app.

Data from the Love My Air network gives residents real-time access to information that can help them decide if it’s safe to exercise outside. For local governments, the data will help guide environmental policy and decisions.

Adams County got a $403,000 EPA grant to expand its community air monitoring network across Adams and Arapahoe counties. The sensors measure fine particulate matter (PM2.5), particles 2.5 micrometers or smaller — 30 times smaller than a strand of hair. Exposure to unhealthy levels of PM2.5 is linked to premature mortality, heart disease and asthma.

Jefferson County got $225,000 to install similar monitoring equipment in several of its underserved

communities.

The county grants were among nearly $3 million the EPA gave to communities and nonprofits statewide for developing real-time air pollutant information in underserved neighborhoods.

Northglenn already has two air quality monitoring stations that measure PM2.5, one at the recreation center and a second at Northwest Open Space. Data from those sensors is live on Love My Air. “This allows residents real-time information about air quality particulate matter, right where they live,” said Mayor Meredith Leighty. “We recognize that air quality impacts everyone’s quality of life. This includes our ability to enjoy time outside, and both our short- and long-term health.”

The grant money is part of the EPA’s Inflation Reduction Act funds, intended to help local health officials develop data on air pollutants in their neighborhoods.

Broken rail likely caused Pueblo train derailment

BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL THE COLORADO SUN

A broken rail likely caused a train hauling 124 cars of coal to derail on a bridge over Interstate 25 north of Pueblo, killing a semi truck driver, federal investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board said.

The board’s preliminary assessment determined that the bridge collapsed after the train derailed on Oct. 15, sending coal and mangled train cars across I-25 and closing the busy route between Pueblo and Colorado Springs. As many as 30 train cars derailed.

Investigators were at the scene in the aftermath, trying to figure out what caused the broken rail and why warning systems did not alert crews, the NTSB said.

Federal investigators will also look at the adequacy of prior track inspections and the condition and maintenance history of the bridge. The federal agency will release its preliminary report within 30 days. A final report could take up to two years to be completed.

The broken rail was east of the bridge over I-25, the NTSB said.

Both northbound and southbound lanes of I-25 remained closed in the days after the crash as crews continued to clear debris from the road.

BNSF expects cleanup to be completed by Wednesday, when CDOT engineers and maintenance crews will assess the damage and determine what repairs are needed to reopen the highway.

Drivers headed south are advised to use Colorado 115 until they reach

Penrose, before heading east on U.S. 50 toward Pueblo. Northbound drivers can exit the interstate at U.S. 50 and go west, toward Pueblo West, then north on Purcell until they reach I-25, CDOT said.

There still remains confusion over who owns the bridge that collapsed and who was responsible for maintaining it. A spokesperson for BNSF, which operated the train that derailed and owns the line it runs on, told The Colorado Sun the state owns the bridge.

But Matt Inzeao, communications director for the Colorado Department of Transportation, said state officials are still combing through documents, going back to the bridge’s construction in the late 50s, to determine who owns it.

“We have been working through

some conflicting information thus far,” Inzeo said in an email. “We do not have access to the maintenance and inspection activity performed by BNSF for this bridge.”

Generally, CDOT’s inspection and maintenance focuses on bridges carrying cars and trucks “and only deals with railroad and utility bridges as needed,” Inzeo said.

It’s also unclear where the train was headed.

An Xcel Energy spokesperson said the coal was not en route to the Comanche power plant in Pueblo and will not affect the plant’s operations.

The Pueblo County Coroner’s Office identified the truck driver killed in the derailment as Lafollette Henderson, 60, of Compton, Calif.

None of the train’s crew were injured.

Why school board elections matter and why you should vote

BY ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Every other November, Colorado voters choose the people who make important decisions about their local schools. But in most school districts, very few people vote in these school board elections —and most of them aren’t parents of current students.

What exactly is a school board?

And why should you care about voting in these odd-year elections?

Voting for school board members who share your values or perspective makes it more likely schools will run in a way that you think is good for kids and your community.

If you don’t vote, you give that power to other people. In many school district elections, less than a third of eligible voters vote. Sometimes just a few hundred or even a few dozen votes separate the winners and losers. That means every vote matters.

In Colorado, school districts are run by elected officials who serve on the school board. School boards usually have five to seven members. The main function of a school board is hiring the superintendent, who is like the chief executive of the school district and responsible for day-to-day running of local schools.

School board members supervise

and evaluate the superintendent.

School board members also vote on the budget and pay raises for teachers and other staff, and they set policies that control what happens in schools.

A school board might cast the final vote on whether to close a school with low test scores or too few students —or vote to change budget priorities so those schools have more money. Or a school board might vote to adopt a new curriculum if the old one isn’t working well to educate students.

School boards also have the final say on many contentious issues. If a student is expelled and the family appeals to keep that student in school, or if a teacher is fired and appeals to keep their job, the school board makes the final decision.

School boards have voted to opt out of Colorado’s comprehensive sex education standards, to remove police from schools, and to bring police back.

Exactly how school boards operate can vary from district to district.

For example, in 2020, school boards in some districts voted on whether to move to online learning, while in others, the superintendent made that decision.

School board members don’t typically get involved in the details of

running the district. That’s the superintendent’s job.

School board members can’t discipline a teacher or principal or directly tell them what to do. They don’t set bus routes or decide which routes to cut if there’s a driver shortage. School board members don’t directly pick which schools to close.

In most situations, the superintendent will make a recommendation to the school board. The school board can vote to approve or reject the recommendation or ask for other options.

School board members also can raise awareness about problems and ask for policy changes. If enough board members agree, the superintendent will work on that idea.

Most school board members are elected by the registered voters in that district.

School board members serve staggered four-year terms. On a five-member board, three of the seats would be up for election one year. Then two years later, the other two seats would open up. The Denver school board has seven members, with four seats open one year and three seats open two years later.

Most school boards have term limits, so members can’t serve more than eight years total.

School boards always have an odd number of members so they don’t end up with a tie — though ties can still happen if someone skips a meeting or abstains from a vote.

Sometimes a school board member quits in the middle of their term. In that case, the other school board members choose someone to finish the term.

Sometimes school districts cancel school board elections because there aren’t enough candidates for a contested vote. That saves some money but means voters don’t have a choice in who runs the schools. Whoever volunteered becomes the school board member.

Some school districts elect school board members at large.

That means each school board member represents the entire district, rather than a specific region within it.

If your district elects members at large, you’ll see all the candidates on the ballot and can vote for as many candidates as there are open seats. If there are two open seats, you can vote for two candidates. If there are three open seats, you can vote for three candidates, and so on. The top vote-getters serve on the school board.

The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing is redesigning its case management process, naming a Colorado firm to manage responses for Adams and Denver counties beginning Nov. 1.

Colorado nonprofit group Rocky Mountain Human Services will provide streamlined case management services to individuals with disabilities or other complex needs requiring long-term, home, and community-based support.

The new contract is part of Colo-

rado’s redesigned case management system intended to make it easier for people needing services to navigate the system and get the care they need. It is designed to ensure that people have one place to go for questions and support and improve the quality of care they receive.

“We are proud and honored to be selected as the Case Management Agency for Denver and Adams Counties,” said RMHS executive director Shari Repinski. “It’s essential to reduce the burden of a complex and siloed system of care by creating a more inclusive and streamlined Long Term Care system in Colorado that recognizes and caters to the diverse needs of individuals, regardless of their disability. RMHS looks forward to making it easier for people to access care and to know that they have a trusted partner they can count on to treat them with the utmost respect and compassion.”

‘Taking No Chances’

The 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office and The Link, a community resource and assessment center in Thornton, offer free, 10-week programs to families of Adams County teenagers to help develop personal and interpersonal drug-resistance skills.

Sessions are from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Wednesdays. Call 720-292-2811.

The preparedness program focuses on older adults

The Adams County Health Department’s Emergency Preparedness & Response team celebrates National Preparedness Month each September. This year, the 2023 campaign theme is “Helping Older Adults Prepare for Disaster.”

The program will focus on older adults from communities disproportionally impacted by an event that is a man-made emergency or a natural disaster. We know older adults can face more significant risks regarding the extreme weather events and crises we now meet, especially if they live alone, are low-income, have a disability, or live in rural areas. This flyer, available in English and Spanish, is a powerful resource for viewers and readers.

Naloxone Training for Employees and Community Members

The Adams County Health Department’s Harm Reduction Team will supply all Automated External Defi-

brillator (AED) cabinets in government buildings with Naloxone this month. In addition to this resource, the team will offer Overdose Prevention Training for all staff interested in learning how to prevent, identify, and reverse an opioid overdose. Naloxone will be made available to take home after these trainings.

If you have any questions about the training or other resources, contact our Harm Reduction team at 303-363-3077 or at harmreduction@ adcogov.org.

Work Options FREE Culinary Training Program

a constitutional amendment approved by voters in 1992, requires that money collected in excess of a tax’s projected revenue be refunded unless voters let the government keep the money.

The increased tobacco and nicotine taxes were approved in 2020 through Proposition EE, which was placed on the ballot by Democrats in the legislature. The measure, which got the support of 68% of voters, gradually increases tobacco and nicotine taxes through 2027.

When the initiative was drafted, nonpartisan legislative staff predicted the increased taxes would generate $186.5 million in new revenue a year. But the revenue has been much higher than that — at around $208 million — which is why Proposition II was placed on the November 2023 ballot.

A similar situation played out after Coloradans legalized the sale and possession of recreational marijuana in 2012. In 2015, voters approved Proposition BB, which let the state keep recreational marijuana sales tax revenue collected above what was estimated and use the money predominantly for school construction.

II on the ballot through the passage of House Bill 1290 this year. All 31 Republicans in the General Assembly, as well as three Democrats, voted against the legislation.

$2.64 on July 1, 2027. The tax on other tobacco and nicotine products is currently 50% and set to rise to 62% starting in July 2027.

Where will the money go if Proposition II passes?

Supporters contend that higher taxes on tobacco and nicotine products discourage their use. They also argue that increasing funding for Colorado’s universal preschool program will improve educational and health outcomes for the kids who benefit from the instructions.

Groups supporting the ballot measure include Healthier Colorado, the Colorado Children’s Campaign, Children’s Hospital Colorado and Great Education Colorado.

Preschool for All Coloradans, the issue committee supporting Proposition II, had raised more than $291,000 through late September and spent only about $34,000. The top donors to the group are Healthier Colorado at $90,000, Save the Children Action Network at $86,000 and Gary Advocacy at $50,000. Healthier Colorado and Save the Children Action Network are nonprofits, while Gary Advocacy is a philanthropic limited liability company affiliated with nonprofit Gary Community Ventures.

“We’ve got a huge coalition of supporters and want to make sure everyone in Colorado understands that voting yes on Prop. II will increase access to early childhood education without raising taxes,” said Craig Hughes, a partner at Hilltop Public Solutions, the political firm that is

The tax rate will stay the same and the excess revenue would go toward Colorado’s existing preschool program, which this year began offering at least 10 hours a week of preschool in the year before they start kindergarten, as well as instruction for 3and 4-year-olds with disabilities.

That program has been popular, but it’s off to a rocky start, with some school districts suing the state over funding issues and religious schools suing over nondiscrimination requirements.

The money collected through Proposition EE went to K-12 education, rural schools and housing assistance in the first three years.

What exactly will happen if Proposition II fails?

If voters reject the ballot measure, the state will have to return nearly $24 million to cigarette and nicotine wholesalers and distributors through direct refunds and temporary tax breaks.

The state would also cut nicotine and tobacco taxes by 11.53% to avoid collecting excess taxes in the future.

For context: The taxes on a pack of cigarettes under Proposition HH are currently $1.94 and set to increase to

managing the Preschool for All Coloradans campaign.

What opponents say

There’s no organized opposition thus far to Proposition II. Several conservative leaders told The Colorado Sun they are more focused on defeating Proposition HH, the 10-year property tax relief plan also on the November statewide ballot.

The Centennial Institute, a policy think tank at Colorado Christian University, sent out a ballot guide opposing both II and HH. “Colorado has enough tax dollars,” the guide said.

“Any additional tax revenue collected should be returned back to the taxed individual or business.”

State Rep. Stephanie Vigil, of Colorado Springs, was one of the three Democrats who voted against House Bill 1290, the measure putting Proposition II on the November ballot. She said her “no” vote was more about the increased nicotine and tobacco taxes than letting the state keep the excess revenue generated by them.

“I had to signal my dislike for tax structures of these kinds,” Vigil said.

“I pledged this to my constituency, especially my libertarian constituents, that I’m not supportive of higher taxes on tobacco products — sin taxes. I find them rather regressive and not particularly helpful in encouraging people to quit smoking.”

But Vigil, who quit smoking eight years ago, said she’ll still vote for Proposition II.

VOICES Local school board are having some issues

O

utside concerning influences appear to be at play in this school board race.

One group of candidates is aligned with ulCROSS tra-conservative educational orgaCURRENTS nizations involving No Left Turn and Moms for Liberty.

Adams 12 has been targeted for takeover by ideologically driven groups that are Bill Christopher backing Ben Helgesen, Rebecca Elmore and Brian Klein.

On the other hand, there are three candidates who align with the teachers’ union and say they support success for ALL district students. They are Alexis, MarshHolschen, Lori Goldstein and Paula Battistelli who say they stand for putting the students first. Helgesen, Elmore and Klein indicate in previous social media posts their alignment with these ultra- conservative ideology organizations. However, in candidate forums and campaign literature they are quite bland and fail to disclose their feelings and positions. Examples of supporting the ultra-right include book banning, restrictions involving LGBTQ students, no accommodation for Trans student-athletes and supporting anti-masks during COVID. Observers say that these candidates are following the same approach as the Woodland Park School District debacle.

Here are examples of their social media statements.

Candidate Helgesen — “If History Colorado wants to be a venue for political activism and demonic pedophilia (the museum recently hosted a “kid-friendly” drag show called `Queer-liderness’ …., so be it for them.”

Another example is “In a recent email, Adams 12 Superintendent Chris Gdowski informed me that he wants these same kids to learn Critical Race Theory. It’s important for any parent, caregiver, staff member or community stakeholder

who opposes morally reprehensible doctrine to stand up and tell Mr. Gdowski and the District 12 Education Association that you won’t allow the union and its Marxist identity politics to corrupt free and public education!”

More examples of disturbing quotes

When Tri-County Health issued its COVID school mask mandate which barred counties from opting out, Candidate Elmore stated “It is time to write letters to the people making mandates and tell them that they will have civil and criminal charges. I have templates from attorneys that I will try and provide if interested.”

In reference to requiring masks and COVID vaccinations, Elmore stated “This is to keep parents under their thumb realizing their utter dependence upon them and power.

Thus, the ushering in of the “social agenda” and crt will not even be noticed or questioned.”

Candidate Klein also has notable quotes from social media. He stated “I bought a hose at Costco that kinks so much the damn thing went to a Pride parade.” (maybe too subtle for some) In reference to an earlier post by a woman regarding a sexual topic, Klein stated she was a “…,colossal blowhard. All this pontificating and BS speaking with such certainty. What a joke! What’s next, she going to become a man and chop off her boobs?”

Or how about his quote, “Sneaky Parents Dress Son Up As A Girl on First Day of School So Teachers Will Show Him How To Be A Boy.”” Obviously, the decisions on how you vote for school board candidates are your decision. However, voters need to be aware of such underlining and concerning thoughts as quoted above. Are Ben Helgesen, Rebecca Elmore and Brian Klein the caliber of candidates you wish to support and guide your children’s public education? I hope not.

Voters left in the dark on wards/districts advisory question

Westminster voters are being asked to state their opinion on an advisory question (not a Charter

amendment) on the Nov. 7 ballot.

It’s been a long circuitous route to finally have a straightforward question on the ballot regarding wards/ districts.

Do Westminster voters prefer the current all at-large approach to elect six city council members or would they prefer some type of a geographical representation via a wards/districts system? Here’s your opportunity to weigh in.

Many of you have expressed support for the latter over the past few years. I am quite surprised that city leadership both elected and managerial chose not to provide their thinking on this issue.

Back in the day, citizen groups were formed in Westminster on key ballot issues to help educate the electorate. Private funds were raised to provide campaign material to offer insight on the ballot propositions. In the alternative, the city could have produced a neutral “pros” and “cons” flyer on the advisory question as well as the “housekeeping” City Charter amendments.

By not taking the initiate to help educate the electorate, it seems like that leans toward a “no” vote from city council on wards/districts. I hope this is not the case as this is an issue which warrants a clear understanding and support of the full city council.

Recap of WPS new superintendent “below the radar” actions

I cannot help but believe Superintendent Swanson and the current five school board members assumed the public would not notice their “below the radar” tactics in selecting a new Superintendent of Schools. This is a classic “good ole boys” approach in keeping outside qualified, talented candidates from being considered for the highest ranked and highest paid administrator position in the entire school district. It allows the close-knit group in control to continue their hold on running the district.

Well, they were forced to move quicker than planned to avoid the chance that the Nov. 7 school board election might not go their way. If

incumbent Christine Martinez and candidates Mary Beth Murphy and Audrey Yanos were NOT elected, their opportunity to control the appointment of a new Superintendent would have slipped through their fingers. It’s important to track the sequence of events and the very short timing which occurred to appreciate the “hurry-up” actions.

Aug. 29 Pam Swanson announces plans to retire July 1, 2024.

Sept. 26: At a regular board meeting, Board member Orecchio asks Deputy Superintendent Gotto if she is interested in the Superintendent position. She indicated that she is.

Oct. 4: During a Board Candidates’ Forum, incumbent Christine Martinez was already aware of the special Board meeting called for Oct. 5 when Board authorizes Swanson to evaluate only internal employees who might be qualified to be Superintendent.

However, Martinez chose not to mention the intent of the special board meeting when questions came up about next steps i.e. national search to pursue hiring Swanson’s replacement.

Oct. 5: During a special board meeting, the board authorized Swanson to evaluate only internal employees.

Oct. 10: During the next regular board meeting, Swanson reported that Deputy Superintendent Jennifer Gotto is the only qualified internal candidate for the position.

The Board declared Dr. Gotto as the only “finalist candidate” for Superintendent. (Note-the published Board agenda did not have any item to act on “next steps” on Superintendent’s resignation).

An executive session was quickly called DURING that regular Board meeting to discuss what to do. Then the Board amended the agenda to include action on Superintendent’s vacancy as of July 1, 2024. This is when in the amended meeting agenda that Dr. Gotto is declared by the Board to be the only qualified candidate.

Why didn’t the current Board begin the process of recruiting a new Superintendent by hiring a recruiting firm to do a national search? Dr. Gotto could certainly apply and be considered under this scenario.

Adjoining school district Mapleton School District went through their Superintendent search earlier.

Their Board only considered internal candidates, BUT allowed eight weeks before closing the deadline to receive applications.

And in the equally dogmatic manner of Baker, Shilling bombastically says without any knowledge — let alone truth — that “70%” of Westminster’s homeless live on the streets because it’s a lifestyle choice: Shilling actually said that. That is, people choose to be hungry and vulnerably live outside in the hard rains and mud of spring, the searing heat of summer and the brutal cold of winter.

I’ve met at least 150 unique, unhoused women and men in our area.

Only one has ever said he prefers living in a tent, away from everyone else (that’s 0.007 of this population — maybe Shilling simply misplaced his decimal point?); the other 149 or so, they want to be housed. Like Baker, Shilling offers no real-world ideas of addressing homelessness; he just promotes falsehoods.

Carmelia, Pegg and Hott did offer ideas.

Bombast, misinformation and failures to sensibly address Westminster’s residents’ issues, is something we already have on Council.

This is how Baker, Shilling and Ireland will, as a voting bloc, dis-serve our city.

Choose, instead, intelligence, responsibility and thoughtful consideration. Choose Hott, Pegg and Carmelia.

They won’t cause your jaw to drop.

My jaw dropped … again.

Listening to the 10 candidates vying for the three contested seats on Westminster’s City Council answering residents’ questions at the candidates forum, only three clearly, intelligently demonstrated who should be elected: Amber Hott, Claire Carmelia and Tim Pegg; and, more clearly, who should not: Bruce Baker, Scott Shilling and Kristine Ireland.

Baker, Schilling and Ireland … Oh, my! The three in lockstep, the three mimicking one another, the three with both ignorance and ignoreance of the issues residents want addressed.

I shall focus on one as an example: Homelessness. (Full disclosure: I’ve been a weekly homelessness street outreach volunteer for 3-1/2 years in Westminster and Westminster-adjacent areas.)

As a city counselor, Baker is prone to name-calling, especially when he doesn’t get his way — even publicly calling the new City Manager (whom he helped hire) a “liar.” He also has publicly called people who don’t own their own homes (e.g., renters) “transients.” And he calls our unhoused women, men and children simply, “trespassers.” Name-calling is, of course, the time-dishonored means of demeaning and dehumanizing those who one promotes as below oneself. His homelessness solution: He has none, none that are practical, beneficial or even remotely humane. Go look it up … your jaw

Y

ou could call pumpkins an important symbol of autumn.

The minute September rolls around, pumpkin appears in every food imaginable from pumpkin-spice lattes to soups to pumpkin cereal. Huge cartons of pumpkins arrive in stores as we prepare for fall holidays.

But what do we know about pumpkins? How long have they been growing? Do they have other uses than decorations and pie? Why are some pumpkins different from the orange pumpkins we carved as children?

Here’s your chance to learn more about the orange — and sometimes white and even teal — gourds.

Bitter beginnings

The pumpkin began as a tiny fruit — yes, pumpkins are fruits — as long as 7,500 to 10,000 years ago in Mexico and Central America, according to Jennifer Ackerfield, head curator of natural history collections at the Denver Botanic Gardens.

The original fruit from the Cucurbita family, which is Latin for gourd, was tiny, hard and round, nothing like today’s pumpkins, and the plants were stinky. Historians hypothesize that the fruits were eaten by woolly mammoths, Ackerfield said, and there were six indigenous species, with one species growing now in the Denver Botanic Gardens’ York Street location.

While the plant was gross, as Ackerfield put

Halloween pumpkins are specifically bred for size, shape and the pumpkin-wall thickness, so they make better jack-o’-lanterns, according to Eric Hammond, CSU Extension director for Adams County.

“Recently there has been a lot more interest in unique shapes, sizes and textures, even those with warty textures,” Hammond said.

“Interestingly, the funky varieties are old-time varieties. We wouldn’t call them heirloom pumpkins, but it’s in a similar vein.”

He said pumpkins, like many fruits and vegetables, have a wide genetic diversity, and some plant breeders look for that.

“Sometimes they find wild varieties that are attractive, and they cross-breed them to get desirable traits,” Hammond said.

He said nowadays, people are looking for unusual-looking pumpkins, and growers are happy to take advantage of the demand for them.

“Unusual-looking pumpkins have always been there,” he said. “It’s just there wasn’t a demand for them until recently.”

If you want your pumpkins to last a lot longer and you are not carving them into jack-o’-lanterns, wipe them with a diluted bleach solution, which kills microbes, and the pumpkins will last a lot longer, Hammond said.

He advised people to compost their pumpkins after they have outlived their decorative purpose rather than throwing them away, so they don’t add to landfill waste.

Who knew?

• The largest pumpkin ever grown in Colorado

NS

weighed 1,729 pounds, and earlier this month, a pumpkin named Michael Jordan was crowned at the 50th World Championship Pumpkin WeighOff in California as the largest pumpkin ever grown, weighing 2,749 pounds.

• The Pumpkin Capital of the World is Morton, Illinois, which is the home of Libby’s pumpkin industry. About 12,300 acres of pumpkins are grown yearly in Illinois, the most of any state, and more than 1.5 billion pounds of pumpkins are grown yearly in the United States, according to the Farmers’ Almanac.

• Pumpkins were once considered a remedy for freckles and snakebites, the almanac said, and settlers cut the flesh into strips, dried them and used them to weave mats.

• Native Americans grew and ate pumpkins and their seeds long before the Pilgrims reached North America. Pilgrims learned how to grow and prepare pumpkins from the Native Americans. Pumpkin was most likely served at the first Thanksgiving feast in 1621, the almanac said.

• The earliest pumpkin pie made in America was different from today’s pumpkin pie. Pilgrims and early settlers made pumpkin pie by hollowing out a pumpkin, filling the shell with milk, honey and spices, and baking it, the almanac said.

• Each pumpkin has about 500 seeds, and there are 45 varieties of pumpkins, according to Good Housekeeping magazine.

• The first jack-o’-lanterns weren’t made from pumpkins. Instead, the Irish carved faces in turnips, and Ackerfield called them very scary looking. When Irish immigrants moved to America, they found pumpkins more suitable.

• Christopher Columbus brought pumpkin seeds, along with corn and potatoes, back to Europe, the almanac said.

DFF46 aims to entertain and create empathy

R

outines are easy things to fall into, especially when it comes to our viewing habits. Many find a genre or subject they connect with and not explore much else of what’s out there.

For 46 years, the Denver Film Festival has worked to get viewers out of their routines and exposed them to filmmaking from all over the world — films they otherwise might not be able to access. And it’s doing it again this year.

“We’re here to entertain, but at the same time, what’s unique about film festivals is the eye-opening experiences viewers can have,” said Matthew Campbell, artistic director at Denver Film. “We hope these stories induce empathy to the human condition, which is something cinema is uniquely positioned to do.”

The 46thDenver Film Festival runs from Friday, Nov. 3 through Sunday, Nov. 12 at several venues, including the Sie FilmCenter, Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver Botanic Gardens, AMC 9 + CO 10 and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.

As is always the case, the festival is brimming with viewing options, from the critically acclaimed opener, “American Fiction,” to dramas like “All of Us Strangers,” and thrillers

like closer, “I.S.S.” Whether you’re new to the festival Q” and “A Trailer Park Christmas,” COMING Actor/director or an old hand at navigating things, full buffet dinner, prizes and auction ATTRACTIONS Michael Shannon Campbell encourages all viewers items, and dancing.

and writer/director Andrew Haigh will both be on hand to be honored at the festival, as will numerous other filmmakers and creatives.

“Every year we Clarke Reader try to have a good balance of different types of films,” Campbell said.

“This year we have a really robust local films offering, so there are a lot of hidden gems in the lineup.”

All told, there will be 186 films (108 feature-length), so participants are really spoiled for choice. There are all kinds of themes audiences can select from, like Italian Showcase and Politics to LGBTQIA+ and CineLatinx. But no matter what path a viewer selects, they’re going to be joined by passionate film lovers.

“What excites me most during the festival is getting to interact with everyone and hear what they think about the films,” Campbell said. “We love bringing out the filmmakers and celebrating their work, and they love engaging with audiences and the communal aspect of a festival.”

to come with an open mind and try something that they normally wouldn’t.

“Having that in-person viewing experience is paramount for us,” he said. “Audiences get to illuminate their understanding of the world in a really great way. They can be entertained, educated and create some empathy at the same time.”

ELECTION FROM PAGE 8

Other school districts are divided into geographical regions, and each school board member represents a region. These school board members have to live in that region.

In some school districts, only voters who also live in that region get to vote in those school board races. If that’s the case in your district, you’ll see just the candidates for your area on the ballot. You can vote for one candidate, and the top vote-getter will represent that region.

In other school districts, such as Jeffco and Adams 12, school board members have to live in a certain region, but they have to win election districtwide. Every voter in the school district sees multiple school board races on their ballot,

and they’ll choose one candidate for each race.

Most Colorado school board members are unpaid volunteers.

State law allows school board members to be paid up to $150 a day for official business, and a few school boards, such as Denver and Sheridan, have decided to pay members small stipends.

A school board that wants to pay its members has to hold a public meeting on the idea and then vote on the pay package. Compensation doesn’t go into effect, though, until after the next election. Current board members can’t vote to pay themselves and would only get paid if they win re-election.

News organizations like Chalkbeat write about many school board elections.

Colorado Community Media’s newspapers for two dozen communities around the Denver area has information about candidates.

You can check your school dis-

Risen Savior Lutheran Church

trict website. Search for the words “school board” or “board meetings” or “election.” Many school districts list who is running and the dates and times of local candidate forums. Community groups like the League of Women Voters and educational nonprofits often host forums or panels where you can hear from the candidates in their own words or even ask them questions. You can also check out candidate websites and see how candidates describe themselves and talk about their priorities.

Read about the candidates or watch how they answer questions.

Think about how their views compare with yours or how their life experience might have prepared them. What connection do they have to local schools? What kinds of work have they done?

At the same time, be aware that school board candidates —like all politicians —sometimes use words that sound good to everyone but can mean different things to different people. If a candidate talks about strong neighborhood schools, listening to parents, or supporting teachers, look for more information about what they mean.

Colorado school board elections take place in odd-numbered years on the first Tuesday in November.

The next election is Nov. 7, 2023. If you’re already a registered voter, look for your ballot in the mail the

Weighing candidates

And how are we to decide between candidates for Westminster City Council seats this year? Should we go by the number and size of the signs and banners adorning our highways and byways? Should we decide based on age, gender and photogeneity? Moving closer to reality, should we gauge electability by the conduct of incumbent councilors since the last municipal election?

READER FROM PAGE 16

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Durand Jones at the Gothic Theatre

The R&B and soul genre is far more

For those readers who do not suffer from the obsessive habit of attending each and every city council meeting to observe the dysfunctional behavior of several council members, a pragmatic alternative is to read the interviews with all ten candidates in the recently published booklet and in this newspaper. Two words of caution, however: spend as much time reading as you would spend in a city council meeting and—more importantly—read between the lines.

If you take any given subject matter covered in these publications’ interviews—e.g., water use and conservation, homelessness, housing policy,

etc., and compare all the candidates’ responses with each other you may understand what is driving each of them.

For example, a candidate who denies the need for a new water treatment plant may not have visited, as I have done, the Semper plant and seen its dangerous condition. Between the lines this candidate may be touting their claim of saving taxpayer money in a way that will harm us long after said candidate has departed the governmental realm.

A candidate whose compassion for homeless citizens is tempered by describing them first as trespassers has— between the lines — no compassion at

all. A candidate characterizing those who may work in Westminster but can only afford to live here in an apartment as ‘entitled’ or ‘transient’ may, between the lines, be dreaming of a city planted with nothing less than single-family homes on large lots, denying young families or workers starting out in life the ability to live where they work.

You will note that I have not named names above. That should not be necessary. At election time we should all do the work ourselves to distinguish between candidates, and by now you should have the material in hand to do so.

Christopher Stimpson, Westminster

dynamic and complex than people give it credit for, and so many musicians are finding new ways to push the sound forward. As the leader of Durand Jones & The Indications, Jones has found a way to throw back to some of the genre’s classic sounds, while keeping a foot in the modern

soul world. That trend continues on his debut solo album, “Wait Til I Get Over,” which was released this spring.

In support of the album, Durand Jones will be stopping at the Gothic Theatre, 3263 S. Broadway in Englewood, at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 31.

Anyone who loves soul music, either

classic or modern, won’t want to miss it.

Colorado Supreme Court: Low ratings don’t harm school districts

BY YESENIA ROBLES CHALKBEAT COLORADO

The Adams 14 school district failed to show that state intervention caused any real harm or injury and has no basis to sue the state, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled this month.

The ruling leaves the state’s school accountability system intact but could have larger significance. The justices threw out a longstanding precedent known as the rule of Martin, which said that political entities that are subordinate to the state, such as school districts and counties, can’t sue the state for exercising normal oversight.

The justices also noted that the State Board of Education’s actions toward Adams 14 are allowed under the Education Accountability Act

and that Adams 14 did not challenge the legality of the law itself.

Justice Monica M. Márquez wrote the opinion, and all six other justices joined in. There were no dissenting opinions.

“A school district is not injured by receiving a low accreditation rating.

A low accreditation rating means that the district will receive additional resources from the state to facilitate improved performance — a process intended to help districts and their students, not harm them,” the court ruling states.

Education Commissioner Susana Córdova said the ruling means school improvement efforts in the district can continue “without the risk of being derailed by pending litigation.”

“We welcome the opportunity to continue to work closely with Ad-

ams 14 and build on the current work underway in the school district,” she said in a written statement.

“We know that a focus on student achievement by working together is the best way forward for the students, staff, families, and community of Adams 14.”

An attorney for the Adams 14 school district hailed the decision as a victory for local control, even though the justices upheld a lower court’s dismissal of the district’s lawsuit against the state.

“My little school district getting rid of a 53-year-old law that was being used against local governments and local school boards, is a big deal,” Adams 14 attorney Joe Salazar said of the rule of Martin. “Sounds like a good day to me.”

Having had the district’s case thrown out didn’t matter, Salazar

said.

Facing widespread opposition within the district and from neighboring communities, Córdova already had backed off a state order that the district should reorganize after years of low test scores. That order prompted the lawsuit in the first place.

“We don’t care; we already defeated reorganization,” Salazar said.

After agreeing with Adams 14 that the rule of Martin was harmful, the ruling says the state should only use another rule, known as the Wimberly rule, which says that to have standing to sue, a plaintiff must prove injury to a legally protected right. Under that rule, the court found Adams 14 still didn’t meet the bar for suing the state for relief.

State softball tournament beckons half-dozen northern area schools CCM north proves strong hub for softball powerhouses

BY STEVE SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

If this weekend’s state softball tournaments have a familiar feel to them, it may be because Holy Family, Frederick, Fort Lupton, Riverdale Ridge and Horizon high schools qualified a year ago.

First-round games are set for 10 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. this Friday, Oct. 20, at Aurora Sports Park, East Colfax Avenue and Tower Road. Semifinals and finals are set for Saturday, Oct. 21.

Here’s a breakdown of the northern teams heading into the weekend.

Fort Lupton Fort Lupton makes its sixth straight appearance in the state 3A tournament. The Bluedevils earned the 11th seed and will tangle with sixth-seeded Thomas Jefferson High School at 12:15 p.m. on Oct. 20.

The Bluedevils advanced to the second round of the state tournament each of the past two seasons.

Albert Vasquez took over the program in 2013. Since then, his teams have finished at .500 or better in every season except two.

Fort Lupton takes an 18-6-1 mark into this year’s tournament.

Vasquez called it “a tough year.”

“It was a struggle trying to have them understand what we were trying to accomplish,” Vasquez said.

“We kept preaching teamwork. We started coming together after the Brush tournament (in September).

We played well that Friday and not as well Saturday. We told them we have to play together; otherwise, we’re going to struggle the rest of the year.”

Fort Lupton won the class 3A Frontier League title with a perfect 6-0 mark.

“Last year’s group was never complacent,” Vasquez said. “We have

a new group this year that’s never been to the postseason. We gelled quickly. When we fell behind, it didn’t seem to phase them. We’re not one of those programs where we’re fortunate to have kids playing high (high-level) competitive ball.”

Frederick The Golden Eagles (19-7 this season) make their fourth appearance in a row at the state 4A tournament.

This year, Frederick drew the 11th seed and will face sixth-seeded Berthoud High School at 12:15 p.m. on Oct. 20.

Senior outfielder Makenzie Sais led Frederick with a .625 batting average and a .700 on-base percentage. Five of her 50 hits went for extra bases. Junior shortstop Avery Salisbury hit at a .434 clip this fall.

One-third of her 33 base hits went for extra bases. Payton Torres took care of most of the pitching duties.

She struck out 74 batters in 110 innings on the mound and had an earned-run average of 3.35. Elayna Fisher struck out 21 batters in her 33 innings of work.

The only coach the Golden Eagles have ever had, Roger Dufour, won his 400th career game earlier this season. The Golden Eagles were second in the class 4A Longs Peak League.

Holy Family The Tigers (24-1) finished second a season ago. This year, they drew the No. 1 seed in class 4A and will face Pine Creek in the opening round. Game time is 10 a.m. on Oct. 20.

Kaylee McDonald, a senior, leads the hitting effort with a .519 batting average this season. She has as many hits (40) as RBIs. Thirteen of her base hits are for extra bases.

Junior Jaelyn Sandoval compiled a

.486 batting average this fall. Nine of her 34 hits this season are for extra bases. Another junior, Isabella Arroyo, has a 0.96 earned-run average. In 86 innings of work, Arroyo allowed 11 earned runs and struck out 93 batters.

Holy Family’s only loss was to class 5A Chatfield High School in extra innings.

Horizon For the Hawks of Horizon, it’s their fourth straight appearance at state. The third-seeded Hawks (214) take on Fossil Ridge in the first round. First pitch is at 12:15 p.m. on Oct. 20.

Lily Mohr, a senior, hit .582 for the Hawks this season and also led the squad in home runs with 11. Hadley Hudson’s batting average was .512.

Twenty-one of her 43 hits were good for extra bases. Senior pitcher Madison Vollmar’s earned-run average was 2.48 in just over 53 innings of work. She recorded 59 strikeouts.

Hudson piled up 72 strikeouts in her 55 innings on the mound. Her earned-run average was 3.18.

Horizon finished second in the Front Range League this season.

The Hawks advanced as far as the state 5A semifinals in 2021.

Riverdale Ridge The Ravens (23-2) earned their best seed – second – in school history this year. Riverdale Ridge takes on 15th-seeded Roosevelt at 12:15 p.m. on Oct. 20. This marks the Ravens’ fifth straight appearance at state. The school has fielded a softball team for six seasons.

Infielder Peyton Saenz tops the hitting effort with a .597 average.

The freshman pounded out 43 hits this fall, 20 of which went for extra bases. Mady Ortiz hit at a .487 clip and drove in 32 runs. Brynn Trujiollo had an earned-run average of 1.65 over 55 ⅔ innings of work. She struck out 89 batters.

Riverdale Ridge, which went through the class 4A Longs Peak League season without a loss, advanced to the state semifinals in 2021. Coach Ray Garza, the only Ravens’ coach in the history of the program, won his 100th game at the helm earlier this season.

SCHOOLS FROM PAGE 20

“The State Board actions that Adams 14 challenges are expressly permitted or required by the Education Accountability Act, the facial legality of which Adams 14 does not challenge,” the ruling states.

Adams 14 had made several arguments that the Supreme Court grouped into four sets. Among them, the district argued that the state violated the district’s right to local control when the State Board used an external State Review Panel to evaluate the capacity of the district’s leadership and when it reviewed its contracts with partners.

The court ruling states that the district’s right to local control has to be balanced with the state’s obligations to oversee schools, and that in simply reviewing leadership or contracts, the state didn’t actually restrict the district’s operations.

The ruling also states that the State

Board was following the law in taking those steps.

Another argument Adams 14 made was that the state set cut scores for tests that led to school districts with more students from lower income or non-English speaking families being more likely to earn low ratings, causing the districts harm based on their populations.

In this case, the Supreme Court’s ruling found that the cut scores don’t directly cause a district to lose accreditation or be forced into reorganization. “Many intervening steps must take place,” the ruling states, meaning that having that be the potential injury claimed in the lawsuit was “‘overly indirect and incidental’ and too far removed from the State Board’s use of cut scores” to constitute injury.

In the case of Adams 14, the district has been rated low performing since 2010. It has been under state improvement plans of some sort since at least 2017 and has not yet managed to earn higher ratings.

In 2022, the State Board ordered

the district to undergo reorganization with neighboring districts.

Reorganization could have meant closing some schools, shifting boundaries, or letting neighboring districts take over parts or all of Adams 14. But the neighboring districts that appointed members to the reorganization committee declared their support for Adams 14, and ultimately, the committee submitted a plan that said any reorganization would be harmful.

The new state commissioner this year approved that recommendation and released the district from that State Order.

Adams 14 is still under another State Board order that requires it to be working with an outside group to manage and improve the district.

Adams 14 had been working with TNTP, formerly known as The New Teacher Project, but over the summer, negotiations broke down after the district asked the group to scale back its work in the second year.

The Adams 14 school board approved a new contract with TNTP in

September, but state education department staff told the State Board of Education that the contract doesn’t meet State Board requirements.

State officials said much of the required work is happening, but some is being handled by other subcontractors or district staff.

And despite the state education department increasing school improvement funding to Adams 14 to a total of $1.2 million, the new TNTP contract is worth just $395,587.

The State Board of Education will hold a rehearing on how to approach school improvement efforts in the district next spring.

Córdova said the State Board will continue to work in compliance with state law and the ruling does not make it easier for school districts to sue the state.

Nonetheless, Salazar said he’s sure the state’s accountability law and system are likely to see more legal challenges.
