Take A Bow The iconic dance studio, Colorado School of Dance, is celebrating 20 years and a million dreams.

Lisa Tuska grew up dancing. She has always loved it. Her passion carried her through college where she graduated from Ohio University in Dance Training. From there she opened her first dance studio in rural Ohio and grew it into a thriving business with over 400 dancers. Her husband's career dictated a move to Colorado and they landed here in Parker.

Lisa enrolled her children at local dance studios but was not content with the training that was available. Together with Amy Colwell and Karen Levine, the three mothers decided the best solution was to open their own studio that could give their students the instruction they all desired. And just like that, Colorado School of Dance was born.

The studio opened in 2002 as a one-room dance program in the Stroh

OCTOBER 2022 7

Ranch Community Center. Since that time, it has become one of the most iconic studios in the state and even garners national attention, having won several national titles. What began as a desire to provide dancers proper technique and a healthy, well-balanced dance training, has become the industry standard for all others to emulate.

One of the things Lisa and her studio are best known for is the Nutcracker. The annual tradition is as engrained in the community as the holiday season itself. Starting in 2003, the aim of the CSD (Colorado School of Dance) was to create a community Nutcracker, not just one for the studio. The event is sold out every year and often only days after tickets go on sale. This year, PACE made the contraversial decision to bring in a production from out of town. That decision that has been bemoaned by locals and an outcry from the community has caused Town officials to answer some tough questions. But Lisa and her staff handled it with class. They will still be putting on their annual show, just on different dates. And ticket sales have been as frantic ever.

Given the renoun, the prestige, and the reputation of such a studio, you might expect to find yourself in a very "sterile" business environment when you walk through the doors at CSD, but nothing could be further from the truth. They are welcoming, unassuming, and humble. The staff and dancers are a family.

Talking with Lisa and her staff it is easy to fall in love with this dance studio. They have created an environment that is steeped in excellence, yet family-friendly. They are truly an elite program, but still just our community studio. All because these three mothers just wanted to teach dance.

A former student summed up the influence that CSD has on its dancers, staff, parents and community.

I came to Colorado School of Dance in 2004 in search of a more serious dance education than I was getting elsewhere. I began half-way through the year and was instantly welcomed by Lisa Tuska and her staff. We would rehearse in a tiny, one-room studio and I think there may have been all of 40 students enrolled. In 2005, I was selected for CSD’s very first competition team and some of my best memories in high school were performing with that team. I remember in 2006 when Lisa opened up her new larger location a few blocks from the original and we were so excited to have three massive studios! Upon graduating in 2008, I remember feeling like I was leaving something more than a dance studio behind; I was leaving my family.

Three years ago, I returned to CSD to teach children’s classes on Saturdays. I now teach multiple days each week and I am the new Communications Manager! It is really special getting to work in my second home and pursue something I am so passionate about. It’s beyond incredible seeing how our studio has grown and flourished. CSD now enrolls close to 600 students and operates out of a 10,000 square-foot community center.

What is even more special than getting to work in such a meaningful place, is that my daughter is starting classes this year. She is only a year old, but will be taking our Mommy and Me class on Wednesday mornings. I cannot wait to see her walk through the doors as a student and build her own community at CSD. -Hannah Fitzgerald (Former student, current instructor and parent) 8 SEARCHCASTLEROCK

What Additional Funding Would Mean for Castle Rock Schools

By Erin Kane, Superintendent, Douglas County School District

You’ve likely heard about the funding challenges our school district is facing. But what does that mean for our schools here in Castle Rock?

It’s easy to assume that when home prices are high, and many new homes are being built, that property taxes for our schools would go up. Unfortunately, that’s now how the School Finance Act works in Colorado. Think of school funding like a bucket – first, the bucket gets filled with local funding, then the state fills in the rest (when local funding goes up - the state contributes less to fill that bucket).

However, we can change the size of our bucket with a Mill Levy Override (MLO) and Bond, which would provide more local funding to our schools.

More Competitive Pay for Our Teachers and Staff DCSD’s MLO is currently significantly less than other school districts. For example, DCSD receives nearly $2,000 less per student compared to Cherry Creek School District. This greatly impacts our ability to pay our teachers and staff competitively. Additional funding via an MLO would make it possible for us to pay our amazing teachers and staff more competitively – that includes teachers, bus drivers, custodians, educational assistants and more right here in our Castle Rock schools. One of our neighboring school districts is paying teachers, on average, upwards of $18,000 more per year. As you can imagine, that pay increase is difficult to ignore, especially during tough economic times.

A New School for Crystal Valley Ranch / An Expansion for Mesa Middle School It seems anywhere you look around Castle Rock new homes are being built. And that means more students are attending our schools in the area. However, this can lead to crowding - and some of our schools are already near or at capacity. Additional funding through a Bond would enable DCSD to construct a new school in Crystal Valley Ranch – and also add an expansion to Mesa Middle School. That would help alleviate crowding in our other schools.

Cost to Residents If DCSD were to pass a $60 Million Mill Levy Override and a $450 Million Bond, it would cost homeowners $1 per week per $100,000 of home value (assessed actual value). For a home with an assessed actual value of $500,000 that would be $5 per week. For a home with an assessed actual value of $1,000,000, that would be $10 per week.

The MLO and Bond would be fixed dollar amounts, meaning the cost per homeowner would not increase as home valuations rise. In fact, the cost would diminish over time as more homes and businesses are created (more people would ultimately be sharing the cost).

I hope we can count on you to learn more about how our schools are funded. Visit our website at www.dcsdk12.org/ funding.

Why Our Schools Matter

By Erin Kane, Superintendent, Douglas County School District

Schools are an integral part of our neighborhoods, our economies, and our lives. As Douglas County residents, we want our amazing community to always be an attractive place to live, work and play. But, believe it or not, approximately 70 percent of Douglas County residents do not currently have school-aged children in their household. Yet our schools continue to play an important role in many ways.

High-Quality Education First and foremost, our schools provide Douglas County children with a high-quality education as well as post-secondary readiness so that each student is prepared for life after high school whether that be college, military or career.

Employment The Douglas County School District is the largest employer in our county with 8,600 staff – and 72% of those employees live right here in Douglas County.

Home Values A high-quality school system, which requires high-quality teachers and staff, attracts businesses and residents to our thriving community. And this helps keep our home values strong. An analysis by the National Association of REALTORS® confirms a positive correlation between thriving school districts with strong enrollment and increased home values.

Future Workforce High-quality education provides a pipeline of future skilled employees for our community’s workforce. DCSD schools currently offer a variety of career and technical education opportunities that provide our students with real-world experience and certifications in industries such as culinary, healthcare, robotics, construction, manufacturing, entrepreneurship, culinary, automotive, welding, cosmetology, fire sciences, biotechnology, and more. These offerings continue to grow and evolve with high-demand careers.

College Savings DCSD offers concurrent enrollment opportunities; students can earn both high school and college credits simultaneously. In the 2021-2022 school year this saved Douglas County families nearly $3.7 million in college tuition!

Attract Businesses High-quality schools attract businesses to relocate to our community, providing jobs and economic growth for our county.

Community Events and Gatherings Our schools serve as a hub for many important community events and gatherings.

As you can see, our schools benefit our communities in so many ways. And, this is why here in DCSD we are continuously engaging with our community to learn more about how we can meet the needs of each of our 64,000 students. Coming in the 2023-2024 school year, we will be opening a new Alternative Education Campus (VALE Venture Academy of Leadership and Entrepreneurship) next to Chaparral High School in Parker. In addition, we will be offering expanded Career and Technical education opportunities at the new Legacy Campus (former Wildlife Experience building) in Lone Tree. The new CTE programs at the Legacy Campus will not replace or relocate any of the current CTE courses offered at DCSD high schools, but will expand and complement them.

The future is bright here in DCSD and we are proud to be an important part of our community!

As always, Lena is the BEST! She really takes care of her clients and I rely on her advice 100 percent. My hair looks & feels so good after she colors and cuts it. I would definitely recommend Lena if you want to consistently get the 5 star customer care. ~ Teresa Sierra was so nice and my daughter’s haircut turned out perfectly! ~ Lily As always Kat blew it out of the water with what I asked for. I showed her a picture and she replicated it to a tee, her work is honestly unbelievable. Not only that but she’s so personable and easy to talk to, I look forward to my appointments with her because not only do I leave with perfect hair every time but I also have fun during the whole appointment. ~ Jackie
