GOAL High School opens administration center after $9.5M renovation
GOAL High School , a Pueblo-based online public charter school with more than 40 drop-in locations across Colorado, recently opened its new administration center following a $9.5 million renovation of two buildings on one campus. On Oct. 27, the school celebrated the grand opening of the new center, which serves as a statewide support hub for school operations, with around 60 employees working there. GOAL High School CEO Jill Toussaint said the new building "represents so much more than a new space." "It represents the people, the perseverance, and the belief in our mission that have brought us to where we are today,” she said in a news release. GOAL High School Board President Ted Del Duca said it provides a foundation for the school’s future. “We needed this foundation to build to where we’re going to go. We just keep growing,” he said in the release. “I always get asked, ‘Well, how big does it need to be?’ Well, we don’t know how high it will go. We’re just going to help kids, and this building helps us do that more effectively.” Sports: Meet the 2026 Greater Pueblo Sports Association Hall of Fame inductees The two buildings on the

Pueblo (CO) Voters Reject Funding for New Apparatus and Gear
PUEBLO — Pueblo voters rejected a ballot measure that would have raised the sales tax to fund equipment for local fire departments. Ballot Question 2A proposed a 0.25% increase in the city’s sales tax — the equivalent of 25 cents on every $100 purchase. The revenue would have funded future fire truck purchases, radio equipment, and other specialized gear.
