Smith STEAM Academy will close at the end of the school year after the Denver school board voted 4-2 Thursday to shutter it. The high school, which was modeled on historically Black colleges and universities, has just 24 students this year . Board Vice President Monica Hunter and member John Youngquist voted no. Hunter, a former Denver teacher who works for the statewide teachers union, asked about pausing the vote until an agreement granting concessions to teachers at the school could be finalized. Superintendent Alex Marrero said the school district was done negotiating. He said the two sides verbally agreed on a $1,000 payment to the teachers, plus protections for international teachers with work visas. Marrero said the district rejected other requests. Hunter said those included giving non-tenured teachers two paid days off to interview for other jobs. “The rationale is this is precedent setting,” Marrero said, “and potentially we have some more (school) consolidations coming, and it would not behoove us

Announcements and Calendar for This Week!
I want to thank everyone for their messages of sympathy and condolence in the passing of my “baby brother” Jerry. We buried him on his 82nd birthday so we truly held a “Celebration of Life” with a birthday party complete with cards, balloon, flowers, and a chocolate cupcake! He was buried in Pomeroy, WA, attended by close family members in a spot that overlooks the beautiful Palouse Valley of rolling hills and wheat fields. We’re pretty sure he and our dad are dancing their nights away with the lovely ladies and musicians of the cemetery! His kind of honor!
