French: Passionate about supporting our public schools

Ballots have arrived — I will be voting “yes” on 5C The Roaring Fork School District Mill Levy Override!. Despite being the eighth wealthiest state in the nation, Colorado ranks in the bottom half of states for per-pupil school funding. The Roaring Fork Valley is the fourth most expensive place to live in Colorado but ranks 16th in teacher pay, meaning it’s hard to recruit and retain staff.

Colorado rejected 38 homeschool enrichment programs. Now officials will weigh stricter permanent rules.

Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Over the summer, state officials said yes to only 14 of 54 homeschool enrichment programs that applied for approval. It was the first step in a broader effort to increase oversight of a controversial slice of the public education system that has seen massive growth in recent years. On Thursday, the nine-member State Board of Education will take another step in the process, discussing permanent rules that will govern publicly funded programs for homeschoolers going forward. Two proposals under consideration, though filled with technical definitions and legalese, highlight some of the gaping loopholes that private enrichment providers used in recent years to offer unusual or pricey activities to homeschoolers, or money to their parents, using taxpayer dollars. The proposed rules ban funding for things like ski lessons, private piano lessons, and lacrosse club fees, and bar homeschool programs from giving parents loaded debit cards for purchases. The rules also limit the number of fee-based field trips each semester — a reaction to enrichment programs

Public school groups in Colorado jumping in on Trump-backed tax-credit scholarship program

Colorado may be leading the way among a small band of optimists who see opportunity for public schools in a new Trump-backed tax credit that others say will spell doom. A loose coalition of public school supporters in Colorado are hustling to take advantage of the program, which reimburses taxpayers up to $1,700 for donations to scholarship-granting organizations that then give the money to families for educational expenses. Supporters anticipate public school students could use the money for things like tutoring or SAT prep.

Colorado high school forfeits homecoming football game amid investigation into opponent

This story has been updated to add new quotes and information. While teams around the country have forfeited games due to lack of players, one Colorado high school has will forfeit its upcoming homecoming game for a completely different reason. Per a report from KRDO News, Air Academy (CO) has forfeited its upcoming game against Lutheran (CO) citing that they could not safely field the team due to a lack of a coaching staff. The decision comes after KRBO reported that Lutheran was involved in two separate incidents where racist remarks were made in games against Sand Creek (CO) and Rampart (CO). All games between Air Academy and Lutheran that were scheduled for this week have been cancelled, including the junior varsity and freshman games. Academy District 20 Chief Communication Officer Mark Belcher provided this statement to USA TODAY Sports: "To provide additional depth and clarity, recently, Rampart High School administrators and athletic staff reviewed two concerns resulting from football contests involving Lutheran High School. These incidents were reported as racial remarks directed at Rampart students and supporters, and information was provided to Lutheran High School and the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA).
