In the growing social media war against journalism, reality is collateral damage

A

DAVE PERRY Editor

mid the cacophony of weird and wild events during the past few weeks came one flashing red light on the global dashboard that spells serious trouble .

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau clobbered Facebook parent company Meta this week for suppressing Canadian news content about deadly wildfires in northwest Canada.

“It is so inconceivable that a company like Facebook is choosing to put corporate profits ahead of ensuring that local news organizations can get up to date information to Canadians,” the prime minister told reporters this week.

Seriously?

Since the beginning of the internet, companies like Yahoo and Google have systematically stolen the expensive work of news media around the world and used it to lure advertisers to their own search engines and websites.

Giants like Facebook and Twitter only perfected the scheme where newspapers from The Sentinel to The New York Times would voluntarily broadcast their journalism anywhere and everywhere for free.

After decades of being bled to death by the scheme — where news media organizations went willingly — suddenly people like Trudeau are realizing the danger in the loss of real journalism brought on by social media companies and others.

You see, Meta officials threatened earlier this summer to block real news content from Canadian Facebook users because of a new law there requiring giant tech companies like Meta, Google, Twitter and others to pay real journalism publishers for linking to or repurposing news content.

Canadian officials figured that Meta would make an exception for lifeand-death news stories about the catastrophic wildfires in that country’s Northwest Territories.

They figured wrong.

Companies like Facebook, Twitter and Google only became wildly profitable because they didn’t have to pay for the content that drew billions of viewers, which then became attractive to advertisers.

The problem for all of the planet is that these tech companies have bled off almost all the advertisers that funded the journalism that has informed, entertained, saved lives and ensured democracy for a very long time.

Trudeau, like many others, can plainly see that as newspapers and news media starve to death, the dearth of credible journalism and news threatens lives during a crisis and overall.

So as Canadian officials pleaded with Facebook to relent on their threat and allow users to share legitimate news about fire escape routes or smoke threats, Meta told all of Canada to suck eggs.

“This is Facebook’s choice,” Trudeau said. “In a democracy, quality local journalism matters, and it matters now more than ever before when people are worried about their homes, worried about their communities, worried about the worst summer for extreme events that we’ve had in a very long time.”

This is all coming to a Facebook or Twitter account near you.

Meta social media Facebook, Instagram and its new Twitter-competitor, Threads, have all made clear they’re no longer “interested” in allowing their users to see legitimate news content.

The Sentinel is among others who’ve seen the effect of Facebook algorithms ratcheting down how many of our Facebook followers can see our news posts. Legit journalism companies have seen the squeeze from Twitter as well, which has essentially called all-out war against credible news sites.

Social media aren’t alone in refusing to hand over cash to journalism companies and orgs that keep people looking.

“Google’s owner, Alphabet, also said it planned to remove Canadian news links in response to the new law, although it hasn’t followed through yet,” the AP wrote last week.

Instead, the 25% of Americans who get their news via social media will get retweets of Donald Trump’s rampant, racist rants and lies, unadulterated by credible journalists able to separate fact from fiction and propaganda.

Between the cat videos, frontseat-of-the-car snark and kitchen-video voice-overs, first Canadians, and eventually everyone, will be substituting the weird and dangerous rants of extremists for real news of the day.

While you may still dial into the Sentinel, the Denver Post or the Dallas Morning News for your daily dose

of reality, millions of others will scroll past endless indoctrinations by the likes of former GOP gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl, who posted endlessly about local schools being overrun with “furries” kids who peed in elementary school litter boxes.

Really.

There will be endless social-media fury from Colorado GOP Congressperson Lauren Boebert, who yesterday assured readers on Twitter, “Biden just issued more restrictions on energy production...When your gas prices continue to go up, be sure to thank a Democrat!”

In reality, the United States is producing more oil than it ever has, and has is an oil exporter. The United States became the world’s top oil producer in 2018 and continues to be, according to oil industry sources. Gasoline prices are the result of market forces, not political whims.

And absent legit media sources on Twitter and other social media, Donald Trump will be able to continue his malevolent schemes unchecked.

“IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!” Trump wrote on Truth Social earlier this month, clearly threatening witnesses in a federal criminal case against him.

Without credible, legit media presence, social media will become a dream come true for propagandists and extremists.

It doesn’t mean that everyone should just turn off their Facebook accounts. But press back. Share news stories that matter. Most importantly, dial direct into your local newspaper, subscribe and donate at least as much as you spend on an iced latte once a week to keep democracy and reality, along with news media, alive.

Alarming statewide student test scores call for a crisis plan

E

ach spring, students across almost all grades, and across the state, are required to take an ever-changing battery of standardized tests intended to reveal individual and collective academic skills, primarily math, language arts and science.

The generations-old drill of expecting students to try their best and hardest on dull and difficult exams that they know have no meaningful consequence has long been a dull and difficult issue for the public, educators and lawmakers to master.

Most experienced educators admit that the vast majority of students do not put much effort into preparing for or taking these tests, and the results are not in any way an accurate assessment of most students’ academic prowess.

Despite that, there is some value in that the tests are given, pretty much, to all students, and they’re given at about the same time each year.

Like most wary and adept teachers, we’ll stipulate the year-over-year value in the system, despite its lack of accuracy.

That’s where the bad news gets worse.

Like students nationwide, test scores dove during the worst of the pandemic, reflecting an academic malaise that struck nearly every student in the state, and especially those who were already struggling before the pandemic overwhelmed public schools.

While the most recent results from students tested last spring — the first time since some normalcy was reintroduced to public schools and attendance — showed tepid progress, the overall picture is dismal.

Student scores before the pandemic were worrisome. Current statewide scores, especially among some schools, communities, demographics and districts, are harrowing.

Consider that in the Cherry Creek schools district, one of the top-testing districts in the state, only about half of all tested students met or exceeded grade-level expectations in language arts, the other half essentially failed.

Despite that alarming news, the district as a whole has improved by a few points since 2019, and the Cherry Creek district tests somewhat better than the statewide average. Simply put, about half of all students across all grades in the district, and the state, flunked their English test.

Even worse are local and statewide math scores, revealing that six in every 10 students flunked a math test.

Again, savvy teachers can assure everyone that the students who failed these tests can actually muster better prowess than the test results indicate, and that the regular process of teaching and assessment is far more accurate. But even generously stipulating all that and boosting scores about 25% across the board, one-in-four students are flunking core skills.

The picture becomes far more grim when you drill down to poorer and minority students. Statewide, Black and Hispanic students scored 24-30 points lower than the already alarming statewide levels than their white or Asian peers.

The gap in scores between students considered living in poverty, and those who don’t, is about the same, 30 percentage points.

Even in a relatively affluent school district like Cherry Creek, only 17% of students tested at Prairie Middle School in Aurora met or exceeded expectations in language arts, and only 8% of students met or exceeded expectations in math.

In Aurora Public Schools, only about 25% of all tested students met or exceeded grade-level standards, and only 15% of those students met or exceeded math standards.

At Aurora West College Preparatory Academy, a mere 6% of students met or exceeded the mark in language arts, and only 1% met or exceeded grade level expectations in math.

Even dismissing the overall accuracy of these tests, as a year-over-year gauge, these numbers are astounding and warrant state and local officials to hit the panic button.

It isn’t that teachers and school systems aren’t working to ensure schools across the Aurora, and the state, aren’t primed and capable of providing quality education. It means that these schools and teachers are overwhelmed and understaffed to take on the challenges they face, especially in light of the great academic recession sparked by the pandemic.

These scores are reflective of a state that ranks near the bottom of all states for spending on public education, even despite some recent gains.

It simply is not enough, and the damage created by students’ widespread lack of core academic skills hurts entire lives and the entire state.

Harmed even further are poor and minority students falling even deeper into the so-called learning gap.

State and local lawmakers have a critical duty to not just help sound the alarm in light of all this, they have the duty to come to the aid of schools and turn this around.

No surprise that Black judges are targets of the MAGA movement

I

t is hardly surprising that Black judges and prosecutors are being targeted by Donald Trump and his MAGA support-

ers.

Earlier this month, Abigail Jo Shry, a Donald Trump supporter, was held without bond on federal charges of threatening to kill U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, who is presiding over the case against Trump for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election. Prosecutors said Shiry, who is white, contacted Chutkan’s office and made death threats and racist remarks.

“If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you,” Shry said to Chutkan, who is Black, according to an affidavit from a DHS officer. “So, tread lightly, b—- … You will be targeted personally, publicly, your family, all of it.”

Shiry told Department of Homeland Security officials she didn’t really intend to murder the judge, but because of her sinister behavior, she’s facing a federal charge that carries up to a five-year sentence.

It doesn’t require a rocket scientist to conclude that Shiry is a mentally-unhinged person who has been seduced, brainwashed, and manipulated by Donald Trump and his gang of right-wing partners in crime. Trump and friends have been phenomenally successful in psychologically manipulating his angry, largely misguided cult of diehard followers that he is their savior, and that he is unjustly under relentless siege by a well-educated, elitist media apparatus hellbent on destroying him and the larger American culture that they envision.

These are the men and women who wish to: · Make it harder for Black people to vote. · Encourage people to be weary and resentful of non-white immigrants. · Convince everyone that transgender people are freaks of nature. · Persuade homophobic people that granting LGBTQIA people equal rights somehow takes away their own rights. · Redefine and whitewash the evils of slavery. · Label rhetoric touting any religion other

than Christianity as un-American.

In essence, this sums up the current Republican platform.

Sadly, this is nothing new. Paranoia and populist rage has been part of American history since the inception of this nation. This type of hostility and resistance toward change – and a romantic attachment toward anti-intellectualism – was rampant during the early to mid-19th century in Jacksonian America.

We saw it with the political left (and some segments of the right) during the New Deal of the 1930s. Several decades later, the religious right managed to promote a populist spirit that derided gays, feminists, minorities and other non-White, non-Christian folk during the late 1970s and 1980s to the present day. Such rage is often politically and cyclically based, usually when their perceived opponents acquire political, social or economic gains.

Jingoistic populism, fear, resentment, xenophobia and other vices aside, the major factor in the overwhelming, irrational hatred of change is deeply rooted in racial and cultural resentment. This is particularly the case for MAGA supporters, sons of the Confederacy and other citizens who are either sympathetic to or associated with similar groups.

Additionally, continuing demographic changes are creating even more anxiety among this crowd. Being a numerical minority is a very disturbing prospect for those who long for an earlier era. Obviously, it would be wise for these individuals to accept the fact that racial diversity and pluralism are now permanent factors in American society. The days of a racial homogeneous, pre-1960, Norman Rockwell, “Leave it to Beaver” America is no longer a reality and, quite frankly, never existed.

It’s long past time for these MAGA folks to move into the 21st century, get with the program and deal with reality.

AURORA’S STRONG-MAYOR ADVOCATES AND OPPONENTS ARGUE BALLOT LANGUAGE IN COURT

Arapahoe County Judge Elizabeth Volz listens to arguments in the Aurora ballot initiative case Aug. 17, 2023.

SCREEN GRAB FROM 9NEWS NEXT REPORT

C

oncerns about the presentation of a proposal to empower Aurora’s mayor that could appear before voters this fall were aired in district court Aug. 17, as representatives of the city and the strong-mayor campaign defended the proposed language.

The title and summary of the item that would appear on the fall ballot were singled out for scrutiny by opponents of the proposal backed

by Mayor Mike Coffman.

Attorneys Thomas Rogers and Mark Grueskin argued on behalf of Charlie Richardson, a former city official and instigator of the lawsuit, that the attempts to summarize the measure leave out key parts of the proposal and fail to adhere to a rule in the city’s charter limiting ordinances to a single subject.

“We ask you to protect the voters of Aurora, to give them more detail, to give them enough detail to make an informed choice here,” Rogers told Arapahoe County District Court Judge Elizabeth Volz. “It’s a power that statute gives you, and we hope that you will exercise it.”

Lawyer Suzanne Taheri appeared on behalf of representatives of the petition that was signed by voters, and Thomas Snyder represented the city, which signed off on the language that was included in the petition forms.

BY MAX LEVY, Sentinel Staff Writer

Taheri said the strong-mayor measure did adhere to a single subject because its various parts — which include changes to mayor and council pay, eliminating emergency ordinances as a category of legislation and the creation of a chief of staff position — all proceed from empowering the mayor and changing the city’s system of government from a council-manager system to a mayor-council system.

Snyder argued the alternative language proposed by Richardson’s attorneys would be too long, containing about two and a half times more words, and that it was designed to be unappealing to voters.

“We believe that the ballot title that was set was fair. It was brief. It gave a fair and accurate summary of the meaning and intent of the proposed measure,” he said.

“The proposed ballot language, which is very long, appears to be designed to elicit a ‘no’ vote, … has an unnecessary level of detail, does not meet the city’s standard of being brief and it should not be adopted.”

Snyder also stressed that the city was not taking a position for or against the proposal.

The campaign to empower Aurora’s mayor has been dogged by controversy, with opponents criticizing alleged deception on the part of petition circulators, who they say downplayed or failed to mention the significance of the part of

the proposal that would empower the mayor, giving that person the ability to veto legislation and unilaterally hire and fire city employees.

Instead, petition circulators allegedly focused on part of the proposal that would reduce the number of consecutive terms council members may serve from three to two. While Taheri said the strong-mayor component was at the heart of the legislation, the organization behind the measure styled itself “Term Limits for a Better Aurora” until July.

Coffman’s support for the measure and his refusal to discuss his involvement until July has been another source of contention, with other City Council members describing the measure as a power grab.

The mayor has since said he believes making the bureaucracy of the city report to a single elected official would provide more accountability than having it report to a city manager appointed by the 11-member council as a whole.

Richardson’s lawsuit was filed separately from a protest submitted Aug. 14 to the office of Aurora’s city clerk, which seeks to overturn the clerk’s initial finding that supporters had done the necessary work and collected enough signatures for the item to make the ballot. A hearing on the protest is scheduled to take place Aug. 30.

Volz said she would deliver her ruling in the form of a written order no later than Aug. 21.

METRO AROUND AURORA

Andrews drops out of Aurora mayoral race, leaving Marcano as Dem frontrunner against Coffman Rob Andrews has called off his bid for Aurora mayor, leaving Councilmember Juan Marcano as the most prominent Democratic challenger to incumbent Mike Coffman.

Andrews said Tuesday that he decided to pull out to avoid splitting the vote and defer to other candidates who “did a lot of work prior to getting in the race.”

“That’s not the most politically correct thing to say, but I think each one of them had done a lot of work, and for me, I’m going to go and do more work in the community as best I can,” he said.

“I think Aurora is at a critical point, and political posturing is just not important right now. I think this race is about what’s going to happen in the next four years of Aurora.

And I want to be a part of that. Ending the candidacy doesn’t mean I’m not going to be a part of that. It just means I’m going to be a part of that in a different way.”

Andrews is a former pro-football player for the Calgary Stampeders in the Canadian Football League who shifted his focus to social entrepreneurship and became the president and CEO of the Denver-based nonprofit CommunityWork after an unsuccessful bid for Colorado Springs City Council in 2009.

On his campaign website, he

identified public safety and building trust between Aurora residents and the police department as a top priority. Other priorities included promoting affordable housing as well as job preparation and placement services.

Andrews’ exit leaves Marcano as the Democratic frontrunner and main challenger to Coffman, a Republican military veteran who boasts a lengthy resume in Colorado politics. Coffman was elected mayor in 2019 after losing his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives to Jason Crow.

Coffman’s priorities as mayor have included reducing street homelessness, which led him to introduce a ban on camping and policy outline last year. In a news release, he said he also hopes to focus on public safety in his next term, reducing crime by adequately funding the city’s police department.

Marcano, a registered Democrat affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America, was raised in Texas and worked as an architectural designer before stepping back to focus on his elected role.

He said Andrews agreed to pull out of the race after the two talked one-on-one last week about the best way to defeat Coffman and ensure a Democratic majority on the council.

As a cautionary tale, Marcano described how Republican Marsha Berzins was elected to her Ward III council seat with about a third of the overall vote in 2017 after facing off against multiple Democrats.

“It’s just simple math at the end of the day,” Marcano said. “We have a lot of unmet needs throughout our

community. Rob and I have a lot of shared values, and we both want to address those needs. … Aurora should have a progressive majority on City Council so we can start making the necessary investments in our community around child care, and affordable housing, and wages, and bottom-up economic development that will actually deliver a city where everyone can thrive.”

Kirk Denem Manzanares, a Democrat registered to vote in Arapahoe County, has also filed campaign finance paperwork to run for mayor.

No other information about Manzanares’ campaign was available at press time, and he has not reported any fundraising activities.

Campaign finance records filed with the city indicate that, as of last week, Coffman had received $109,743 in campaign contributions, Marcano $64,607 and Andrews $27,663.

Aurora’s municipal election will take place Nov. 7.

25% of Arapahoe County homeowners protesting home valuations win reductions, officials say About one in four Arapahoe County residents who protested their current property tax valuations will get an adjustment, according to county assessor office officials.

County Assessor PK Kaiser announced Monday his office has completed reviewing a whopping 30,818 valuation appeals. Last year,

there were only 995 appeals for the entire year, and 4,589 in 2021.

The appeals were triggered by a vast hike in property values over the past two years across the county, and in most places across the state.

Property taxes are based on the assessed value of a home. Successful protesters are able to reduce that assessed value, and ultimately their annual property tax bill.

Kaiser said most of the protests were granted because of incorrect property information or more suitable comparable sales among nearby property owners.

Residential properties in the Denver metro area, including Arapahoe County, saw an average value increase of between 35%-45%, according to state and county officials.

Arapahoe County saw a 42% rise in single family home valuations and 20% in multi-family properties.

Property owners dissatisfied with their valuation outcome may appeal to the County Board of Equalization by Sept 15.

Additionally, those who missed the June 8 appeals deadline have a second opportunity to appeal after Jan. 1, 2024, through abatement procedures, officials said.

SCHOOLS AND EDUCATION

Cherry Creek, state school district leaders sue state over free preschool program rollout

Six Colorado school districts and two statewide education groups sued the state Thursday, claiming Colorado’s universal preschool program is harming children with disabilities and breaking financial promises to families and school districts.

The Colorado Association of School Executives, the Consortium of Directors of Special Education, and six districts filed the lawsuit against Gov. Jared Polis, the Colorado Department of Early Childhood, and the Colorado Department of Education in Denver district court on Thursday. The districts include Brighton-based 27J, Cherry Creek, Harrison, Mapleton, Platte Valley, and Westminster.

The groups allege that children will miss out on vital special education services, full-day preschool classes, or any preschool at all because the state’s online matching system is rife with problems. In several of the plaintiff districts, the first day of preschool was this week, but many children were missing from class rosters.

The Colorado Department of Early Childhood is running the new preschool program, but the Department of Education is in charge of ensuring that preschoolers with disabilities are served according to special education laws. Launching universal preschool has been one of Polis’ signature priorities since he hit the campaign trail in 2018.

The lawsuit marks the latest and probably most significant bump in the rocky rollout of the preschool program, which offers 10 to 30 ›› See METRO, 7

AUGUST 24, 2023| SENTINELCOLORADO.COM | 7

›› METRO, from 6

hours of tuition-free preschool a week to all 4-year-olds in Colorado and 10 hours to some 3-yearolds. Technology problems, poor communication, and last-minute changes have left many preschool providers and parents confused and frustrated in the run-up to the program’s launch this month.

The lawsuit touches on many of the same issues, with one of the school districts’ most pressing concerns being how the matching system functions —or doesn’t.

Mat Aubuchon, executive director of learning services for the Westminster district north of Denver, described a mother who showed up to preschool Thursday with a three- and a four-year-old —and the school had to turn away the threeyear-old because they couldn’t verify the child was correctly placed.

These problems could have been avoided, superintendents said at a press conference, if district administrators had been included years earlier in the preschool planning process.

“I’m saddened that we’re here today,” said Cherry Creek Superintendent Christopher Smith. “All we’re asking is to be part of the solution.”

Thursday’s lawsuit is the third one the state has faced over universal preschool. In June, a Christian preschool in Chaffee County sued the Department of Early Childhood, alleging that a non-discrimination agreement the state requires from universal preschool providers would prevent it from operating in accordance with its religious beliefs. Two Catholic parishes that operate preschools filed a similar lawsuit on Wednesday.

But the school districts’ lawsuit touches more directly on one of universal preschool’s stated purposes: to help children who need it most get a strong foundation for school.

A spokesperson for the Colorado Department of Early Childhood said the department would not comment on pending litigation.

In an emailed statement, Polis spokesman Conor Cahill lamented that the plaintiffs were distracting from the successes of universal preschool and pledged to defend the program “vigorously” in court.

“While it’s unfortunate to see different groups of adults attempting to co-opt preschool for themselves, perhaps because they want to not allow gay parents to send their kids to preschool, or they want to favor school district programs over community-based early childhood centers, the voters were clear on their support for parent choice and a universal, mixed delivery system that is independently run, that doesn’t discriminate against anyone and offers free preschool to every child no matter who their parents are,” Cahill said.

Jeremy Meyer, a spokesman for the Colorado Department of Education, said officials there are still reviewing the complaint.

“It is important to us to emphasize that CDE fundamentally values serving all students, and we are absolutely committed to ensuring

EST. EST.1989 1989 preschool students with disabilities receive all the services they are entitled to under federal law to prepare them for success in school,” he said in an email.

The state’s online preschool matching system — called Bridgecare — is at the center of the latest lawsuit. Starting last winter, preschools listed their offerings on the platform and families used it to apply for a spot. A computer algorithm then matched kids to seats.

But the system doesn’t always work. That’s led to long waits for parents on the state’s helpline, time-consuming manual fixes by regional groups tasked with helping run the new program, and preschool spots that go unfilled despite high local demand, according to the lawsuit.

In addition, district officials’ access to the platform is so limited they sometimes can’t properly place children with disabilities or even contact their families, according to the lawsuit. As a result, public schools can’t fulfill their legal obligation to such students and their parents, the plaintiffs said.

The lawsuit describes a last-minute effort in late July to give districts additional access to Bridgecare. In the Harrison district, it yielded days of fruitless back-and-forth between state and district staff about erroneous or missing sign-ups. Although district officials expected 124 students with disabilities to be matched with their classrooms, zero showed up on the list. State officials suggested the district “do some family outreach,” according to the lawsuit.

“We have failed students and we have failed their families,” Harrison Superintendent Wendy Birhanzel said during the press conference.

“They will continue to lose instruction until changes are made.”

Bret Miles, executive director of the Colorado Association of School Executives, said part of the reason for problems with Bridgecare is that the state didn’t spend the money needed to get a system with more capabilities.

“They bought a cheaper version of it,” he said.

Besides the matching system, the lawsuit alleges several instances in which state officials rolled back funding pledges, inappropriately diverted money for students with disabilities to the general education preschool fund, or are delaying payments.

The suit cites a promise by the state to pay for full-day preschool for students from low-income families, or who have one of four other risk factors. State officials announced in late July that only a fraction of those students — those from low-income families who also have a second risk factor — are eligible for tuition-free full-day classes.

The Westminster district north of Denver, where many students come from low-income families, will spend $2 million this year to ensure more than 170, 4-year-olds whose families expected full-day classes will get them at no cost, according to the lawsuit. The Harrison district, which also has many students from low-income families, estimated it

will have to spend several million dollars to cover full-day preschool for children the state now won’t cover.

The suit also claims the state reappropriated $38 million that was supposed to be used for preschoolers with disabilities into a pot of general education preschool dollars. In addition, it alleges the state plans to hold back some money until next June that districts need this year.

Scott Smith, Cherry Creek’s chief financial and operating officer, said when he and other district leaders raised concerns to state officials more than a year ago that there

wouldn’t be enough money to fully fund the new preschool program, “We were continually disregarded.”

“That funding isn’t there and wasn’t there,” he said.

About 39,000 Colorado 4-yearolds have been matched with a preschool through the universal program so far. Most families were able to choose from a variety of preschool settings, including schools, child care centers, or state-licensed homes, but parents of students with disabilities were not. Such students — about 12% of the total — will generally be served in public schools, which have a legal responsibility to provide services spelled out in each child’s federally mandated special education plan.

The new $322 million preschool program is funded with proceeds from a voter-approved nicotine tax and dollars from the state’s previous, smaller preschool program, which was only for students from low-income families or who had other risk factors.

Through last school year, Colorado preschoolers who had diagnosed disabilities were served through the state’s “early childhood special education” program.

School district teams placed the vast majority of those children in classrooms where at least half of students were typically developing kids.

This year, under the universal preschool program, integrating

students with disabilities and their typical peers is still the goal, but the state’s electronic platform has taken over the role district officials used to play. That’s led to some children being matched to settings that don’t make sense or classrooms that don’t have the right balance of children, requiring convoluted change requests that have often further frustrated parents.

What to know about the free half-day preschools in Aurora State officials celebrated the launch of the state’s free half-day preschool program while touring an Aurora preschool last wee afternoon.

Amid news of the lawsuit, state and local officials said the move toward providing more early childhood education was significant As the program stands, the Universal Preschool (UPK) Colorado program allows families with eligible 4-year-olds to apply for free halfday preschool. Families accepted into the program will receive at least 15 hours of free childcare.

Aurora Public Schools announced earlier this month they would provide additional resources for some families.

During a brief meeting with the press at Creative Learning Preschool, Gov. Jared Polis claimed that providing families with free pre-

school whe bill will save Colorado families $600.

“Colorado is a great place to live, but it costs a lot, especially for families,” he said.

According to the state website, families can apply for the program online. Every week on Fridays, families will be notified if they get matched to a preschool. They have until the following Thursday to accept or decline the match.

Lisa Roy, executive director of the Depart of Early Education, told reporters on Wednesday that some 3-year-olds may also qualify for this program, but that qualifications and eligibility vary for each school district.

The following schools in the City of Aurora will participate in the UPK Colorado program, according to the city: Beck Preschool Lowry Preschool Meadowood Preschool Summer Valley Preschool Village Green Preschool Under current, modified guidelines, families with eligible 3-yearold students will receive 10 hours of free childcare. According to the city website, 3-year-olds must meet at least one of the following qualifers to be eligible for the UPK program in their preschools: • Coming from a low-income family where the household income is less than 270% of the 2023 federal poverty guideline. For a household of three, that’s about $67,200 annually; for a household of four,

that’s about $81,000 annually.

• Having limited English proficiency, where the primary language spoken at home is not English or is a dual language learner • Having an Individualized Education Program (IEP) • Currently living in a foster care home or in non-kinship care • Currently homeless Aurora Public School has four child development centers (CDC) involved in the program: APS Early Beginnings Jamaica CDC Laredo CDC Meadowood CDC APS also has UPK programs in 54 elementary and preschool classrooms throughout the district, according to district spokesman Corey Christiansen.

Over 40 preschools and elementary schools in Cherry Creek School District will be participating in the program. Additional information and steps for applying for UPK in CCSD is available on their website.

CCSD schools participating in this program are: Altitude Elementary School Antelope Ridge Elementary School Arrowhead Elementary School Aspen Crossing Elementary School Black Forest Hills Elementary School Canyon Creek Elementary School Cherry Hills Village Elementary School

Cimarron Elementary School Cottonwood Creek Elementary School Coyote Hills Elementary School Creekside Elementary School Dakota Valley Elementary School Dry Creek Elementary School Eastridge Community Elementary School Fox Hollow Elementary School Heritage Elementary School High Plains Elementary School Highline Community Elementary School Holly Ridge Primary School Homestead Elementary School Independence Elementary School Indian Ridge Elementary School Meadow Point Elementary School Mission Viejo Elementary School Mountain Vista Elementary School Peakview Elementary School Pine Ridge Elementary School Polton Elementary School Ponderosa Elementary School Red Hawk Ridge Elementary School Rolling Hills Elementary School Sagebrush Elementary School Summit Elementary School Sunrise Elementary School Timberline Elementary School Trails West Elementary School Village East Elementary School Walnut Hills Community Elementary School Willow Creek Elementary School Woodland Elementary School

Both Aurora school districts show slow growth, as well as extremes in test results In Aurora, both school districts mirrored state results revealing that student standardized test scores are improving past pandemic results, but slowly.

The results also reveal recent past results indicating that most Cherry Creek School District students score somewhat above state averages, and most APS students score below state averages.

The results, however, revealed schools in both school districts where some students scored far above or far below statewide standards.

The test data showed that there were some improvements in student test scores, which includes the Colorado Measure of Academic Success test, and college entrance exams.

On average, about half of Cherry Creek students met or exceeded grade level expectations in English language arts while 39.9% of students met or exceeded grade level expectations in math. However, there are sizable differences among district schools, according to state data, compiled by Chalkbeat.

The data shows that overall, Cherry Creek School District tested above the state average of 44% of Colorado students meeting or exceeding grade level expectations in English language arts and 33% meeting or exceeding grade level expectations in math.

Cherry Creek’s Challenge School pulled ahead of the curve, with 88% of students meeting or exceeding grade level expectations in English and 85% of the students meeting or exceeding expectations in math.

Also in Cherry Creek, however, only 17% of Prairie Middle School students met or exceeded expectations in English and only 8% of students met or exceeded expectations in math.

Cherry Creek schools “continues to have a lower participation rate, which is a factor, among others, when interpreting results,”district spokesperson Lauren Snell said in a statement. “Additionally, test scores only provide a snapshot when evaluating student academic achievement.”

Aurora Public Schools scores revealed similar student test score disparities but more extreme, compared to state averages.

Overall, data shows that Aurora Public School students tested below state levels. About one-quarter of all APS students met or exceeded grade level expectations in English, while only 15% met or exceeded

grade level expectations in math, districtwide.

Aurora Quest K-8 school ranked the highest in the district, according to the data: 88% of students met or exceeded grade-level expectations in English while 86% met or exceeded expectations in math.

At Aurora West College Preparatory Academy, only 6% of students met or exceeded expectations in English and only 1% met or exceeded grade level expectations in math.

“We also need to recognize the profound impact the pandemic has had on our students, staff and families,” APS spokesperson Corey Christiansen said in a statement.

“We continue to face challenges in recovery, and we know there is still critical work ahead of us.”

Despite worrisome results in some schools, both districts have shown steady progress districtwide.

“We are encouraged by the progress we’ve made over the last few years, and we see some bright spots in the newly-released CMAS assessment results,” Christiansen said. “We are proud of the hard work of our students and staff coupled with our focus to improve curriculum, provide after-school tutoring and strengthen professional development for our teachers.”

Cherry Creek begins survey of student wellbeing Mental health took the limelight Monday during Cherry Creek Board of Education’s first meeting of the school year.

Michelle Weinraub, chief health officer, praised the district’s efforts to support students’ mental health during a presentation she delivered to the board Monday night at Liberty Middle School.

“Everything I’m going to talk about here tonight is because you care about our students. You care about them as full people knowing that if we can make them as whole as possible, with their families, they have the best chance to find their pathway, their passion,” Weinraub said.

When it came to mental health, Weinraub said that the district hired 38 new staff members. This includes clinicians for Traverse Academy, the district’s mental health treatment facility that is scheduled to open in the fall of 2023. The district also hired 18 additional staff members to work at Traverse Academy, middle and high schools, and school addiction counselors.

Weinraub also spoke about students’ social emotional health. The district partnered with Panorama Education, an education technology company, and ran a pilot screening program in eight schools within the district last school year. Students in the pilot program were asked to self-report about how they fell on topics such as: supportive relationships, self-management, social awareness, growth mindset, emotional regulation, self-efficacy and sense of belonging.

According to the data from Weinraub’s presentation, a higher

percentage of elementary school students self-reported a 4 or 5 — on a scale of 1 to 5 — on most criteria compared to middle and high school students. The latter had a higher percentage on the topic of self-management. All grade levels reported the same 47% percent level when it came to emotional regulation..

Weinraub said data and the survey is not clinical but “will guide [the district’s] mental health staff work.

It will guide [the] administrators and [the] educators.”

She added that 32 schools will be screened this year. Their goal is to screen the entire district by the 2024-25 school year.

When speaking about students’ physical health, she praised school nurses for logging more than 180,000 clinic visits last school year and being a resource for families.

“These nurses are needed. They keep our students in school. They keep them from having to go home for minor injuries or medical interventions that can take place at school,” she said.

Director Kelly Bates echoed those sentiments.

“I am very appreciative that we live in a district that supports and believes in making sure our kids are taken care of,” Bates said.

Director Angela Garland also claimed that when multiple doctors failed to help her daughter’s vision problems, it was the school nurse who helped her the most.

“Never underestimate the value of school nurses,” she said.

The board did not receive any public comment directly related to Weinraub’s presentation.

The board also approved all 15 consent agenda items, which included approval of the contracts to place school resource officers in multiple CCSD schools, without discussion.

COPS AND COURTS

Pilot accused of destroying parking barrier at Denver airport with an ax says he hit breaking point A United Airlines pilot has been charged with criminal mischief for allegedly using an ax to destroy a barrier gate at an employee parking lot at Denver’s airport. He told authorities he was trying to help several drivers exit and “he just hit his breaking point.”

Kenneth Henderson Jones, 63, is accused of repeatedly striking the metal parking arm with a long-handled ax Aug. 2, knocking it off of its base and then fleeing on foot when a lot attendant confronted him. The employee told investigators he was able to grab the weapon from Jones during a scuffle near a security fence. The pilot then ran into a nearby field, where he was taken into custody by Denver police.

According to a report by the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, Jones told a deputy that about six vehicles were behind each of the parking lot’s three exit gates, so he retrieved the ax from his parked car to help the drivers leave.

“Kenneth started by saying he just hit his breaking point,” the report stated.

Jones, who was released shortly after the scuffle, did not immediately respond to a phone message left

by The Associated Press on Friday evening. A statement issued by the airline Friday said Jones “was removed from the schedule and is on leave while United conducts an internal investigation.”

The manager of the lot said it would cost about $300 to fix the damaged parking arm, according to the sheriff’s office report.

2 men shot dead and ‘dumped’ in north Aurora alley Police say two Black men in their 20s were shot dead sometime late Aug. 17 or early Aug. 18, and their bodies left in a northwest Aurora alley.

Rescuers were called Saturday morning by someone who spotted an unresponsive man in the alley between Fulton and Galena streets, just north of East 22nd Avenue.

“When firefighters arrived at the scene, they observed obvious signs of trauma and determined the man was dead on arrival,” Aurora police spokesperson Joe Moylan said in a statement.

When police arrived, they discovered the body of a second man nearby the first body.

“That person also had obvious signs of trauma and was pronounced dead at the scene,” Moylan said.

Investigators determined both men had suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

“Evidence collected suggests the two men were shot to death overnight (away from where they were discovered) and their bodies dumped in the alley,” Moylan said.

“The victims have not yet been identified, and there are no suspects at this time.”

Police said initial evidence revealed the shooters and victims new each other.

“There is no threat to the public,” Moylan said.

Police said anyone with information can call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867. Tipsters can remain anonymous and still be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000, police said.

Attendees were treated to a bevy of food vendors representing their cultural cuisine, two Lucha Libre performances, live music, live dance performances and dozens of booths offering handmade wares and gifts. The 90-plus degree temperatures didn’t dissuade the masses as the attendance this year was higher than last.

B-movies make the A-list at Aurora reel life preserve

BY BARNABY ATWOOD, For the Sentinel

Theresa Mercado, a manager at The Archive, stands for a portrait between the racks of the shop, Aug. 7.

Portait by PHILIP B. POSTON/ Sentinel Colorado

T

here’s a place in Aurora where a young Paul Walker forever reels from having his brain implanted into a robotic dinosaur.

Or at least he struggles with faux-prehistoric tribulations in the 1994 B-movie classic “Tammy and the T-Rex” for as long as the physical tape the movie exists on holds out. Burned into video tape and DVDs, the T-Rex antics will be around for a while.

And that is much of what The Archive shop on East Colfax Avenue is about. It’s a place where the campy, vampy and surreal B-movie genres of the 1960s, ’70s, ’80s and beyond are curated and sold to appreciative fans.

Aficionados walk out with movies they can carry, not download.

This is a shrine for “physical” media.

“It’s more exciting to flip

through and kind of look, and you get the art, and you can read the synopsis and screenshots from the film,” said one of The Archive’s managers, David Britton. “This is so much more exciting than scrolling through a list. There’s no algorithm here.”

Zachary Pennala, a regular at The Archive, came in recently with his dog Karma and a box to store his haul.

“I really am a fan of plugging physical media, and there’s not that many physical media stores like this,” Pennala said. “Especially none of this quality in the area, so it’s really special.”

Most of the movies sold come on DVDs or Blu-rays, which have gone out of fashion in recent years due to streaming.

The Archive, 1421 Dayton St., a half-block off Colfax, is owned

by Vinegar Syndrome film redistribution company. It’s in the

same building as the Connecticut-based company’s western distribution center.

The retail shop officially opened its doors in October 2021 and has since continued to sell genre movies from Vinegar Syndrome’s catalog as well as other distributors.

Ryan Fletcher is a warehouse manager for Vinegar Syndrome.

The idea for The Archive was born after Vinegar Syndrome had already established the distribution center in Aurora.

“Essentially we set this place up for shipping purposes,” Fletcher said. “Then as we were setting this up, the idea was born to start a brick-and-mortar store, The Archive, because we own the whole building.”

Vinegar Syndrome focuses on the restoration and preservation of older films that may have otherwise been lost to time due to

many factors involving the history of film and video tape preservation.

This differentiates Vinegar Syndrome, and by extension The Archive, from other brickand-mortar video stores because of its focus on more obscure exploitation films, mostly from the 60s to the ’80s. The films came to theaters fast and furious, often “exploiting” current events and controversies. The genre leans into anything shocking, such as depictions of sex and violence and as such is much more adult oriented.

Vinegar Syndrome is also considered a boutique Blu-ray label, which means it distributes its own limited-edition releases of films, with added features like alternative covers or extra content related to the movie. ›› See B-MOVIES, 12

The name Vinegar Syndrome comes from the name for the process by which cellulose triacetate film stock starts to degrade over time. The film releases acetic acid, which degrades the images and creates a vinegar-like smell.

Many of the movies Vinegar Syndrome restores were filmed using cellulose triacetate film stock and are preserved digitally or on another medium.

“The stock before 1950 can explode. The stock after 1950 can rot,” said Howard Movshovitz, a Denver film critic and professor at the University of Colorado Denver.

On top of having to race against the clock before the film stock deteriorates, another issue with film preservation is the lack of care the stock was given after its showing. According to Movshovitz, it was more expensive to ship the heavy film stocks back to the distributors, so instead many of the films were just junked.

“Film distributors didn’t foresee ever showing it again,” Movshovitz said, “or that anybody would be interested in a way that would make them money, and so they just said to destroy it.”

While many of the films Vinegar Syndrome works with are more obscure exploitation films, fans of the genre and archivists argue they are still worth preserving. While their numbers vary, Fletcher said the distribution warehouses tend to ship out a couple thousand discs per week both in the U.S. and internationally.

“I’m not an archivist, but I think that most archivists — for instance, the Library of Congress — believe that a whole range of films are important to preserve,” Movshovitz said. “Home movies can be an extraordinary record of who we are and what the world looks like at a certain time.

And so when you start saying, ‘Well, this is valuable, and that isn’t valuable,’ you’re in pretty tricky territory because films are a great indication of who we are and what we are.”

As for why people are still interested in these films today, Britton says it ranges, but most consumers are motivated by curiosity and nostalgia.

“There’s a lot of movies that people have either never heard of, or maybe read about years ago in a movie magazine or heard reference to it or something,” Britton said. “And then they find it on the shelf here, and if it’s something that you’ve only ever heard of and never seen in the wild, it’s a really exciting thing to encounter.”

Britton also mentions younger people being nostalgic for these films in a different way.

“I feel like there are a lot of younger generations that when they’re growing up they didn’t have tapes or DVDs,” Britton

said. “It was ‘here’s your iPod or your phone,’ and then everything was streaming. I feel like people are having nostalgia for things that they never got to experience.”

Theresa Mercado, one of The Archive’s managers, also mentions a new generation getting into the world of older films.

“Some of our biggest VHS and Laserdisc collectors are younger people that found a VCR, (or) they found a laserdisc player maybe at a thrift store or something, and they are fascinated,” Mercado said. “Because this generation of stuff, they were born a little too late, so they’re just now getting into it.”

Among the films found in Vinegar Syndrome’s catalog are “Body Melt,” which was released in 1993, and “Rad,” released in 1986. “Body Melt” stars Gerard Kennedy and Andrew Daddo, and is an Australian horror film where a suburban cul-de-sac gets sent experimental health supplements that end up mutilating the residents’ bodies.

On the other end of the spectrum is “Rad,” starring Bill Allen and Lori Loughlin. “Rad” is about a teenager having to decide between racing in the town’s biggest BMX race for a $100,000 prize or taking the SAT to get into college.

Many of the films sold at The Archive would never get a chance to be re-released today because many streaming services don’t see a profit in it or don’t want to track down and restore the movies from their degraded film stock.

“Some come to streaming, and then they have certain rights issues, and then they leave forever,” Pennala said. “Then you go to watch a movie (and) you’re like, ‘Well, I could buy another streaming service to watch this movie,’ or maybe it’s not on any.”

A retail store like The Archive can also be where customers stumble on their new favorite film.

“You find these hidden gems that you didn’t know about before,” Pennala said. “You can always look up top 100 movies of the ’80s and then start knocking off things on the list, but nothing from this company is really going to be on that list. The amount of enjoyment that you get out of watching something like this can be as much or more than these A-list movies.”

The Archive staff feel like they’re a good fit in the Aurora- Colfax community.

“We celebrate all cinema here and are excited to meet the community,” Mercado said. “So come on in and visit us, and we’re happy to be here in Aurora.”

The Archive is open Wednesdays through Saturdays 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and can be contacted at 720-844-8503. More information on the Archive can be found at linktr.ee/archiveaurora.

Along with the prints reproduced by Vinegar Syndrome, The Archive also sells used copies of films on multiple platforms.

ON THE GO: How parents can make the most of back-to-school energy

O

livia Dreizen Howell has spent the summer running her online business,

BY MELISSA RAYWORTH, Associated Press Fresh Starts Registry, from her Long Island home while caring for her two sons. At ages 9 and 7, they are full of energy.

“So many times,” Howell says, “I’ll be on a radio interview that’s live and my kids are banging on the door asking for string cheese.”

Howell isn’t wishing her final weeks of summer away, but she’s eagerly anticipating the moment when classes begin and her kids are occupied all day on a predictable schedule.

Summer can be difficult for the growing community of parents who now work partly or fully from home. And experts say that just like kids, adults can benefit from the energy and new possibilities that the start of the school year brings.

Especially if they do some planning.

This image provided by Wyatt Desiree Martinez, a marketing consultant Howell shows Olivia Dreizen for small businesses and a mother of two young Howell on July 26, 2023, working remotely from her aunt’s kids in Ann Arbor, Michigan, says parents should backyard in Huntington, New aim to harness the fall’s momentum, and not let York while her kids play near- any time that’s opened up get away from them.

The back-to-school season can fill up quickly, by. Remote-working parents like Howell are busy preparing especially for working parents who shuttle kids for their children’s return to to practices and events, says Martinez, who has school, when they can focus been helping clients prepare for the first day of on work rather than juggling school.

“What happens to us mentally is that it’s work and childcare.

WYATT HOWELL, AP Labor Day, then back to school, and Halloween, Thanksgiving, and suddenly it’s Christmas break,” she says. “You kind of don’t get a chance

to breathe. And so if you don’t have the right plan in place, it can be to your detriment.”

So what might that plan look like? How can parents use the final weeks of summer wisely?

GET CLEAR ON PRIORITIES – INCLUDING YOUR OWN Rachel Brenke, who runs her own law practice and coaches other entrepreneurs on keeping a healthy work-life balance, suggests sitting down now to make a list that includes all family members. What are each person’s commitments and top priorities for the fall?

Then draw up a schedule that “fits everything together like puzzle pieces.”

For mothers: “I’d encourage you to start with yourself first,” Brenke says, because it’s easy to fall prey to the cultural pressure to put yourself last.

“Guilt and a feeling of obligation and overwhelm starts to creep in,” she says, and your own projects, work and personal goals can get postponed year after year.

Aileen Weintraub sees this happen often with the writers she mentors through her business, Witches of Pitches. Many of them are working mothers.

Weintraub can relate: When her teenage son is home for the summer, she says, “I want to spend as much time with my son as possible. But I also really want to keep the momentum going on my career and all the things that we’ve built... So it’s been quite a balance.”

START MAKING THE SHIFT Howell, of Long Island, has this advice for parents: Give yourself patience about the things you couldn’t get done with kids around the house.

But get a head start scheduling the meetings or tasks that require quiet and concentration during the first days of the school year.

Lakesha Cole runs a public relations firm from her home in Florida and is the primary parent taking care of her three children, including one with special needs. To accomplish her own goals this fall, she has already begun shifting the family into their back-to-school routine.

“Systems make my world run smoothly, and so I set these systems up in our household for getting up in the morning and getting what you need done in the time frame that you need to do it,” she says. “It starts a month before they go back to school.”

Closets are being cleaned out and Cole has set up several “stations,” including a breakfast station, where each child chooses and prepares their own morning meal.

“My goal is, I don’t need you to ask me 50 questions in the morning. You know how to brush your teeth. You know how to get dressed. You know how to do all these things and I’m empowering you to be independent and to make these decisions without me,” she says.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE Pandemic leaves truancy in its wake

hen in-person school resumed after pandemic closures, Rousmery Negrón and her 11-year-old son both noticed a change: School seemed less welcoming.

Parents were no longer allowed in the building without appointments, she said, and punishments were more severe. Everyone seemed less tolerant, more angry. Negrón’s son told her he overheard a teacher mocking his learning disabilities, calling him an ugly name.

Negrón didn’t want to go to his Massachusetts school anymore. And she didn’t feel he was safe there.

He would end up missing more than five months of sixth grade.

Across the country, and across Aurora, students have been absent at record rates since schools reopened during the pandemic. More than a quarter of students missed at least 10% of the 2021-22 school year, making them chronically absent, according to the most recent data available. Before the pandemic, only 15% of students missed that much school.

All told, an estimated 6.5 million additional students became chronically absent, according to the data, which was compiled

by Stanford University education professor Thomas Dee in partnership with The Asso-

ciated Press. Taken together, the data from 40 states and Washington, D.C., provides the most comprehensive accounting of absenteeism nationwide. Absences were more prevalent among Latino, Black and low-income students, according to Dee’s analysis.

Aurora schools have followed national trends where they saw a higher rate of chronic absenteeism during the pandemic.

However, recovery efforts show early signs of improvement.

Colorado students are considered chronically absent if they are not physically present or are not participating in class for at least 10% of the days in the school year.

According to the state, this includes students with excused absences for illnesses, suspension or family matters.

The Cherry Creek School District also saw a large increase in chronic absenteeism during the pandemic. During the 2020-21 school year, 18% of Cherry Creek students were chronically absent. It nearly doubled the following year, going up 31%. However, data provided by district spokesperson Lauren Snell show that less than 1% of students were chronically absent last year.

“While the district saw a dip in the attendance rate during the pandemic, our attendance rate is returning to what it was previously,” Snell said in an email.

Some of the steps that Cherry Creek us-

es to ensure students’ attendance include: meeting with families, sending sanction letters and taking students to truancy court as a last resort. Court records show that the district has several hearings in truancy court scheduled for Sept. 14.

Some of the obstacles that some Aurora students and their families face, according to Wondame Davis, director of behavior system support at Aurora Public Schools, include transportation and juggling a job outside of school.

“I think our families want the best for their kids. I think that there are natural barriers that they face every day, that we face every day as a community,” Davis said. “I know that collectively, our parents in our school district want the best for their kids.”

State data shows that APS schools have seen an increase in chronic absenteeism rates in two years. During the 2020-21 school year, APS reported 34% of their students being chronically absent. During the 2021-22, which is the most recent data available for the district, the rate was 44%.

The district could not provide data on last year’s chronic absenteeism rate, saying that it has not been finalized. However, Corey Christiansen, spokesperson for APS, said that the Colorado Department of Education will publicize the information on Sept. 15. ›› Continues on 16

“We’re definitely trying to return back to where we may have been prior to the pandemic happening,” Davis said.

The pandemic created seismic problems, and while school is back full time, not all students are.

Student absences come on top of time students missed during school closures and pandemic disruptions. They cost crucial classroom time as schools work to recover from massive learning setbacks.

Absent students miss out not only on instruction but also on all the other things schools provide — meals, counseling, socialization. In the end, students who are chronically absent — missing 18 or more days a year, in most places — are at higher risk of not learning to read and eventually dropping out.

“The long-term consequences of disengaging from school are devastating. And the pandemic has absolutely made things worse and for more students,” said Hedy Chang, executive director of Attendance Works, a nonprofit addressing chronic absenteeism.

In seven states, the rate of chronically absent kids doubled for the 2021-22 school year, from 2018-19, before the pandemic. Absences worsened in every state with available data — notably, the analysis found growth in chronic absenteeism did not correlate strongly with state COVID rates.

Kids across the country are staying home for myriad reasons — finances, housing instability, illness, transportation issues, school staffing shortages, anxiety, depression, bullying and generally feeling unwelcome at school.

And the effects of online learning linger: School relationships have frayed, and after months at home, many parents and students don’t see the point of regular attendance.

“For almost two years, we told families that school can look different and that schoolwork could be accomplished in times outside of the traditional 8-to-3 day. Families got used to that,” said Elmer Roldan, of Communities in Schools of Los Angeles, which helps schools follow up with absent students.

When classrooms closed in March 2020, Negrón in some ways felt relieved her two sons were home in Springfield. Since the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, Negrón, who grew up in Puerto Rico, had become convinced mainland American schools were dangerous.

A year after in-person instruction resumed, she said, staff placed her son in a class for students with disabilities, citing hyperactive and distracted behavior. He felt unwelcome and unsafe. Now, it seemed to

Negrón, there was danger inside school, too.

“He needs to learn,” said Negrón, a single mom who works as a cook at another school.

“He’s very intelligent. But I’m not going to waste my time, my money on uniforms, for him to go to a school where he’s just going to fail.”

For people who’ve long studied chronic absenteeism, the post-COVID era feels different.

Some of the things that prevent students from getting to school are consistent — illness, economic distress — but “something has changed,” said Todd Langager, who helps San Diego County schools address absenteeism. He sees students who already felt unseen, or without a caring adult at school, feel further disconnected.

Alaska led in absenteeism, with 48.6% of students missing significant amounts of school.

Alaska Native students’ rate was higher, 56.5%.

Those students face poverty and a lack of mental health services, as well as a school calendar that isn’t aligned to traditional hunting and fishing activities, said Heather Powell, a teacher and Alaska Native. Many students are raised by grandparents who remember the government forcing Native children

into boarding schools.

“Our families aren’t valuing education because it isn’t something that’s ever valued us,” Powell said.

In New York, Marisa Kosek said son James lost the relationships fostered at his school — and with them, his desire to attend class altogether. James, 12, has autism and struggled first with online learning and then with a hybrid model. During absences, he’d see his teachers in the neighborhood. They encouraged him to return, and he did.

But when he moved to middle school in another neighborhood, he didn’t know anyone.

He lost interest and missed more than 100 days of sixth grade. The next year, his mom pushed for him to repeat the grade — and he missed all but five days.

His mother, a high school teacher, enlisted help: relatives, therapists, New York’s crisis unit. But James just wanted to stay home. He’s anxious because he knows he’s behind, and he’s lost his stamina.

“Being around people all day in school and trying to act ‘normal’ is tiring,” said Kosek. She’s more hopeful now that James has been accepted to a private residential school that specializes in students with autism.

Some students had chronic absences because of medical and staffing issues. Juan Ballina, 17, has epilepsy; a trained staff member must be nearby to administer medication in case of a seizure. But post-COVID-19, many school nurses retired or sought better pay in hospitals, exacerbating a nationwide shortage.

Last year, Juan’s nurse was on medical leave. His school couldn’t find a substitute. He missed more than 90 days at his Chula Vista, California, high school.

“I was lonely,” Ballina said. “I missed my friends.”

Last month, school started again. So far, Juan’s been there, with his nurse. But his mom, Carmen Ballina, said the effects of his absence persist: “He used to read a lot more. I don’t think he’s motivated anymore.”

Another lasting effect from the pandemic: Educators and experts say some parents and students have been conditioned to stay home at the slightest sign of sickness.

Renee Slater’s daughter rare-

ly missed school before the pandemic. But last school year, the straight-A middle schooler insisted on staying home 20 days, saying she just didn’t feel well.

“As they get older, you can’t physically pick them up into the car — you can only take away privileges, and that doesn’t always work,” said Slater, who teaches in the rural California district her daughter attends.

“She doesn’t dislike school, it’s just a change in mindset.”

Most states have yet to release attendance data from 2022-23, the most recent school year. Based on the few that have shared figures, it seems the chronic-absence trend may have long legs. In Connecticut and Massachusetts, chronic absenteeism remained double its pre-pandemic rate.

In Negrón’s hometown of Springfield, 39% of students were chronically absent last school year, an improvement from 50% the year before. Rates are higher for students with disabilities.

While Negrón’s son was out of school, she said, she tried to

stay on top of his learning. She picked up a weekly folder of worksheets and homework; he couldn’t finish because he didn’t know the material.

“He was struggling so much, and the situation was putting him in a down mood,” Negrón said.

Last year, she filed a complaint asking officials to give her son compensatory services and pay for him to attend a private special education school. The judge sided with the district.

Now, she’s eyeing the new year with dread. Her son doesn’t want to return. Negrón said she’ll consider it only if the district grants her request for him to study in a mainstream classroom with a personal aide. The district told AP it can’t comment on individual student cases due to privacy considerations.

Negrón wishes she could homeschool her sons, but she has to work and fears they’d suffer from isolation.

“If I had another option, I wouldn’t send them to school,” she said.

Rousmery Negrón stands with her son at home in Springfield, Mass., on Aug. 3, 2023. When in-person school resumed after pandemic closures, Negrón and her son both noticed a change: School seemed less welcoming.

Parents were no longer allowed in the building without an appointment, Negrón said. Punishments were more severe. Everyone seemed less tolerant, more angry. Negrón’s son even overheard a teacher mocking his learning disabilities, calling him an ugly name. He would end up missing more than five months of sixth grade.

Colorado student test results show slow academic recovery, red flags — Aurora results, too State test scores released Thursday show signs that Colorado students are recovering from pandemic learning disruption, as 2023 scores approached 2019 levels in some grades and subjects.

But worrying signs remain that many students are still struggling.

The share of fourth and eighth graders who could read and write at or above grade level on CMAS tests taken this past spring remains more than 4 percentage points behind the share who could in 2019. Seventh and eighth graders are similarly behind in math. Each percentage point represents thousands of students who are not meeting expectations and who are less prepared for the next grade.

At the same time, fifth and sixth graders are posting similar scores in reading and writing to their peers four years ago, and in math, all elementary students are. At nearly every grade level, more students met or exceeded expectations in both language arts and math in 2023 than did in 2022, with fifth and seventh graders improving several percentage points in reading.

State education officials attribute the progress to a more normal school year, with fewer disruptions due to illness and safety protocols, as well as to school districts’ investments in new curriculum and tutoring to help students catch up.

At the same time, staff shortages meant educators had less time to help struggling students, and many schools reported increases in students missing class.

The uneven recovery may be due to differences in where students were developmentally when COVID hit and school moved online — and how critical the material they missed during disrupted schooling was to the next grade level. Students who were in eighth grade in spring 2023 were in fifth grade when schools shut down in March 2020.

“There are some key learnings that typically occur in some grade levels that have impact down the road,” Joyce Zurkowski, chief assessment officer for the Colorado Department of Education, said on a call with reporters this week.

She said education officials consider “what typically is covered (in) fifth grade, second semester — and how that could be impacting our students in seventh and eighth grade.”

All Colorado students in grades three through eight take reading, writing, and math tests every spring. The tests are known as the Colorado Measures of Academic Success, or CMAS. Some students also take tests in science and social studies. High schoolers take the PSAT and SAT. Test scores for English learners and students who took the reading

and writing tests in Spanish raise major concerns about how well these children are faring in school.

Just 18.7% of third graders who took the test in Spanish met or exceeded expectations, down 8.8 percentage points from 2019 — by far the biggest lag in student recovery. And just 14.2% of fourth graders who took the Spanish test met or exceeded expectations, down almost 5 percentage points from 2019.

State education officials said the trend calls for more attention to these students. Some of that will have to come from state lawmakers, who have set aside money and crafted new rules to support reading and math instruction, but not bilingual learners.

Floyd Cobb, the associate commissioner of student learning, made that clear this week. Asked what the state education department will do to close the gap between bilingual learners and English-speaking students, he said, “that’ll need to be answered by the General Assembly.”

“Our job here at the department is to make sure that we go about implementing the laws that the General Assembly passes, and in the event that someone writes a bill, and that bill makes it through, we’ll engage in our work to be able to support,” Cobb said.

Colorado’s Latino communities suffered a heavy toll during the pandemic, experiencing more illness and death, more job losses, and more economic instability than white Coloradans. Hispanic families are also less likely to have reliable internet access, and have been affected by rising rents and home prices that have pushed many of them out of their neighborhoods.

Colorado education officials are also watching with concern the test scores of middle school girls. Girls typically do better than boys in language arts, while boys do better in math. That hasn’t changed, but in some cases, gender gaps have narrowed because girls are doing worse. The number of eighth grade girls meeting or exceeding expectations in language arts is down 7.7 percentage points since 2019, and down more than 3 points just since last year.

“When we look at the national level, there’s been significant research that suggests young women have struggled more during the pandemic with depression and anxiety,” Colorado Commissioner of Education Susana Córdova said.

“It’s hard to say if that’s the reason why we’re seeing lower performance with young women than we are with young men,” Córdova said.

“But I think it’s going to be important for us to continue to monitor and look at and to focus supports on young women.”

Colorado continues to have major gaps in proficiency rates based on student race and economic status. The share of white and Asian students scoring at grade level is 24 to 30 points higher than for Black and Hispanic students. The gaps between students living in poverty — as measured by eligibility for freeor reduced-price lunch — and their

more affluent peers is more than 30 points in most grades and subjects.

These are longstanding problems, but Colorado education officials said they demand urgent attention.

Critics of standardized tests say they are a better measure of the effects of poverty than of academic performance, but state education officials point out that they are the only statewide measure of how well students meet the state’s academic standards.

The state uses the test results to rate schools and districts, and to direct help to schools with lower scores and issue state improvement orders.

Parents can use their children’s individual test results to discuss strengths and weaknesses with teachers, and they can use state data to see how their school and district perform compared with others.

Schools and teachers can use the test scores to determine the subjects where students are furthest behind and find ways to help them improve.

In addition to the raw test scores, Colorado also calculates growth scores. Those scores measure how much progress students made compared with students who scored similarly to them the year before and are generally considered a better measure of the work educators do than raw test scores.

Because of the way the growth scores are calculated, the state average is always around 50 on a 100-point scale. Students who are behind need growth scores above 50 to catch up.

In the aftermath of the pandemic, Colorado students would need growth scores of 55 or higher to catch up to 2019 achievement levels, said Lisa Medler, the executive director of accountability and continuous improvement for the Colorado Department of Education.

Among districts with more than 1,000 students that serve a large portion of students of color, only Denver edged above 50 in growth in both language arts and math, and many districts had below-average growth scores.

Statewide, district growth scores for grades three through eight ranged from a high of 79 in math in Hinsdale County RE-1, a small district in southwest Colorado, to a low of 23, also in math, in Agate School District #300, a tiny district in the east.

In Denver Public Schools, Colorado’s largest school district with nearly 88,000 students, test scores for most grades and subjects rebounded, but not quite to pre-pandemic levels.

There were a few exceptions.

Third graders scored higher this past spring than four years ago: 40% met or exceeded expectations in 2023, compared with 39% in 2019.

The troubling trend of English learners falling further behind showed up in Denver’s test scores, too. Most English learners in Denver speak Spanish, and more than 1,600 Denver students took the state literacy test in Spanish. But

only 21% met or exceeded expectations on the Spanish literacy test, down from 29% in 2019.

While English-speaking students are catching up from pandemic learning loss, students who are still learning the English language are not, the test data shows. The test score gap between English learners and English speakers is growing.

Denver has other gaps, too. Last year, Denver’s test score gaps between white and Black students, and between white and Hispanic students, were the biggest in Colorado. The gaps did not shrink this year. In fact, the gap grew in math between white and Hispanic students.

Denver Superintendent Alex Marrero has said he wants to see the number of students scoring at grade level go up by 10 percentage points in reading and math by 2026 — a goal he included in the district’s strategic plan. The plan says test scores should improve even more for “some student groups,” an acknowledgement that Denver has big gaps to close.

This year’s test scores show only slight progress toward that goal.

Proficiency rates in grades three through seven rose between 0.2 and 2.4 percentage points, depending on the grade. Eighth graders declined slightly in language arts.

On both the PSAT and SAT, fewer Denver students scored at or above a benchmark meant to indicate college readiness this past spring in literacy and math than did in 2019.

The Adams 14 school district, which received state orders to reorganize after years of chronic low student performance, continued to see low scores.

At the high school level, students in every grade level tested had lower average combined scores than in 2019. The trend is similar statewide, but Adams 14’s scores are lower than the state’s average.

In grades three through eight, Adams 14 saw significantly lower scores districtwide compared with 2019, nearly across the board.

The biggest decrease was among fifth graders taking English language arts tests, only 12.7% of whom met or exceeded expectations. The only districtwide improvement was very small: just a 0.1 percentage point increase among sixth graders in math. Only 4.3% of those students met or exceeded expectations.

Looking at growth among Adams 14 students, the district and most of its schools had growth scores of less than 50. The two highest growth scores were for math at Dupont, with a 57.5, and language arts at Rose Hill Elementary which had a growth score of 58.

The test where Adams 14 had its highest percentage of students meeting expectations was on the language arts tests given in Spanish. Among third graders taking that test, for instance, 19.2% of students met or exceeded expectations, compared with 17.6% of third graders taking that test in English.

Adams 14 has one of the state’s highest proportions of students

learning English as a second language, and historically has had trouble educating those students and complying with their civil rights. In more recent years, the district has implemented bilingual programming and created a plan that finally got federal approval for how to educate English learners.

Elementary students are still not yet up to pre-pandemic reading proficiency levels, despite big changes in how Colorado schools teach reading.

Statewide, 39.9% of the spring’s third graders met or exceeded expectations on reading tests. That percentage is lower than last year, and down from 41.3% in 2019.

Sheridan, Douglas County, Jeffco, and St. Vrain districts in the metro area showed significant improvements in third grade reading.

In Sheridan, the district went from having just over 10% of students meet expectations for reading in 2019 to 26.8% this spring. In the Douglas County school district, 58% of third graders met expectations in reading, up from 52% in 2019. The score put the Dougco district above most metro area districts.

The Jeffco school district also had increases, with 48.2% of third graders meeting reading standards, up from 46.3% in 2019.

Mapleton and Pueblo 60 districts have not been able to bring the percentage of students meeting expectations back up to 2019 levels.

In Mapleton, 17.8% of third grade students met or exceeded reading expectations this spring, down from 28.1% in 2019. In Pueblo 60, 22.9% of third grade students met or exceeded reading expectations, down from 27.6% in 2019.

Among 10 districts that serve the highest percentages of students of color and have more than 1,000 students, all saw a decrease in the percentage of students meeting expectations in math. Westminster and East Otero in southeast Colorado had the smallest decreases in overall math scores. Among Westminster students 15.5% met or exceeded expectations in math this year, down from 16.4% of students in 2019.

6 tips for cutting costs on back-to-school shopping BACK TO SCHOOL

BY CRAIG JOSEPH, Associated Press

When Meghan Lakata’s kids return to school from summer break, they’ll have new (to them) clothes and supplies. But thanks to some creative shopping habits, the mother of two isn’t stressed over back-to-school spending.

Lakata, a pre-K teacher in Maryland, uses tools like state sales tax holidays, cash-back apps and buy-nothing groups to keep back-to-school costs down. Bulk purchases help, too.

“I have the two kids and there’s a lot of overlap in what they need,” Lakata says. “So if I can get like a big 48-count of pencils, I’m going to do that.”

If back-to-school spending forecasts for 2023 are correct, every little bit of savings might help. According to the National Retail Federation, families with children in kindergarten through 12th grade will spend a record $41.5 billion on back-to-school shopping this year. An additional $94 billion will be spent on backto-college shopping. Those figures make the back-to-school season the second-largest spending period of the year, after holiday shopping.

Here’s how to keep more money in your pocket this season.

1. SALES TAX HOLIDAYS Search your state tax administrator’s website to see whether your state is one of several with a tax-free holiday. If so, in-person and online shopping for items like clothing, books, school supplies and electronics during the designated time frame could provide a 4%-7% pad to your budget.

“I’m planning on getting the kids a couple of new items they want and school supplies that week,” Lakata said, adding that she’ll save 6% without sales tax.

These holidays generally run in July or August. Lakata says this is

made “no-fuss bedtime chart.”

It’s a simple system: “If they are in bed by 8 and they read until 8:30, I will give them each a quarter,” Olson says. “I’m kind of reinforcing that this is just how our family shows up – whether it’s summertime or school time – so that when school time does come, it’s going to be easy.”

SET BOUNDARIES, GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK Martinez doesn’t have charts but she does try to set clear boundaries around her work hours.

She begins work early in the morning, before her kids wake up.

But once they’re up, her kids know

the time to buy supplies, not only for the tax exemption, but because items are cheaper.

“That box of crayons that’s 50 cents in August is going to be like $2.50 in December,” she says.

“They drop the prices so much for back-to-school, but we feel like we can’t get the same deals if we restock midyear. You’re going to pay a lot more.”

2. STUDENT DISCOUNTS ON ELECTRONICS Electronics top the planned back-to-school expenditure list in 2023, with an estimated $38 billion to be spent for K-12 and college students, according to the NRF survey.

College students can qualify for “education pricing” from companies like Apple, Microsoft, Samsung and Dell. This could lead to savings of 10%-20% or more on that new laptop, tablet, phone or monitor.

Plan to purchase directly through the manufacturer to get the discount; purchases at big box stores like Best Buy or Walmart generally won’t count.

3. BUY-NOTHING GROUPS An estimated $25 billion will be spent on back-to-school and back-to-college clothing this season, the NRF says. But that could be an expense to offset with your local buy-nothing group.

Buy-nothing groups offer a way for individuals to rehome and gift goods to one another, with no buying, selling or bartering. You can find your community on the Buy Nothing Project website.

“I try to get as much as I can on the buy-nothing Facebook page,” Lakata says. “I got an entire wardrobe of clothes for my kids. I don’t buy new clothes often for them, just because you can get them for free.”

“this time is when I’m working and if my door is closed, you can’t come in, but I will make sure that after this time, I’m done. Then we’re going to do something together,” she says.

Cole agrees these kinds of boundaries help. And so does a break for parents after a summer of childcare and multitasking.

Every year she gives herself one full day of celebration before she dives in on her career and personal goals when school begins.

“The first day of school is the official Hooky Mom Day,” she says. “I play hooky from all things grown-up. I normally go to ResortPass and buy a pass at a fancy hotel and I go lie on their private beach. I am there from dropoff to pickup. And that is how I kick off the school year … whoever wants to come and join me, they can join me. I’ll be at the Don CeSar Hotel in St. Pete!”

Shoppers look for school supplies deals at a Target store, July 27, 2022, in South Miami, Fla. An estimated $135 billion will be spent on back-to-school and back-to-college shopping in 2023, according to the National Retail Federation, representing the second-largest spending period of the year, behind only the holidays. But there are ways to help bring down some of those costs. AP PHOTO/MARTA LAVANDIER,

4. CREDIT CARD BONUSES Many new credit cards come with a sign-up offer that can earn you hundreds of dollars worth of cash-back or travel rewards.

Since you’ll have to spend a certain amount of money in a specific window to earn those rewards, periods of high spending can be the perfect time to get a new card and offset some of your costs.

But aim to pay your statement in full each month. If you carry a balance, the interest can negate any rewards.

5. BUY IN BULK Whether it’s lunch food or school supplies, buying in bulk can lead to big savings — but have

a plan. Overpurchasing can erode the savings you made elsewhere.

Lakata says she looks at the school supply list and identifies things both her kids, in 4th and 5th grades, will use; then she buys those items in bulk at a discount.

“Composition notebooks can often be cheaper in a multipack, and last year both kids needed them,” she said. “Or plastic folders. I can get a six-pack of those instead of buying them individually and save money.”

6. CASH-BACK APPS AND WEBSITES Whether you shop in store or online, a few extra steps – or clicks – can get you a percentage back on your purchases.

Apps like Receipt Hog and Ibotta provide cash back for instore purchases if you scan your receipt. Once the purchase is verified, cash back or rewards redeemable for gift cards will be deposited into your account.

“After any shopping trip, I take a quick picture of my receipt using cash-back apps,” Lakata said.

“Those little points add up.”

If you prefer shopping online, visit a cash-back portal like Top Cashback or Rakuten before you pay. Such portals offer percentages back at a multitude of websites, as long as you click through from the portal first. Your bank or credit card may also offer bonus rewards for shopping through their websites.

ast season’s Aurora City Championship cross country meet included only two teams — Grandview and Cherokee Trail — and it was virtually the same at this season’s meet, though the rest of the city was present.

Sophomore Dylan Smith added a sixth-place finish for coach Chris Faust’s Cherokee Trail team, which is reloading after the graduation of several key components. Still, it wasn’t enough for the Cougars to overcome Grandview, which had finishers 2-5 and put six in the top eight.

He won last season’s race to join Hunter Strand (2021) and Rylan Wallace (2016) as the Cougars’ all-time individual winners and claimed his second title with a three-second victory over Grandview sophomore Colton White.

Larsen turned in a time of 16 minutes, 50.10 seconds — to White’s 16:53.30 — for his second victory, which was the first repeat atop the Aurora city championship boys race since Smoky Hill’s Blake Yount in 2013 and 2014. Should he compete and win it again next year, Larsen would

Valencia and Josh Tobin finished in seventh and eighth, respectively. It gave Grandview (which won its fifth city crown) a sparkling total of 21 points, while Cherokee Trail came in second with 37.

Eaglecrest — paced by the 15th-place finish of junior Kaleb Packer — grabbed third place among eight teams with team scores with 110 points.

All-City first team honors on the boys side (which go to the top seven finishers) went to

by Larsen, White, Zitek, Blevins, Colson, Smith and Valencia.

Among city programs, Gateway, Hinkley and Regis Jesuit didn’t compete in the boys race or in the girls race, which saw only four teams with enough entrants to register a team score.

The Grandview girls (who won their sixth all-time city championship) had a bit more of a cushion over Cherokee Trail in the team race as the Wolves garnered 18 points to the Cougars’ 43 with Eaglecrest (82) and Rangeview (116) in third and fourth place.

Pace — who was sixth at last season’s city meet — became the Wolves’ first girls city champion since Anna Swanson in 2019 and the program’s sixth individual all-time winner, joining Swanson, two-time winner Kaitlyn Mercer (2017 and 2018), Brie Oakley (2016), Erin Norton (a current Grandview assistant coach who won in 2013) and Jamie Anderson (2008).

Pace crossed the finish line in 22:31, which was slower than her time of 21:56.80 last season, but that race was run on the Grandview campus. She had a 10-second cushion over junior Ashlyn Mojica (22:41) with senior Summer Abeyta third in 22:49.

Those three earn All-City first team accolades, along with teammates Lillian Carll (a junior who placed fifth and senior Emerson Rohrig (seventh), while the group was rounded out by freshman Jade McDaniel and senior Alessandra Pezzimenti, who were fourth and sixth, respectively.

Senior Ellie Shaw led Eaglecrest with an 11th-place finish in a time of 24:31.20, while Rangeview’s top result came from junior Hazel Bonansinga, who was 27th. The top 15 finishers also included one competitor from Smoky Hill, as senior Ana Howell placed 15th.

O

nce the Smoky Hill field hockey program rediscovered what it feels like to win, it has been nothing but up in the past season-plus.

The Buffaloes toted a 75-game winless streak into last season, but brought that to a crashing halt, picked up a total of three victories and earned a spot in a play-in game to make the state playoffs in a transformation first season under head coach Lisa Griffiths.

The momentum has continued in the early stages of the 2023 campaign, as Smoky Hill stands 2-0 after wins over FIELD HOCKEY Dakota Ridge and Grandview.

team, which made us want to work harder and be there for each other. Coach came in last season and really put belief in us that we didn’t have before.”

Smoky Hill has a key stretch coming up with games against Kent Denver (Aug. 23), Regis Jesuit (Aug. 25) and Arapahoe (Aug. 29), which should be illuminating as the Buffaloes lost to the three teams by a combined score of 19-1 last season.

“I really want to see us work on our structure and play the way we are capable of playing and not playing somebody else’s game,” Griffiths said.

Spencer Wagner is seeing the fruits of building the Regis Jesuit program from scratch many years ago pay off, as it has become something of a well-oiled machine.

After years of knocking on the door, the Raiders have made it into the state championship game in five straight seasons and won titles in 2018, 2020 and 2021. They come into this season ranked No. 2 in the preseason poll and projected for a potential rematch with Colorado Academy in the final.

Wagner graduated some veteran talent from last season’s team — including goalie MaryKate Berg, who started in three consecutive state finals, plus double-digit point scorers Carly Kennedy and Emily Bradac — but he has an incredibly deep group that appears virtually interchangable.

Senior Sydney Cornell tied for the team lead with 13 goals last season, while seniors Sloane Anderson and Bebe Ghiselli scored four times apiece. The Raiders have backline experience as well as they work to make a change in the goal.

Grandview won just one game a year ago, but appears equipped to better that this season with a mix of experienced players and newcomers.

Coach Alex Smith expects her team to hang around in games with its experience defensively with a group that includes seniors Caroline Ryan and Gladys Mellinger along with goalie Skylar Krebs.

Offensively, Grandview scored just two goals all season, but already has two in two games this season in an 0-1-1 start, including a score by junior Emma Carey against Smoky Hill. Seniors Bryton Dehaven — a member of the Grandview girls basketball team that won the Class 5A state title last winter — Avery May and a few others will be key to getting the Wolves on the scoreboard more regularly.

Out swinging

“The girls have really bought in and they really want to have a good season,” Griffiths said after the Buffaloes’ 2-1 win over Grandview Aug. 17 at Legacy Stadium. “It’s been a good start, but we still have a long way to go still.”

The fruits of last season’s success — which included the program’s first win since the 2014 season — have been evident.

BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor The co-op program (which also includes players from Cherokee Trail and Eaglecrest in the Cherry Creek Schools) is up to a healthy 38 players and came into the season ranked 10th in the Colorado High School Activities Association’s preseason coaches poll and has targeted making the playoffs as its chief goal.

The leader on the field for Smoky Hill is junior Elyse Bailey, whose goal via a penalty stroke stood up as the game-winner against Grandview.

Bailey — last season’s goal leader with four — takes the lead on penalty corners and is tenacious in the middle of the field. She is one of several weapons for the Buffaloes along with junior Darian Smith — who scored the goal in Smoky Hill’s streak-busting win last season — senior Mollie Keating and others. Experience returns in other places, including the goal, where senior Meghan Bird made 187 saves last season.

“We grew a lot as a team last season,” Bailey said.

“It showed us that we could actually compete as a

The applicant claims ownership of this land and control of the groundwater in these aquifers underlying this property. The groundwater from these allocations is proposed to be used on the described property for the following beneficial uses: domestic, irrigation, commercial, stock watering, fire protection and replacement.

In accordance with section 37-90-107(7), the Colorado Ground Water Commission shall allocate groundwater from the above aquifers based on ownership of the overlying land. A preliminary evaluation of the application finds the volume of water available for allocation from the aquifers underlying the above-described property to be 3,840 acre-feet for the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer; 2,310 acre-feet for the Lower Arapahoe aquifer and 2,450 acre-feet for the Upper Arapahoe aquifer. These amounts are subject to final evaluation, and subsequent to issuance of the determinations, adjustment to conform to the actual local aquifer characteristics.

In accordance with section 37-90-107(7) (a), well permits issued pursuant to subsection 107(7) shall allow withdrawals on the basis of an aquifer life of one hundred years.

In accordance with Rule 5.3.6 of the Designated Basin Rules preliminary evaluation of the application finds the replacement water requirement status for the aquifers underlying the above-described property to be nontributary for the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer, nontributary for the Lower Arapahoe aquifer and nontributary for the Upper Arapahoe aquifer.

Upon Commission approval of determinations of rights to the allocations, well permits for wells to withdraw the allocations shall be available upon application, subject to the conditions of each determination, the Designated Basin Rules, and approval by the Commission. Such wells must be com-

pleted in the aquifer for which the right was allocated and must be located on the 160 acres of above described property.

Any person wishing to object to the approval of these determinations of rights to allocations must do so in writing, briefly stating the nature of the objection, the name of the applicant, a general description of the property, and the specific aquifer(s) and related receipt no(s). of the application(s) that are the subject of the objection.
