Education FundingNovember BAC News
For the fourth consecutive year, the state of Colorado will cut education funding. Despite these funding cuts, our school district continues to receive national and state recognition for education excellence. District 38 has and will continue to provide quality education due to our strong community and our outstanding parent volunteers. Enrollment is on the rise, so hopefully our district will not be making any more budget reductions for declining enrollment. For more district news, attend the Board of Education meeting on December 15th at 6:00 PM or view meetings on line by going to the district website, selecting the BOE on the left, and then on the right side select the meeting you wish to view.
