SUMMARY:Meet the Platte Canyon School District School Board Candidates
LOCATION:Platte Canyon High School, Canyon Room, 57093 US Hwy 285, Bailey, CO 80421
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\nPLEASE make the time to attend this very important event!\n \n Meet the
  School Board Candidates\n Tuesday, October 10, 6:00 - 7:30 PM\n Platte Can
 yon High School - Canyon Room\n \n This year we will have a school board el
 ection for the first time in over eight years. Six candidates will be runni
 ng for three open seats. Mail in-ballots will be sent out on October 15th a
 nd the Platte Canyon Chamber of Commerce will host a meet the School Board 
 candidates event on Tuesday, October 10th, from 6:00PM to 7:30PM in the Can
 yon Room. The Canyon Room is located in the center of the High School and M
 iddle School buildings at 57093 US Highway 285, Bailey, CO 80421.\n \n Like
  any community, our schools are a reflection of our community demographics 
 and values. Because our community is relatively well educated and affluent 
 compared to the state average, our school district in turn almost always pe
 rforms better than the state average. We have many dedicated and capable te
 achers and have some pockets of true excellence, like our 7th grade English
  Language program. We also have some financial and performance challenges. 
 Some of these challenges have gone unaddressed for many years and have now 
 come to the point where they must be addressed. Addressing these challenges
  will fall to the new board.\n \n Here is a list of some the more pressing 
 and interrelated issues facing a new school board:\n \n 1 Since peaking at 
 1,575 K12 students in 1997, district enrollment has been in steady decline 
 and now stands at about 855.\n \n 2 Last year about half of our graduating 
 8th graders chose Conifer High School over Platte Canyon High. Why are they
  leaving and what can we do differently to keep them in the district?\n \n 
 3 According to the Colorado Department of Education (CDE), last year 210 sc
 hool age children living in our district attended schools in another distri
 ct. This costs the district over $1-million in annual state funding.\n \n 4
  According to the CDE our teacher turnover rate has been trending up and in
  the Fall of 2016 was 29%, one of the highest turnover rates in the state. 
 This year's reported rate will be even higher. What can be done to both att
 ract and retain the kind of teachers our children deserve?\n \n 5 According
  to the CDE our annual median teacher pay is nearly $12K below Jefferson Co
 unty. How can we adjust our spending priorities to make our pay scale more 
 competitive?\n \n 6 Based on objective third party measures (SAT & ACT 
 test results), year after year, half of our High School graduates leave our
  doors unprepared for college, trade school, or the workforce. To be fair t
 his is a public education problem, but the solution will be local. What can
  be done to keep so many of our children from falling behind and leaving ou
 r doors unprepared?\n \n A wise man once said we get the government we coll
 ectively deserve. Sometimes we get something less than ideal because we don
 ’t take the time to vote. So trite as it sounds, please take the time to le
 arn about our candidates and vote. Our children deserve the best education 
 we can manage to give them.\n
