I was fortunate to spend some time with the Commissioner of Education, Dr. Katy Anthes (pictured on the left) at the Superintendent's Advisory Council meeting today. Dr. Anthes made a special trip to the SLV to visit with Superintendents across the valley to see what it is that we are needing in rural Colorado. Topics included were:
Rural school funding
New legislation around the Claire Davis Act and increased school accountability
Statewide evaluation system
Unfunded mandates
