Weld Re-8 says health-ed decision due Sept. 22 BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“The plan we would have implemented in the beginning of 2021 isn’t what we now think we should do with our service,” said RTD’s Manager of Corridor Planning Doug Monroe. “What the plan is looking to do is allocate the resources to areas where we’re seeing the strongest ridership over the past few years.” That doesn’t mean the suburbs
The Weld Re-8 School District board of education said it will make a decision on a health-education policy at its regular meeting Sept. 22. It starts at 6:30 p.m. in the board’s meeting room, 200 S. Fulton Ave. Health education is part of a board-approved curriculum, but the subject is not available in classrooms and is not a requirement for graduation. When the board debated the issue at a Sept. 8 workshop, the focus was on whether to repeal the policy or ask parents to opt-in to allow their children to take the class. Board member Cody LeBlanc said the opt-in route was more of a matter of respecting rights. “It’s not going to be available at the elementary level,” said board member Michelle Bettger. “Parents will get a folder asking if they want to opt-in.” “I don’t care if future boards are notified,” LeBlanc said. “We need to make sure that parents are fully aware that their kids are going to be in this class. It should be a conversation between parents and their doctors.” Bettger said the course should be available. “Not all students are going to get it at home,” she said. “It’s a fine line. I took it when I was in high school. I’m sure things are different now. But it was presented in a professional manner by a teacher everyone liked.”

RTD’s service declining in the suburbs The transportation district’s new plan focuses on higher ridership areas BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Bus lines across Denver will see changes in service after the Regional Transportation District’s board
Hwy. Hwy. 85 and Lane Lane 85Bromley and Bromley Brighton, CO 80601 Brighton, CO 80601
of directors voted for a new plan that focuses more on higher ridership areas. That means some suburb lines will be lost or see reduced service due to low demand for transit, RTD officials said. The plan kicked off in 2019 with reevaluations coming after 2020 and will be implemented slowly over the next five years. The move comes as a post-pandemic effort to adapt to changing travel needs.
