Kids from Pre-K to 12th grade will show off their business ideas tomorrow at The Village at Meridian, and we get the chance to be their first customers!
The Village at Meridian is hosting the Heroes Academy s Student Business Fair on Saturday, May 15, and students from Pre-K to 12th grade will have socially distanced booths set up along the streets for all of us to browse through. We might see TV-worthy cupcakes, gluten-free cookies, paintings, card tricks, bracelets, stationary, and even candy that looks like sushi. No matter what, all of it will be unique, well-thought-out, and full of heart.
The Pueblo Chieftain
Regarding the May 5, 2021, Pueblo Chieftain news story, “Bond committee blindsided by Pueblo D60’s decision to build new school,” Puebloans may recall that the D60 school board voted in 2019 to close Heroes Academy, but not replace it, in connection with development of the 2019 school bond proposal and bond projects school construction and repairs list.
It was with surprise, then, that the Citizens’ Bond Advisory Committee (CBAC) and the rest of the public only learned through a news story that in a single March meeting the school board both received and approved a proposal to use $30 million in bond revenues to construct a new, considerably larger student capacity K-8 school to replace on-site the under-performing and under-capacity K-8 Heroes Academy.
Bond committee blindsided by Pueblo D60 s decision to build new school
Board of Education members of the board were presented with the design of the new school and later approved it that night. This was the first time the district ever informed the community about the project.
The Pueblo Chieftain was recently told that D60 s Citizens Bond Advisory Committee (CBAC) was never informed in advance about the district wanting to build a new K-8 school, and was not allowed to give input.
The committee, which consists of seven members from the Pueblo community, was created in 2019 after voters approved the district s bond initiative.
