Aspen School District is starting to get a firmer sense though not an entirely complete one just yet of just how many staff plan to return next year and how many vacancies it will need to fill.
Whether the Aspen School District’s decision to limit exposure notifications would have an impact on the spread of COVID-19 is “hard to say,” said Josh Vance, an epidemiologist with Pitkin County Public Health.

Fresh faces abound on the Aspen School District administrative roster for the coming 2021-22 school year, including a new human resources director, a new principal and assistant principal at Aspen Middle School and a new principal at Aspen Elementary School.
The new guard is the latest batch of hires in a year-plus of more than a few changes at the administrative level, including the hiring of superintendent David Baugh as well as the promotion of Tharyn Mulberry to assistant superintendent and Sarah Strassburger to Aspen High School principal last spring. (The district also brought on a new communications director, Kiki Lavine, this spring.)
