\"Education<\/h1>\n

Colorado’s Rural Schools: Challenges and Opportunities – October 24, 2018<\/h1>\n

While all of Colorado\u2019s schools and districts face challenges, they are perhaps most acute in the rural areas of our state. Funding is very limited, teacher shortages are common, the majority of rural districts now operate on four-day school weeks, and achievement gaps remain stubborn. The good news is that many educators are developing innovative approaches to these rural challenges.<\/p>\n

Please join us for a conversation about these new ideas, and how rural educators are addressing current challenges.<\/p>\n

Panelists:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Douglas Bissonette, Superintendent, Elizabeth School District
\nDenille LePlatt, Director of Rural Services, Colorado Department of Education
\nMichelle Murphy, Executive Director, Colorado Rural Alliance<\/p>\n

Moderator:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peter Huidekoper, Director of Colorado\u2019s Education Policy Fellowship Program, CU Denver School of Public Affairs<\/p>\n

When:<\/strong> 5:00-6:30 p.m., Wednesday, October 24, 2018
\nWhere:<\/strong> Terrace Room (2nd floor), 1380 Lawrence Street, Denver
\nAdmission:<\/strong> Free, but space is limited — register today!
\nAppetizers and refreshments will be served.<\/p>\n
