As Denver Public Schools prepares to close schools to combat falling enrollment, the district’s Board of Education is considering a policy change to no longer focus solely on the district’s smallest schools.The policy, if adopted by the board, would direct Superintendent Alex Marrero to develop a consolidation plan that does not use enrollment minimums, such as the 215-student threshold recommended by a community committee last year, as a “bright line criteria.”This would mean schools of any size are “eligible for consolidation,” according to the draft policy.“As kindergarten enrollment has declined since 2014, a stigma now exists for ‘small schools,’ which can accelerate the school’s enrollment decline,” the latest draft of the policy says.By removing the threshold, board member Scott Baldermann said it is his hope that the “burden” of declining enrollment won’t be concentrated on the district’s smallest schools.The goal, he said, “Is to make sure that all s...

‘It’s collapsing.’ Pandemic woes persist for struggling Bay Area childcare providers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:53:04 GMT

Hundreds of childcare providers across the Bay Area shuttered their doors when the pandemic hit, and many never found a way to reopen. The shortage amid skyrocketing costs has made it tough on parents, creating a ripple effect across the economy.In Santa Clara County, around 570 childcare businesses have closed since July 2020. Alameda County also lost nearly 300 of more than 1,800 providers between 2019 and 2021, according to Kidsdata.org.As the industry continues to reel, the cost of full-time childcare at licensed pre-schools in Silicon Valley has nearly doubled since the end of the Great Recession, from about $11,100 a year in 2010 to $20,500 in 2022, according to Joint Venture Silicon Valley’s 2023 Silicon Valley Index report.“We’ve seen a trend toward Silicon Valley becoming a less conducive environment to start and raise a family,” said Rachel Massaro, vice president and director of research at Joint Venture, a San Jose-based economic think tank.A yellow Vic...

Monterey County’s Chris Prieto a part of history in Tampa Bay

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:53:04 GMT

CINCINNATI – With each win, no one raised a toast. Oh, the music was a little louder in the Tampa Bay clubhouse, as players turned pressure into excitement.Perhaps because the Tampa Bay Rays are littered with youth on the roster, players were oblivious to what was occurring. So coaches just rolled with the record-breaking start to the Major League Baseball season.“We didn’t really talk about it,” Rays first base coach and former Carmel High standout Chris Prieto said. “You just learn to get in that mode and go the next day. Over 162 games, you keep grinding.”The first 13 games were one for the ages as Tampa Bay tied a Major League Baseball record for consecutive wins to start the season, a record that dates back 41 years to when the Braves achieved the feat in 1982.Carmel grad Chris Prieto has enjoyed the vibe during the Tampa Bay Rays’ winning streak. (John Devine — Monterey Herald) “I had been a part of some winning streaks as a player and coach in the minors,” Prieto said. “...
