Public CAP4K Meeting May 19 in Durango on Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness
Attn: Teachers, Principals, Superintendents, Curriculum and Assessment Directors, Counselors and All Building staff
The Colorado Department of Education and the Colorado Department of Higher Education will jointly host a town hall meeting in Durango next week as part of the ongoing effort to establish a description of "postsecondary and workforce readiness." (Note: The first meeting will be held tomorrow, May 14 in Glenwood Springs from 5-7 p.m. at the Glenwood Springs Community Center, 100 Wulfsohn Road.)
The Durango meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 19, from 5 - 7 p.m. at the DoubleTree Hotel in Durango, 501 Camino del Rio.
Educators, students, parents, business and community members and interested citizens are invited to the meetings.
The following week's meeting will be held from 5 - 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 27, at the University of Colorado Boulder - University Memorial Center, Room 235, 1669 Euclid Ave.
These gatherings will total 12 in a series of 13 statewide meetings planned to solicit a broad spectrum of community thinking. The work was launched by Senate Bill 08-212, the "Preschool to Postsecondary Education Alignment Act" also known as the Colorado Achievement Plan for Kids (CAP4K).
The town hall forums will focus on such questions as:
- What do students need to be workforce ready?
- What do students need to be postsecondary ready?
- Are there special considerations for the workforce or higher education in your region of the state?
Please contact Samantha Long, SB 212 project manager, with any questions, and feel free to share this event with others you think might be interested. We hope you will be able to join us in this important conversation.
