We want to extend our deepest congratulations and gratitude to every candidate, volunteer, and supporter who gave their time, energy, and heart to this year’s school board elections. Your commitment to running positive, values-driven campaigns centered on public education and support for teachers—was a powerful statement of what our community stands for!

 

Special congratulations to Wen Dolphin and Michelle Hubbard for their victories in Widefield District 3, to LeAnn Baca Bartlett and Charles Johnson for winning a seat on the D11 School Board and to Holly Withers for her victory in the D49 District 1 race.
