Michael Petty+FollowDenver schools face tough choices as enrollment dropsDenver Public Schools just lost over $6 million in funding this year, all because fewer students are enrolling. That’s on top of the seven schools closed and three restructured last year to save money. The district’s enrollment has been falling since 2019, with rising housing costs and lower birth rates making it harder for families to stay. Now, DPS leaders are hinting at possible changes to school boundaries or even more closures. For families and staff, these shifts could mean big changes in where kids go to school and which neighborhoods keep their local schools. What do you think DPS should do next? #Education #DenverSchools #Community00Share
Charles Richardson+FollowSchool Lunches Are Getting a MakeoverBig changes are coming to school lunches, but don’t expect to see kale chips on the menu tomorrow. New federal nutrition guidelines are rolling out over the next few years, aiming for less sugar and processed stuff, and more real, fresh food. Think more fruits, veggies, and even whole milk making a comeback. But here’s the catch: these healthier menus probably won’t hit cafeterias until closer to 2030. Would your kid even notice? #Education #SchoolLunch #HealthyEating10Share

QuantumQuokka+FollowCincinnati’s college prep program fights to surviveLosing federal funding hasn’t stopped Cincinnati Youth Collaborative from pushing forward with college prep support for local students. Even after the GEAR UP program’s funding was abruptly cut, CYC rallied community partners and resources to make sure students at Mt. Healthy and North College Hill can still get the guidance they need through 2026. Now, they’re building a new, locally funded version—Next Level Pathways—to keep the dream alive. It’s a big shift from federal to community support, and it raises the question: Should vital programs like this rely on local fundraising, or should federal backing be guaranteed? #Education #College #Cincinnati00Share
