About This Blog

Why write this blog? It sure isn’t because I have loads of time on my hands!

When I first joined the Board, we were going over evaluations of ourselves and the District. One of the areas that we said needed continuous improvement was public relations and engagement. Our county has many people with no familial connections to school students, and we even struggle reaching out to and informing those who have such connections. I thought this blog would be an easy way for people to just check in. I will post updates on upcoming events and summaries of recent meetings. I’ll weigh in on some decisions we’ve made and give some opinions. I will often be informal in my speech, but I assure you I take my position on the Board of Education very seriously. But a blog is a good place to cut through the formality and say it like it is. I hope to do that here.

I HAVE to emphasize that this is a personal effort, that I do NOT check what I am posting with anyone else in the District, and that they can NOT be held accountable for what I choose to post here. This is very important. Please understand this.

The End

It's almost November, and my term on the school board is coming to a close. It has been such a memorable experience for me. When I applied for the position last year, I honestly never thought I would actually be appointed, but I'm very grateful I was. Looking back, there are things I would have done differently if I knew at the beginning what I know now. I'm sure if I were on the Board for another year, I would say the same thing next year about this year! I have learned so much and still have so much more to learn.


My family and I will soon be settled in our new home in Maryland. We will miss beautiful Colorado and our beloved Delta County, but we are excited for this new chapter in our lives. I wish Tammy, Cheryl, and the new board members the best of luck, and I wish all the best for the students and staff of the Delta County School District.
