A weekly news source from the Douglas County School District
Ten new schools needed in next five years
Bond election recommended by Long Range Planning Committeee
The school district will need seven new elementary schools and three new secondary schools to keep up with growth over the next five years. This recommendation was presented to the School Board on Tuesday by members of the Long Range Planning Committee.
Preparing for future growth has been the task of the Long Range Planning Committee since 1984. This citizen-based committee analyzes growth trends, keeps track of housing developments and makes recommendations to the School Board on the best ways to accommodate ever-increasing numbers of students enrolling in Douglas County schools.
Between 2000 and 2005, the Planning Committee projects enrollment to climb from 32,550 to 45,290.
New schools will be needed in every area of the county, according to the Planning Committee, which recommended a bond election be conducted in November, 2000. The cost is expected to range from $165 million to $175 million. A budget election is also being considered to provide additional funds to operate the new schools. Further discussion will take place throughout the summer before decisions are made on these elections.
Recommended facilities 2001-2005
  • 7 new elementary schools
  • 2 new middle schools
  • 1 new high school
  • Additions/renovations at 3 high schools and 6 elementary schools

Division of Instruction K-8 LITERACY Back to Resources Index Rationale Top of Page Philosophy As educators in the Aurora Public Schools, we believe that..... the learner is the center of the educational experience. all children have a rich and varied potential for learning and must be provided with appropriate educational opportunities to meet their diverse learning needs. ongoing assessment must drive instruction so that instructional methods and sequences are based on the strengths, needs and experiences of the learners. students build knowledge and develop competency over time. This progression in students' competencies is reflected in the APS Communication and Arts and Humanities standards and benchmarks, as well as the APS developmental continuums for reading and writing. To implement these beliefs, we will develop a balanced curriculum which will include: explicit instruction provided within meaningful contexts in:
* the three cueing systems: phonics, syntax and semantics so that students can integrate these skills to create meaning.
* reading comprehension strategies so that students can develop a repertoire of skills and strategies for creating, analyzing and interpreting text.

AgrAbility Project
People With Disabilities Work In Agriculture
For most of the over three million Americans earning their livings in agriculture, the work is not just their livelihood, it is their way of life; a productive and satisfying way of life of which they are very proud.
The Problem
Agricultural production is hazardous. The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service estimates that more than 200,000 farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural workers experience lost-work-time injuries and occupational illnesses every year, approximately five percent of which have serious and permanent results. Off-the-farm injuries; health conditions, such as heart disease, arthritis, or cancer; and aging disable tens of thousands more. The Breaking New Ground Resource Center estimates that more than 500,000 persons working in agriculture have physical disabilities that interfere with their ability to perform essential tasks on the farm or ranch. Additionally, thousands of children born into agricultural families have disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, mental retardation, and epilepsy. Physical and attitudinal barriers often prevent these children from participating fully in farm and ranch operations, and from engaging in social and recreational activities enjoyed by other rural youth. The majority of people with disabilities who work or live in agricultural settings want to continue to do so despite their disabilities. All too often, however, they are frustrated in their attempts. Rural isolation, limited personal resources, gaps in rural service delivery systems, and inadequate access to agriculture-oriented assistance are among the obstacles they face.
