We didn t work enough together. Barter emphasized that no decision has been made, and that the two boards are discussing options. COL, if it is closed, would finish out this school year, said Deb Nielsen, academic dean and teacher at the school. It has about 50 students enrolled from sixth grade to 12th grade, she said. In Durango, we care about all the kids that are here and want to offer them all a choice.
Different stuff works for different people.
I am disappointed. Choice, I think, is a good thing. Barter said COL students would be welcomed back into the public schools. There also are 12 employees at the school, Kuster said. Those employees would be allowed to apply for available positions in the school district, but they would have no particular rights to those jobs, Barter said.
