Bob Miller, Bob Sherca, Mary McKee, David Peak, Littleton Representing a number of community members who wished to address the Board regarding proposed plans of the Ken Caryl Ranch Metropolitan District. Ms. Kathy Tully, Director, Property Management, indicated that the property included in the proposed plan of the Ken Caryl Ranch Metropolitan District belongs to the District and that the Board of Education would need to approve any proposed plan. The Board only recently became aware of the issues involved and will consider the best interest of the public when making a decision regarding any proposed plan.
Families seem to be comfortable with the District.
There does not seem to be a major change in the pattern of people moving to Jefferson County. Often people access the Internet and available publications when deciding where to move. It is important for the District to focus on positive public relations and continue to overcome past perceptions. Most questions from customers center around enrollment, teachers, administration, test scores, sports, after school programs, participation of parents, and school ranking. School reports cards will be a factor in the future.
