EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ Cherry Creek School District voters will choose two new board members in November after current members step down, and four candidates are running for the open seats in Districts D and E. Terry Bates, Amanda Thayer, Mike Hamrick, and Tatyana Sturm have different ideas on keeping school spending in check and helping kids learn better — voters will decide which plan to support. Sentinel Colorado
- ➤ Aurora Public Schools voters will choose four board members from seven candidates—two incumbents and five new challengers running on plans to support teachers, promote equity, and keep students safe. The election highlights candidates such as Tapsuru Ousman Ba and Gayla Charrier, whose campaigns aim to bring strong community voices to school decision-making—ensuring the board works for all. Sentinel Colorado
ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ A new study by CU Denver doctoral student Sarah Nalley and advisor Michael Moore finds that wildfires and rising temperatures make dark wing spots on dragonflies absorb extra heat—reducing their mating success and upsetting the food chain. Dragonflies help control mosquitoes and serve as prey for birds and fish, so their decline may lead to more pests and hungry wildlife. Colorado Public Radio
