🏘️ Community
Nonprofits have teamed up—using Airbnb.org, Durango’s Team Up and Mile High United Way’s 2-1-1 Help Center—to provide free emergency housing for families displaced by floods that damaged over 100 homes in La Plata and Archuleta counties.
The service will offer food, shelter and rental assistance while residents are urged to call 2-1-1 for aid.
🎓 Education
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.
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.
🌲 Environment
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.
