Pilch invited Julie Ratcliffe, a business instructor at Greeley West High School, to the podium with students Alana Hill and Raymundo (Ray) Ocampo Flores. Pilch said both students scored in the top 10% nationally on High School of Business exams: Alana in Principles of Business and Business Economics and Raymundo in Principles of Business and Business Economics. Pilch also named other Greeley West students who placed in the top 10% on related exams: Grace Ader, Ian Abdi, Blake Steinmetz and Jason Vasquez.

“Both Alana and Raimondo have two exams that they participated in and scored in the top 10% of the country,” Pilch said, and she congratulated the students and instructor Julie Ratcliffe for the program’s success. Ratcliffe described the High School of Business curriculum as project-based learning created by the MBA Institute and said it gives students “a lot of confidence.”

Separately, Timothy Longacre, president of the Council of Student Representatives, read a resolution declaring January 2025 as School Board Recognition Month in District 6. The resolution thanked the board for volunteer service, guardianship of tax dollars and leadership implementing Innovation 2030. Longacre urged “all students and staff and citizens to join me in recognizing the dedication and hard work of local school board members.”

The recognitions were ceremonial; no formal board action was required.","Greeley-Evans staff recognized two Greeley West students for scoring in the top 10% nationally on business exams and a student leader read a resolution declaring January 2025 as School Board Recognition Month.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6385568,"Student representatives report lessons from CASB conference, propose outreach to uninvolved students",636,1860000,2496000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2119806-5ed28c67d899a330e53dc8bd30fce51b&start=1860&end=2496","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2119806-5ed28c67d899a330e53dc8bd30fce51b/thumbnail_1860000.jpg","/articles/6385568/Colorado/Student-representatives-report-lessons-from-CASB-conference-propose-outreach-to-uninvolved-students","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6385568-531e7ce9a3f9062d7310b71aa8c69c24/orig.mp4?Expires=1770486839&Signature=lOJdehUoQHTWvm32Nx-OKQ6mGRA7BfAecSpfmQUDKBgNYT6kAskOTD115k0-QJpjcQ0LAnkCrKgGVjK1L-IrBxrO3rWp3z4cF7RAtIF0hWs4gAhBzX9ni1Py3hfpLUIS1gT4qf7-dJo7TV4CgYGGWAcFLK8QeP9DOnXtu7af39u3hXnl9xjVHdDBPvksNsZIdpbN1qzmxQxfZ2JlddxK4-9nvkG~trGaPv3aY16Tkno~UJcUN1uIDwwrQRFnVCBWLDcf2ckvWbAJ~T3SS-5rBluV4mPh2u0Pc7sGepi1hd2S3CIsvmG-dbmeLkLYUChgb8Eq9TeqQOR5fKLI0fsC7w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the Jan. 13 Board of Education meeting, the council of student representatives (CSR) presented findings from the Dec. 5–7 Colorado Association of School Boards leadership conference and proposed a district outreach effort aimed at “uninvolved” students.

Aaron Allen, principal at North Ridge High School and a leader of the CSR delegation, introduced four student presenters who attended CASB: Edwin Power, Aliyah Medina, Sarah Venegas and Timothy Longacre, CSR president. Students described sessions on advocacy, leadership and district challenges including school funding, four-day school weeks and cell-phone policies.

“Through a good plan, hard work, outreach, and execution, we all have the power to make change within our communities,” said Edwin Power, a CSR delegate, summarizing the conference’s advocacy theme. Aliyah Medina said the conference taught her to “think from multiple different perspectives” when considering policies such as class size and phone rules.

Timothy Longacre, CSR president, told the board the officers identified a recurring problem during conversations with board members from other districts: a lack of morale and a cohort of students who are neither academically engaged nor participating in extracurriculars. Longacre said CSR plans to visit middle and elementary schools this semester to inform younger students about district opportunities and encourage earlier involvement.

Sarah Venegas described leadership training and the value of stronger community connections, noting larger districts like District 6 have more course and accommodation options but face challenges connecting students across a bigger system.

Board President Matthews praised the student reps’ planning and noted administrators and board members already meet regularly with CSR to support the outreach work. No formal board action was taken on the CSR proposals at the meeting.","Greeley-Evans student council delegates described takeaways from the Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB) conference and proposed a district outreach plan to motivate students who are not engaged in activities or classes; CSR officers plan visits to middle and elementary schools this semester.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6385576,"Greeley-Evans School District 6 launches AI task force, schedules teacher training Feb. 3",795,2690000,3485000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2119806-5ed28c67d899a330e53dc8bd30fce51b&start=2690&end=3485","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2119806-5ed28c67d899a330e53dc8bd30fce51b/thumbnail_2690000.jpg","/articles/6385576/Colorado/Greeley-Evans-School-District-6-launches-AI-task-force-schedules-teacher-training-Feb-3","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6385576-0ccf7c27a53b55fb32b9e5ef359d97a8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770486839&Signature=XJSTuUSyeu5hJsbKIprBGoKMIFLXuotxo4OrFzU8UcFiIzFDIdFTUc97MJwby8NnDYiKp4wXEmHCAsbwbAw1aIzZ6UAnnZvNznajm-RJr8uhiAqdHdaNT1-1YRhM-NQhtc8gux2csyClQ9lS-d3BvWQmd-AGEdAZeVi9VbESS25Ulp2t6UzcPC0QcFdeytjaUzGNlsIW7rDYUNusYmluCsftorrw-VtEJIQkpjPxfzILFBRFn45r2etBc~RWgeT24n01cvIimDknyFf7Vf-7nuV2HSSmy33sgLJX8VB3O-cGlan~1QE20hm6gv8I4wo3~qe6F4qh~8w~pRajvp7eGg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the Jan. 13, 2025 meeting of the Greeley-Evans School District 6 Board of Education, Assistant Superintendent Anthony Ospous updated the board on a newly formed artificial intelligence task force that will guide teacher training and pilot classroom AI tools tied to the district’s Innovation 2030 strategic plan.

Ospous said the task force aims to support educator instructional practices, promote equity of access and implement a professional development plan so teachers and students can use AI “ethically” and evaluate AI output for accuracy. He told the board the initiative is part of a Colorado Education Initiative (CEI) grant that selected District 6 as one of eight statewide partners.

“The states in purple are already seeing a decrease, a significant decrease in jobs due to AI,” Ospous said while describing workforce shifts and why the district is preparing students for an AI-driven workplace. He added the district must teach students and staff to use AI as an idea generator rather than an assignment-completer.

Dr. Degan Andrews, director of curriculum, instruction and assessment, described four industry and nonprofit partners supporting the work: Magic School, IBM (Skill Builder), AIEDU and Spark Fund. She said the district currently has 17 fellows—16 teachers and one instructional coach—receiving in-depth training; 11 fellows are training with Magic School, two with IBM Skill Builder, and four on both platforms.

Caleb Flores, secondary coordinator for multilingual learners, demonstrated classroom uses, including using Magic School to translate a short poem for students new to English and to scaffold complex assignments without lowering rigor. Flores cautioned that AI outputs can contain errors: in one visual aid generated for a scaffolded assignment he noted “a lot of misspelled words” on the AI-produced image and said teachers must remain “vigilant.”

Ospous said the district will offer a first round of AI professional development for secondary educators on Feb. 3, led by teacher fellows, and is piloting an “Introduction to AI” course for students. He emphasized the district’s intent to balance efficiency gains for teachers with instruction on ethical use and accuracy checks.

Board members thanked staff for the work. Director Campos Spitzy said professional development is critical because students often learn new technologies faster than teachers. The board did not take any formal action at the meeting on the task force update.

The district framed the effort as part of Innovation 2030’s Student Learning and Achievement goal; staff presented the update as an early-stage implementation step that includes partnerships, fellowships and scheduled PD.","Board hears update on AI task force tied to the district’s Innovation 2030 strategic plan; district selected as one of eight statewide partners with Colorado Education Initiative and working with Magic School, IBM, AIEDU and Spark Fund; 17 educator fellows and a Feb. 3 professional development session were announced.","actionData","errors"]
