In a significant decision, the Boulder Valley School Board has approved new attendance boundaries to balance student enrollment amid declining numbers.
This marks the district's first major redistricting in over 40 years.
A key change reassigns a Gunbarrel neighborhood from Crest View to Heatherwood Elementary, sparking mixed reactions from parents worried about commutes and community bonds.
The unanimous vote includes grandfathering options, letting current students remain at their schools, though transportation may not be provided.
To boost appeal, Heatherwood introduces an environmental STEM program focused on local wildlife and open spaces.
Board member Jason Unger praised the move as essential, while others advocated for smooth transitions.
The updates highlight tensions between efficiency and neighborhood ties, with central Boulder areas shifting fully to Bear Creek Elementary.
Middle school feeders simplify, directing all Whittier students to Casey Middle to ease planning.
Voices from Orchard Creek express concerns over disrupted connections and longer distances.
With open enrollment available, the changes take effect in fall 2026, allowing time for adaptation.
New Gunbarrel developments may influence future enrollment trends and property values.
The board plans reviews every five years to maintain balance in this evolving landscape. Read More... |

In northern Colorado, a young athlete is making waves with an unexpected career pivot.
Elijah Knudsen, formerly a standout basketball player at Mead High School, has switched to golf at Colorado State University.
This 2025 fall season sees him joining the CSU Rams men’s golf team, leaving behind the court for a fresh pursuit on the fairways.
Growing dissatisfaction at Nebraska-Kearney, due to scarce court time, eroded his love for hoops.
Returning home, he discovered a natural talent for golf through relaxed sessions at nearby courses, impressing with powerful shots.
Guided by coach Jack Kennedy, Knudsen is refining his game during the team's impressive 2025 run, featuring strong performances like the Ram Masters Invitational.
His story represents an uncommon sports transformation, merging brute strength with developing precision.
Events such as the Les Fowler Invitational in Broomfield showcased his promise, with solid even-par scores amid initial jitters.
Bolstered by his family's success in Colorado's coffee industry, Knudsen is forging his own path.
Communities in Mead and Fort Collins are excited, following this inspiring tale in the state's golf world.
With upcoming Mountain West tournaments on the horizon, Knudsen's reinvention motivates aspiring athletes across the region.
From basketball phenom to golf contender, Elijah Knudsen embodies the power of new beginnings at CSU. Read More... |

Weather Watch: Based on the forecast (Oct. 31 falls just beyond our 7-day outlook), expect highs in the low 60s with a chance of evening showers. Pack a waterproof cape for your little superheroes. Bummer!
Pumpkin Everything: Farmers’ markets and nearby patches (like Anderson Farms) overflow with pumpkins begging to be carved, roasted, or turned into PSLs. Grab a gourd and channel your inner artist—or just make a mess.
