At the October 15, 2021 special meeting of the Garfield Re-2 School District, the Board of Directors officially declared a vacancy in Director District C and determined a process to fill the vacancy. This vacancy occurred when Katie Mackley stepped down effective immediately at the October 13, 2021 regular school board meeting.
“It is with deep sadness and disillusionment that I submit my resignation from the Garfield Re-2 school board, effective immediately,” wrote Mackley in her resignation letter. “I ran for the school board with the desire to cultivate innovation and achievement for our district, work toward equitable outcomes for all students and foster a culture of communication and transparency within the district and the community. It has become apparent that my goals for the district are no longer in alignment with those of the community.”
Outdoor Education wraps up first quarter adventures at Riverside Middle School
Of the many opportunities that students have at Riverside Middle School, one sticks out as an especially unique experience. Riverside’s outdoor education teaches kids life skills while exploring in nature.
Each quarter the class has a different focus, starting with “Alpine Adventures.” This saw eighth graders climb Mount Elbert, the highest peak in Colorado, while seventh graders hiked up Devil's Causeway, which is about a 100-foot section that in some spots is only three feet wide and drops about 500 feet on each side.
