- School discipline changes move forward in Colo.
- October 19, 2011
- (AP) — Post-Columbine school disciplinary policies that Colorado lawmakers say lead to mandatory expulsions for things like inadvertently having a butter knife in a backpack are facing an overhaul, under a proposal given preliminary approval Tuesday. A legislative committee moved forward with a proposal that seeks to give education officials more discretion over expulsions and police referrals, which lawmakers say became more common after the 1999 Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, where two students killed 13 people and then themselves. Committee members said zero-tolerance policies adopted during the last decade have tied the hands of school administrators, who are forced to expel students or involve law enforcement for minor infractions.

Close to 30 of the 48 animals were shot and killed on Tuesday. Officials were pondering how to dispose of the remains.
- Oft-injured Thomas is Broncos’ new deep threat
- October 19, 2011
- (AP) — Demaryius Thomas’ goal as the Denver Broncos’ new deep threat is twofold: get on the field and stay there. Thomas has had more injuries than touchdowns since becoming the first wide receiver selected in the 2010 NFL draft, ahead of Dallas’ Dez Bryant. The burly wide receiver practiced for the first time in more than a month on Monday, the same day the Broncos traded Tim Tebow’s top target, Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Lloyd, to the St. Louis Rams for what will likely be a fifth-round pick in 2012.

- Nikki McLeslie: Is this best for our kids?
- October 19, 2011
- To the editor: I recently resigned from my position as athletic secretary/attendance clerk at Moffat County High School. Since I resigned, I have received numerous phone calls or people have been asking me what happened when I am seen in public. I decided that now would be the time for me to let you, the public, know what happened. In the fall of 2010, all of the classified staff — employees who are school secretaries or maintenance workers, including the custodians — of the school district were informed of a 6.5-percent cut in pay. The teachers and administration would take a pay freeze, which later became a 1-percent raise. I can only guess this happened because classified staff are the only employees who are not at the top of the pecking order, or not members of a teachers union.
