The superintendent, Dr. Heather Anderson, said the modular factory is a partnership with the City of Boulder and Flatirons Habitat for Humanity that gives students “a great opportunity to learn how to build homes while providing affordable housing in our community.” Students who worked on a brief video and then spoke to the board described completing framed modules that will be finished on site and sold as housing.

Sofia McPhee, a senior at Centaurus High School and the student lead at the facility, told the board she leads teams and helps rotate peers into leadership roles. “I was bossing everybody around. People like to take turns putting people in charge to give us the experience,” she said. Other seniors—Jim Baker (NuVista), Evan Gronquist (Boulder Universal) and Sean McCormick (Broomfield)—said the program includes OSHA safety training and nationally recognized certificates and that the factory experience differs from classroom work because students must problem-solve and meet building-code inspections.

Students described the project as two-story modular units that are roughly 80% complete when wheeled off the factory floor to be set on foundations. Dr. Anderson and board members noted a recent celebration for the first completed modular unit and said the next step is to set the duplex foundation; a timing remark said that will happen “sometime next month,” contingent on the project schedule.

Board members praised the program for hands-on learning and its link to community housing: one member noted appreciation that the students’ work will become real homes for families. Another board member asked how often students attend Apex versus their home school; students explained the program’s multi-year structure of classroom safety training followed by hands-on work, capstone projects and an industry-focused job fair scheduled at Boulder Mod in November.

The district and partners presented the facility as both an instructional site and a community housing project that provides students with career pathways, trade certifications and workplace experience. The board asked staff to continue reporting on the program’s outcomes and any industry placements resulting from the job fair.

Board President Rajpal closed the item by thanking the students for their presentation and acknowledging the district’s partnerships with the City of Boulder and Flatirons Habitat for Humanity.

Ending: The board moved from the student moment into the superintendent’s report; no formal board action was taken on the Apex program during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","September 23, 2025 Regular Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Boulder Valley School District students in the Apex Construction Trades program displayed work on a net-zero modular housing factory operated in partnership with the City of Boulder and Flatirons Habitat for Humanity, describing hands-on training and workforce pathways.","taxTitle","Boulder Valley School District No. Re2, School Districts , Colorado","taxId",12898,"location","Colorado","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6461332,"Parent urges BVSD board to strengthen bullying investigations and accountability",115,2424000,2539000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824439-b72e176ff1d031aed199363a61e24265&start=2424&end=2539","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5824439-b72e176ff1d031aed199363a61e24265/thumbnail_2424000.jpg","/articles/6461332/Colorado/Parent-urges-BVSD-board-to-strengthen-bullying-investigations-and-accountability","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6461332-07356f10c34ec88b7e50ca38f5006269/orig.mp4?Expires=1770511889&Signature=cgzUKf19VqbRxdNxPmajA6tJZPGFiQaItBPxKOZaQu9F2a08pHHTwAXndX51mypkYOwqSAzI1YagGl5~y3nThAJ8Q88dIRwiyFawNMPFYANhhyC~56Zqo7Wg5rUHbGrCnCCo~itksRu-HpJ45sl6TGMIrL5FmhypsizYbeLNQT~afhnMz7yMppsCSMrcCv0yn0TP2tbSgqONBxR948D5~V9pC~k1hEvnbZpu4kktyraPSmv5hNmSQ7AcoUqU2Y9ZKRyw3lPYq3J09lrgYnA0AfOuqljt3ePKCUVX6WwmV-ssJsiRxgR-~MmgfL4IqAxKBWiabEBD77w0kIKRi37Gmg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Stefan Schreier, a parent, used the district’s public-participation period on Sept. 23 to urge the Boulder Valley School District Board of Education to strengthen the district’s response to bullying and cyberbullying.

Schreier described a public social-media post that included “harmful, hateful, body shaming comments” directed at a student, and said there was also bullying on campus. He told the board that school leadership’s response felt “dismissive,” saying the victim was asked to sign a “coexistence agreement” that made the student feel as if they were equally at fault. Schreier characterized the district’s follow-up summary—“We found no further evidence, and no one would get in trouble”—as deeply damaging to the harmed student and to broader trust in district policies.

Schreier urged the board to ensure that investigations are thorough and transparent; that consequences for bullies are consistent and serious; and that victims are protected rather than pressured to accept agreements that feel punitive. He argued that if harmful conduct is tolerated or minimized, district anti-bullying policies lose meaning.

Ending: The comment was entered into the public record and board members acknowledged the concern. No formal action was taken at the meeting, but board members and staff noted the importance of ensuring that policy and practice align and suggested the district will continue to review incident handling procedures.","A parent told the BVSD board that a student-targeted social-media post and school-ground harassment were handled inadequately and called for thorough, transparent investigations, consistent consequences and protections for victims.",{"_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},6461336,"Peak to Peak student asks BVSD board to clarify combined honors/standard classes",120,1825000,1945000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824439-b72e176ff1d031aed199363a61e24265&start=1825&end=1945","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5824439-b72e176ff1d031aed199363a61e24265/thumbnail_1825000.jpg","/articles/6461336/Colorado/Peak-to-Peak-student-asks-BVSD-board-to-clarify-combined-honorsstandard-classes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6461336-c8bf7d8add81c5c2af3da20258326ba9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770511889&Signature=FpYCL4EtpCTnshKTj90sBkZYkV7rnjPtb~jmZ5MxyRN2-DSFYlZupoDRWT8I1bAZWP5UTfRYr4-ro0DmDGp6kMorYEmhifTvMe03mXbsmeyPBnre8-aIb5L09vj74KTAwFC7~qpolACHRI4IBKsfXmINlpK3KHu7I7hYnv3qniSNLMl64C6arGsY3bjqQO2CqYtGXfGhRhy3oWYjC03gYOsKzCwCQC2H~BGRvU6dDUwITK3mh75sKwBC8-MMj8EHwoA-WIBBsUpgqdZKIBnMAwR2T~IWyN0bV~ZoFyOm66qhMY2K~gKiCyh1OMXzg8aq0nx8Mxg1OV2qBfMXYiX9~Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Naomi Antman, a sixth grader at Peak to Peak Charter School, used the board’s public-participation slot on Sept. 23 to raise concerns about new classroom placement practices at her school.

Antman told the Boulder Valley School District Board of Education that honors and standard students have been combined into the same middle-school classes for several subjects, including English, and that her family did not learn of the change until the school year began. Antman said teachers told families the honors students would receive differentiated, harder work, but she said she had not seen evidence of separate honors assignments and feared advanced students would not have their needs met.

“Before the school year started, my family and I didn’t find out about this until the school year actually started,” Antman said. She asked the board to consider what is being prioritized when schedules combine students and to ensure families have clear notice during school-choice decisions and on Infinite Campus so parents and students understand whether a class is a combined honors/standard section.

Antman added that she does not blame teachers and understands the change was made to address scheduling conflicts; her request was that the district be transparent and ensure honors-level differentiation occurs where promised.

Ending: Board members received the comment during public participation; no formal action was taken at the meeting. Antman’s remarks were entered into the record for district staff and board consideration during ongoing discussions about enrollment, school choice and instructional practice.","A sixth-grade student at Peak to Peak Charter School told the BVSD board that honors and standard students have been combined in middle-school English without clear differentiation; she asked the district to ensure families receive notice when classes are combined and that honors work is provided as promised.",{"_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},6461340,"BVSD board approves revised school attendance-area plan after months of public comment",2601,2019000,4620000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824439-b72e176ff1d031aed199363a61e24265&start=2019&end=4620","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5824439-b72e176ff1d031aed199363a61e24265/thumbnail_2019000.jpg","/articles/6461340/Colorado/BVSD-board-approves-revised-school-attendance-area-plan-after-months-of-public-comment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6461340-09509402c0a498abef2f8a68cfe01b94/orig.mp4?Expires=1770511889&Signature=Pq3TuUnXHEuD01cHBTIvh~ndMzzJVDqboTx0hO2w78layf-MkVbLCnJSPcCTPCJ7iXlqVCT4EUcOeRPIVzhgTo7kjl5a4vONAklv7JW~rh0qw5B6PM3pEU1U5gmatTxzH-r32AJbnRh2grHwyqMQiLZUkqScPcPtZ2~fusKRNQUMt7oiWbcfsArhGDrTwZAaX6gvnxhTgsDRx-u8fRayvX1sU5vx-t-LVDwXGU91TBy1wo3LjY63ldWTtI783xZvC8gu34s46MGgLh74choRwCMYQrbO88q-TmpHT4OrKVllbaTJJ-wCrOCtOCNCkKBqPDKuEGvReVOYkGzRaQTsUg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Boulder Valley School District Board of Education voted on proposed changes to school attendance boundaries at its Sept. 23 regular meeting after months of study and public input. The board first voted on a motion to adopt Option A, which would have allowed a limited set of students to remain at their current schools; that motion failed on a 4–2 roll call. The board then approved a subsequent motion—moving forward with an alternative implementation plan that a majority of board members had described as Option B during discussion. The roll call on the adopted motion showed a majority in favor and the chair declared the motion passed.

Public commentators urged the board to preserve neighborhood cohesion and limit travel distances for affected families. Jackie Vineyard, a Boulder native and Crestview-area parent, said Orchard Creek would be rezoned to schools farther away under the proposal and called the change “harmful,” noting that “Platt Middle School is 7.5 miles away from our neighborhood” while Centennial is about 3.4 miles away. Vineyard and other speakers said longer routes would be impractical for working families and would make after-school activities harder to manage.

Kristen Sanford, a Gunbarrel resident, said the proposed boundary line would “pull our community apart” and warned that the district’s bus system—already stretched by driver shortages and consolidated stops since the COVID-19 pandemic—could leave families without reliable transportation. Sanford and other speakers urged the board not to rezone children away from established neighborhood schools where families are strongly connected.

Board members said they had weighed competing goals: easing imbalances in school enrollment to improve instructional services districtwide, preserving stability for students who would be mid-span during a change, and limiting precedent-setting for future boundary adjustments. Supporters of the eventually adopted plan argued that the alternative (Option B) gives families more time to finish at their current schools and reduces disruptions for students. Opponents said the grandfathering provisions in some proposals would set a difficult precedent and could complicate future decisions when enrollment pressure intensifies.

In the meeting’s public comment period, several speakers also described local enrollment trends and school decline at Crestview; board members acknowledged that attendance-area changes alone do not address the district’s broader enrollment challenges and said further long-range planning would follow.

Votes at a glance: the board first voted on a motion to adopt Option A (moved by a board member on the record as Millenia/Lalania; motion text: “move forward with option A”), which failed by roll call (Chavez: No; Medler: No; Quinlan Ueda: Yes; Rajpal: Yes; Sergeant: No; Unger: No). The board then adopted a second motion to implement the district’s alternative boundary plan (recorded roll call: Chavez: Yes; Medler: Yes; Quinlan Ueda: Yes; Rajpal: Yes; Sergeant: Yes; Unger: Yes). The transcript did not record a named mover or seconder for that second motion.

Ending: Board members said the action finalizes boundary lines for the coming school year under the adopted plan and that the district will continue long-range advisory work and engagement on enrollment and capacity issues. Implementation steps and communications to affected families will be handled by district staff under the superintendent’s direction.

Note: The board’s approval incorporated public testimony and months of staff work; the board also emphasized that open enrollment remains a separate district process that families may use when available.","After hours of testimony from residents and board debate, the Boulder Valley School District Board of Education voted down one grandfathering option and approved an alternative attendance-area plan (the board recorded a subsequent roll-call approval). Public speakers raised travel distance, community cohesion and bus concerns.","actionData","errors"]
