Dear Editor:
Meeker School District has had more than its share of negativity lately. So, let’s shift our thinking to a more positive direction, the future.
As a member of the Citizens for Meeker Schools Committee, a teacher in the Meeker School District and a taxpayer in Rio Blanco County, I would like to ask you to consider the positive effect the proposed mill levy override, Ballot Question 3A, will have on our schools.
First,…




Mrs. de Vergie is absolutely correct about the high school being bare-bones with regards to instructional staff. When I started teaching at MHS in the fall of 1988 there were 2.5 FTE each devoted to math AND science courses; full time business instructor, and foreign languages taught included French, Spanish, and even Russian, Japanese, and German several years.
However there are a limited number of courses that do help meet business program requirements and Statistics is offered as a stand-alone course every other year, alternating with Calculus.
