a hangover in this way:
a bond, a future.
a hangover in this way:
a bond, a future.
Overview:
The superintendent of the Mancos School District, Brian Hanson, led us in a discussion about what it means to be a rural school teacher: “You’ll never have a better family” he told us. “You’re more than just a teacher here” he continued, stating that he loved going to a coffee shop and seeing students or families: that is the mark of a healthy school, in which the high schoolers wave to the younger ones, their role models.
Another key philosophy of the district is putting “the right test in front of the kids.” While the district has opted out of the Common Core Tests, they still teach the common core, but they do not teach to the test. Instead, they do spend time preparing their students for the ACT and SAT, boasting high scores of the previous senior class.
Architecture:
When we walked through the doors of Mancos Middle School, we did not know what had happened the night before: the district was approved for a 25 million dollar bond that would fund a major reconstruction of the school, which should be finished in 2020.
