Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway joined Platteville Mayor Bonnie Dunston, Town Manager Troy Renken, Weld County School District RE-1 Superintendent Jo Barbie, South Valley Middle School Principal Jeff Angus and several community members Monday, January 28, 2013, for the official opening of the Platteville Fitness Room.

The fitness room, located in the South Valley Middle School, 1004 Main St., in Platteville, was the result of area entities combining resources to meet a need in the community. The school district and the town agreed to provide space and supervision for the fitness room which is open to the community three days a week. A $5,000 grant from the Healthy Weld 2020 program enabled the two entities to purchase treadmills, elliptical cycles and recumbent bikes for the fitness room.

At the May 23,2012 Board of Education meeting, the decision was made to non-renew the administrative contract of the principal at Weld Central High School. 

The Colorado Department of Education’s Office of Professional Services and Educator Licensing today announced the limited availability of a new round of scholarships to support teachers applying for National Board Certification with the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards.
