"Jeffco Budget Cuts and how they will Affect you"

Parents, students try to save outdoor lab

JEFFERSON COUNTY - Tylin Stiller looks around the Mount Evans Outdoor Lab School and appreciates the experience. She doesn't want to be among the last to go through the historic program. "All of your classes are outside and it's almost like a new classroom and a new learning experience," Stiller, a sixth grader from Evergreen Middle School, said.

Two weeks ago, Jefferson County School Board President Dave Thomas announced a series of proposed cuts due to a reduction in funding from the state. The suspension of the outdoor lab schools at Mount Evans and Windy Peak is on the list aimed at saving the district approximately $900,000 each year.
