Nyah Jordan, left, and Archer McPeek, both 7th graders at Platte Canyon Middle School in Bailey, work together on an assignment in English Language Arts class, February 09, 2017. A new state report says a variety of school districts are succeeding in helping low-income, minority students succeed, and Platte Canyon was named for some of the highest growth.Re: Feb. 9 news story.
Platte Canyon School District is to be congratulated on its accomplishments in reaching those kids challenged by poverty or language, but I wonder how the district’s per-pupil spending compares to a school district in the San Luis Valley, for instance. I think we would find that money does make a difference.
