Garfield County's Educational Challenges
Garfield Re-2, like many other school districts, faces common issues such as sports rivalries, budget concerns, and local pride. However, it has also been embroiled in politics, controversy, and culture wars in recent years.
The district, which comprises 10 schools and serves 4,700 students, has struggled to maintain focus on education amidst the distractions. Teachers and parents have had to mobilize to keep the school board responsive to their needs.
A notable example of the controversy was the attempted adoption of the American Birthright social studies standards two years ago. This curriculum package, assembled by right-wing think tanks, sparked significant debate and opposition.
The task of educating students has not been easy in recent years.
