Welcome to CAPE
CAPE was formed in 2003 by citizens seeking to promote
the creation of two school districts from the current Boulder
Valley School District.
BVSD constituents reside in a wide variety of communities:
mountain, urban, rural and suburban. Residents in each of
these areas strive for the same goal: the highest quality
of education for our children. But each faces distinct issues
and challenges deriving from their differences in growth
patterns, size and age of school buildings, transportation
issues and geography.
Over the past several years, BVSD has faced a number of
tough challenges. Tight budgets, communities in transition,
and changing expectations present the BVSD Board and administration
with difficult decisions. Recent actions of the Board and
administration have resulted in frustration and pervasive mistrust
among parents, teachers, and concerned citizens.
We believe that the BVSD has become too large
to manage effectively. Dividing the district
into two comparably sized districts would eliminate many
of the conflicts and issues that currently distract the
BVSD Board and staff from the business of education. Smaller
districts would allow greater flexibility in implementing
solutions that address the educational needs of a diverse
population, and would promote closer governance, management,
and public input by the communities served.
CAPE is comprised of parents, teachers, and citizens of the Boulder Valley School District. CAPE is not affiliated with, nor has it been endorsed by, the Boulder Valley School District Board or administrative staff.
