Welcome to Boulder Weekly‘s 2024 Education Issue!
It’s a big topic to cover, and we are by no means the experts (See the pros at Chalkbeat for that.) We still brought you news and information for students of all ages, from elementary school to medical school.
Learn what to ask your kid’s teacher, what free stuff is available for your fourth grader, or why Colorado students are missing so much school. Or, for the adults, how about a list of local cooking classes?
Whatever your reason for reading, we hope you find it informative and instructive.
