    Construction Pathway

    Thank you to our community partner GW Phipps for investing in our students. Payton Chacon, Project Engineer and proud Viking from the Class of 2015, is giving students the opportunity to monitor a construction site from start to finish. Throughout the year, students will consistently return to the project until it is completed. This week, they participated in the foundation preparation of the new Ft. Lupton Town Hall.

    Thank you to Wayne Stolzenberger for taking the students. This opportunity—whether during the summer or the school year—allows students to advance and complete their Construction Pathway.

    At VHS, we offer numerous career pathways that help students thrive after high school. If you work for or own a company or organization interested in partnering with our students, either inside or outside the classroom, please contact Alicia Stolzenberger, Work Based Learning Coordinator, at stolzenbergera@wcdsre1.org.

    Title VI & VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

    Title IX

    Title IX is a comprehensive federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity.

    Regardless of whether sexual harassment (that includes sexual violence) occurs at school, Title IX obligates school districts to address any impact of that conduct on students that interferes with their ability to access their education. This means that schools must provide students with their Title IX rights and the contact information for adults at school who can respond to allegations of misconduct and put in place interim remedies to support impacted students. If students experience harassment or retaliation resulting from the exercise of their Title IX rights, then schools are legally obligated to take action to stop it from recurring.

    In terms of Title IX investigations, the School District is obligated to investigate and take action to stop misconduct that is impacting students at school, but there is not a strict timeline for such investigations. When the same allegations are being investigated by law enforcement, then the School District wants to minimize potential trauma for students by using information from law enforcement's investigation as much as possible. Most often, we do this by, among other things, using information in police reports, juvenile petitions, and information shared by the DA’s office as the substantive information for the School District’s Title IX investigation while also providing due process to the involved parties as required by the U.S. Department of Education rules and regulations governing school districts. While law enforcement investigations and any related legal proceedings are being conducted, the School District’s focus is on providing interim remedies to support students. Title IX for employees contact Krista Trimbach, Director of Human Resources and Payroll at 970-350-4201 or trimbachk@wcsdre1.org and Title IX for students contact Travis Stinar, Director of Operations at 970-350-4201 or stinart@wcsdre1.org, 1004 Main Street Platteville, Colorado 80651.
