Xcel Energy has indicated they may need to conduct a targeted Public Safety Power Shutoff on Wednesday, Dec. 17 to reduce wildfire risk, which likely would impact BVSD's ability to safely operate schools in impacted areas.

BVSD’s overall enrollment continued to decline this year, but at a greater rate than expected, BVSD Senior Planner Glen Segrue told the Board in an update earlier this month. The student count dropped 525 students, or 1.9% from last year—1% more than projected. Over the past five years, the downward trend is less steep at 1.3%. This is BVSD’s second biggest drop in enrollment since the pandemic. The district’s enrollment has declined by nearly 3,600 students since 2015.

Across the Boulder Valley School District, schools are uplifting one another and extending their hands to the community, showing what’s possible when people come together with compassion, purpose, and heart. During this season of giving, that spirit glows even brighter. Here are highlights of just some of the ways BVSD is helping others.
