Dr. Lou Fletcher ran for a seat on the Colorado Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) in 2024. He was the runner-up in a campaign against 6 other outstanding candidates. He was appointed to the PERA Board of Trustees in November of 2024 because a PERA board member departed before their term ended.

April showers may bring May flowers (or a surprise blizzard), but for students and teachers, we are entering the most intense month of the year. Along with the senior season of banquets, breakfasts, cappings and commencements, May is also the culmination of all kinds of testing, final projects, friendly farewells, and nervous transitions to the next level.

We conclude the Super Set by exploring the D49 blended education model, that finds its origins--and lasting home-- at The Campus, home of Pikes Peak Early College and Springs Studio of Academic Excellence. Come along with us as D49 Superintendent Peter Hilts dives into the PPEC approach with Nathan Pearsall, PPEC principal. We’ll learn how a campus balances in-person and online learning and why students who choose PPEC can graduate high school with a diploma – and a degree.
