Editor’s note: The opinions of the smart, well-read women in my Denver book club mean a lot, and often determine what the rest of us choose to pile onto our bedside tables. So we asked them, and all Denver Post readers, to share their mini-reviews with you. Have any to offer?
More | Talk | Read It Later | ShareThe Douglas County School District is facing an enrollment paradox: It must close schools with too few students even as it needs to build new ones in growing suburban neighborhoods miles away. District officials say they will close as many as three elementary schools in Highlands Ranch at the end of the 2025-26 academic year, a move that comes as public school enrollment is falling statewide. But at the same time, the construction of new housing developments in Douglas County is shifting where children live, creating what district Superintendent Erin Kane has previously called “school deserts.” So the Douglas County School District will also construct new schools for the children living in areas now without them, including two elementary schools in the expanding Sterling Ranch and RidgeGate communities, thanks to the $490 million bond voters passed in November. “We’re really trying to make sure that we temper our reaction to declining enrollment while making sure that we keep our district viable and keep opportunities for kids at the forefront,” Kane said during a presentation this week on the district’s closure plans. The district is looking at 16 elementary schools in Highlands Ranch that could end up being part of its consolidation plan.

Supreme Court on Tuesday will hear arguments in a yearslong legal battle over a contentious proposed railroad that could send tens of millions more gallons of crude oil along the Colorado River, including near the critical water source’s headwaters in Colorado. Opponents of the 88-mile Uinta Basin Railway — led by Colorado’s Eagle County — successfully halted the Utah project when a federal appeals judge in 2023 agreed with their arguments that the potential environmental impacts of the rail line had not been sufficiently analyzed. But the coalition of private companies and seven Utah counties supporting the project petitioned the Supreme Court to review the appeals judge’s decision.

It was Aug. 8, and then it was Aug. 9, and they couldn’t sleep. So in the treatment room of their team hotel, a few Serbian basketball players ordered a drink and decompressed. They relived moments from their game that day — a heartbreaking 95-91 loss to Team USA in the semifinals of the Paris Olympics.

C. — The Avalanche, despite all of the injuries and goaltending issues, is one of the best teams in the NHL from the start of the second period until near the end of regulation. That’s a pretty misleading way to try to say something nice ahead of what has become a real problem: The Avs are among the worst teams in the NHL in the first period. Colorado has allowed 42 goals in the first period this year entering the weekend.
