To aid in the preparation of the 303 Water Quality Management Plan the Water Quality Control Division undertook a survey of the Colorado River from Dotsero, Colorado to the Utah border a river segment requiring additional data. This report covers a sampling period extending from October 1973 through September 1974. The main emphasis during the sampling period as the gathering of chemical data although some biological studies were also conducted.
The state currently has around nine different programs where learners can earn college credits and quality credentials in high school. The task force spent its time together examining these existing programs, including their funding and outcomes, and identified a number of challenges in the current system. The task force determined that the current postsecondary and workforce readiness system should be wholly and thoroughly reexamined. When reviewing and considering changes to the system, the task force emphasized the need for a learner-centered approach. Because the current system grew out of multiple programs developed over a number of years, it was not necessarily designed with learner needs at the center. As such, simply tinkering around the edges of what is in place in the current system is not likely to achieve the goals and outcomes desired.
