Colorado Rural Education Collaborative

What a convening! Thank you to the incredible rural education leaders who joined us in Salida for the CREC Summer Convening 2025, and a special thank you to Susana Cordova and the Colorado Department of Education for attending and sending a strong message of support for rural education.

Together, we tackled big questions:
❓How can we better recruit and retain rural educators?
❓What does responsible AI use look like in the classroom?
❓How do we ensure fair accountability and finance systems for rural districts?
❓What’s next for housing, coaching, SPED staffing, and CTE access?

We’re carrying your insights into action this summer!

Stay tuned for updates, and let’s keep building a stronger future for rural Colorado.
