CASB at the Broadmoor is another article about CASB's bash at the Broadmoor. I'm not sure if it's supporting the shindig, or giving it a mild backhand:
CASB staffers expect lower attendance this year, due to the economy and cuts in state school funding. Association spokesman Brad Stauffer estimates about 800 participants, down from last year’s 1,000. It’s a lovely setting but other education groups like pretty places too – the Colorado Association of School Executives favors Breckenridge and the Colorado Education Association scheduled its fall bargaining retreat at Copper Mountain.
Our school boards and our school administrators shore do like their resorts, don't they? Well ... some of them. Note that attendance is down an estimated 20%. Due to 'the economy and state school funding.'
Too bad Stauffer and the rest of 'em haven't gotten the message.
The only 'conference' that's a bigger waste of taxpayer money, while providing 'public servants' a free vacation at a hotshot resort, is the annual Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police bash. You have to have a password to get into that section of their website. However, they Facebooked it. It was held last June up in Estes Park.
I think we need a mill levy override for junkets, don't you? Perhaps CASB can add that to next years list of 'seminars.'
