SUMMER EBT IS BACK!
Colorado’s Summer EBT program gives families a one-time $120 grocery benefit for each eligible child (like yours!) over the summer, when kids aren't getting the meals they usually eat at school.

Most eligible children are automatically enrolled in Summer EBT, but some will need to apply. Use the new Summer EBT Enrollment Checker to
see if your child is already enrolled or if you need to apply for 2026 benefits!

Visit co.gov/sebtenrollment

Summer EBT (sometimes called S-EBT) is a new program that provides nutritious food to eligible students in the summer months when they are not in school.

Re: Superintendent and Change.org Petition

I write to you on behalf of the Huerfano School District Board of Education. The Board is aware of a Change.org petition calling for the removal of Superintendent Robert Howard based on alleged misconduct. While the Board recognizes and agrees that individuals have First Amendment rights, the type of statements in the Change.org petition are careless and unsupported by facts. There is no place in public education for such false and libelous rhetoric.

The Board wants the community to know that Mr. Howard has not engaged in the misconduct falsely alleged and that it continues to support him as the District’s Superintendent.
