Pueblo School District 60 is asking the community for feedback on potential school mergers to shape its future— the anonymous survey, limited to one response per person, covers six groups of schools for review.

From September 15 to 17, Fort Carson's 4th Infantry Division conducted Ivy Sting, a three-day training exercise designed to test the Army's new warfighting technology by replacing the outdated AFATDS with the new Artillery Execution Suite (AXS).
