Boulder Valley School District Ends School Resource Officer Program
On Tuesday, the Boulder Valley Board of Education voted to approve a resolution that directs the superintendent to end the school resource officer program. This comes after protests this summer sparked a national debate about how law enforcement can 鈥� and should 鈥� operate, including in schools. , virtually attended that Boulder Valley Board of Education meeting, and she joined us to explain what鈥檚 next for the district.
What Local Public Health Measures Mean For Businesses
As COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to rise in our state, it鈥檚 not only schools that are feeling the impact. Some counties have implemented stricter orders for how businesses can operate. To discuss what these restrictions mean for businesses, we spoke with BizWest鈥檚 Ken Amundson.
Trauma-Informed Yoga Helps Veterans Cope With Physical And Emotional Pains
Deep breathing, gentle stretches and mindfulness. Not necessarily the first things you might think about when it comes to war veterans. But this Veterans Day, we wanted to learn more about a practice called trauma-informed yoga. It鈥檚 a type of yoga developed specifically for people with PTSD and complex trauma 鈥� and it can help veterans cope with emotional, cognitive and physical injuries that are common in the veteran community. To learn more, we spoke with war veteran and trauma-informed yoga instructor Vlad Vasquez.
The Controversy In Your Metadata
Have you heard of geotagging? It鈥檚 when someone posts a photo on social media, and includes the geographical information of where that photo was taken. It鈥檚 a trend that鈥檚 resulted in crowds at some locations, and a backlash. But, as Maggie Mullen reports for the Mountain West News Bureau, the conversation around geotagging is changing.
