District 70 has a new system of busing for the 2010- 2011 school year. The district sold all of its buses to a company that is now taking care of all the busing in District 70. The new buses now say “First Student” instead of the traditional District 70 title. This is because the district has hired a private company called First Student out of Colorado Springs to help eliminate the busing costs that it faced before the switch was made. The recent budget cuts caused District 70 to change various parts of the budget including busing.

New Week Results Remain Unclear
The four day school week started on August 16, when the first freshmen walked through Pueblo West High’s doors. It all started back in 2009 with a simple suggestion that would later result in the four day week and much controversy. Parents and their kids have been told that this new week will make it easier for students, especially student athletes, with their workload. Although it may be too early to see what kind of results the new week yields, sophomore Sarah Coy said, “I personally like the four-day week. It rocks my socks off because even though the days are longer you can’t even tell. I like it. I like it a lot.” So far it seems many students have nothing but good things to say. Ana Rios, a sophomore this year as well, commented on the week by saying, “It really helped me get organized.
