Main Points of the Article
"Our immediate ask is for your voice in the form of public support for our district and its students,"

"We now face spending tens of thousands of our scarce dollars to protect our federal funding in what is, undoubtedly, a proxy fight in defense of Colorado law,"

"We cannot do this alone."

"This issue is not unique to Jeffco. It is an attack on Colorado's Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA),"

"It's impossible for me to put a price tag on protecting the dignity and humanity of our students,"

"We will not violate Colorado law, and we will not abandon our obligations to any student in this district,"
Best Wishes Always
