Colorado Public Radio: Maureen Welch has two children in Cherry Creek schools. As a former teacher, she likes to know what’s going on.

“I guess I’m kind of a meeting nerd. I like to go to a lot of meetings,” she laughed.

Rain or shine, she goes in person to the monthly school board meeting.

“I’m always interested in learning more about policy, curriculum, budgets.”

And not just the formal board meetings, she likes the study sessions. That’s where board members hash out policy. (Confession, I do too.)
