Bus pick-ups and drop-offs, a new start time and new channels of communication were among the updates Colorado Springs District 11 provided to Jenkins Middle School families Thursday night as they prepare to exit the school next week.
For the second in a series of community meetings, D-11 superintendent Michael Gaal took to the stage of Doherty High School’s auditorium to speak directly to those in attendance, but not without an admission first — that was loud and clear.
“The district has failed the people of Jenkins,” he said. “I am your superintendent. I am ultimately accountable for that failure. Our goal here tonight is to start to begin to regain your trust.”
