This was the case for Geoff Ashby.
Ashby is father to three Lewis-Palmer School District 38 students. His children attend Prairie Winds Elementary School and are between kindergarten and grade 3. He moved his family to Monument after retiring from the U.S. Air Force with a desire for the children to be educated in the D-38 system.
His full-time job is as a pilot for United Airlines, out of Denver. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, he actively volunteered his time to help teachers at Prairie Winds. After the school reopened following the initial round of lockdown, parents and teachers were meeting face-to-face only online and possibly in the student drop-off line and temperature checks at the school, Ashby said.
MONUMENT • The future of the Grace Best Education Center facility was the topic of discussion during the Lewis-Palmer School District 38 Board of Education’s latest workshop.
