In recent months, the Telluride School District (TSD) faced funding cuts to literacy and behavioral health services for students. The situation prompted urgent action from the Telluride Education Foundation, which stepped in to provide vital grants aimed at preserving these essential programs. The funding will help ensure that students continue to receive the support they need to thrive academically and emotionally.

The literacy program is designed to enhance reading skills among students, fostering a love for learning and improving academic performance. Meanwhile, the behavioral health services are crucial for addressing the mental well-being of students, particularly in today's challenging environment. These services not only support individual students but also contribute to a healthier school community as a whole.

The grants from the Telluride Education Foundation are a lifeline for TSD, highlighting the importance of community support in maintaining quality education and services. As the district navigates financial challenges, the foundation's commitment to student welfare remains unwavering.
