Good morning. This is Melanie Asmar with Chalkbeat Colorado.
“You can’t know where it will go, but you can be prepared in how you will attack whatever will come.” That was 19-year-old Jack Clark, who spoke to reporter Jason Gonzales at the opening of a new Artificial Intelligence Hub at the University of Colorado Denver. For more on the hub, read today’s top story.
We’ve also got voter guides on ballot measures that would raise taxes to benefit Denver Public Schools and Jeffco Public Schools.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSORS
The case for multimodal learning in today's classroom
Every student brings to the classroom different background knowledge and learning needs. Modern research suggests that multimodal instruction — combining modalities and learning experiences to support access and understanding — can reduce learning barriers, especially for students with disabilities and language-learning needs.
Join us for a conversation focused on what the research shows about how students engage with, interpret, and communicate understanding across different formats and walk away with a practical framework for building multimodal instruction into everyday teaching.
