Denver Public Schools board member Tay Anderson didn’t even make it to the start of the first day of classes in the 2022-2023 school year before creating a new controversy – he was ticketed for speeding outside Montbello High School on his way to welcome students on their first day of school.

Credit to Tay – the guy knows how to stick to his messaging. Instead of accepting blame for speeding and quietly paying the $285 ticket, his statement to media focused on police brutality and criticism of the police for “being visible outside the school building on the first day of school.”

Longtime University of Colorado Boulder Associate Athletic Director and Sports Information Director (SID) David Plati announced he will transition to SID-Emeritus and Program Historian effective January 1. Plati has been with CU Boulder for 40 years.
