That premise is one of the reasons Greenwood Village and surrounding areas have education entities that are nationally ranked. In addition to many premier K-12 there are two absolutely unparalleled school districts that serve our City. One of those school CCSD Superintendent Dr. Scott Siegfried Public Works Director Jeremy Hanak districts, Cherry Creek School District, just announced a new superintendent, Dr. Scott Siegfried. He will succeed Dr. Harry C. Bull Jr. Both of these men have earned significant status in the pantheon of past and present school superintendents in our area. I will miss the tremendous support I received from Dr. Bull, but anticipate a continued close relationship between Greenwood Village and the Cherry Creek School District under the leadership of Dr. Siegfried. Dr. Siegfried currently serves as CCSD deputy superintendent. He is a veteran of the Cherry Creek School District, having served in roles as teacher and administrator for more than 20 years. Dr. Siegfried began his first student teaching post at Eaglecrest High School in 1995 and went on to build a district résumé that includes posts as a full time teacher at Eaglecrest and a dean of students at Laredo Middle School. He helped open Falcon Creek Middle School as assistant principal and Liberty Middle School as principal. At the district level, he’s served as Executive Director of Student PG. 2 GV NEWSLETTER | MAY 2018

VILLAGE REMOVED FROM RTD DISTRICT G Historically, Greenwood Village has been divided into three Regional Transportation Districts (RTD) Districts, E – Dr. Claudia Folska, PhD, east of I-25; G – Ken Mihalik, generally south of Arapahoe Road and the Arapahoe Light Rail Station; and H – Doug Tisdale, west of I-25. Because County Election Precinct 234 was split between District E and G in April, the Board of Directors of RTD opted to further balance the population of the two districts. District G, covering Parker, Lone Tree, part of Centennial and some unincorporated portions of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, had its boundary adjusted by moving the boundary of District E to cover the portion of District G in Precinct 234, thereby removing all of Greenwood Village from District G. Henceforth Greenwood Village will have only two Districts, E & H.
