Douglas County, CO, we’re worried about you.

We have many friends in Colorado. Douglas County, a very conservative part of the state, keeps coming up in terms of propagating the worst corporatized education reforms have to offer.
We have a document here from the District that discusses Reinventing American Education based on the CCSS and something called the ATCS2. Any help out there on that?
In addition to the rather strange pencil drawings of faceless students, we read a great deal about 21st century this or that. Judging by the design and presentation of this document, in its quaint pencil style, we may not quite be there yet.
Is this some kind of marketing tool or proposal? Douglas County seems to be making the hard sell here that, after a “fairly thorough environmental scan” (whatever that means), they are the most well-behaved and compliant district around.
