In his new book, "Family Reigns: The Extraordinary Rise and Epic Fall of an American Dynasty," Busch offers a firsthand account of the renowned beer family's history, from its inception to its remarkable growth. “Later on in life, I started realizing that I kind of grew up in a unique situation,” said Busch. “I started looking into who my great grandfather was, how he got started here, how my grandfather took the company through prohibition.” Busch's unique upbringing within the Anheuser-Busch empire provided him with a perspective few could comprehend. Amidst the bustling business world, his parents, busy building the brewery, were rarely around. “My parents were so busy working and building the brewery, my mom was right at my dad's side the whole time.

Colorado backtracks on full-time preschool for 11,000 kids with risk factors

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 21:33:42 GMT

Nikki Spasova expected her 4-year-old son to get free full-day classes through the state’s new universal preschool program since he’s still learning English.But just two weeks before Kristian was set to start preschool, Spasova learned that wasn’t the case. Instead, the state program will cover just 15 hours of preschool, the same hours offered to Colorado children who don’t face barriers to success in school.Colorado’s universal preschool plan called for children like Kristian to get up to 30 hours a week at no cost to their families, provided there was enough money. It turns out there isn’t.In the final weeks before school starts, that shortfall triggered a provision in state law that tightened eligibility requirements so that only children who are low-income and have a second risk factor will receive full-day classes.Instead of half of 4-year-olds being offered free full-time preschool, just 13% will.Some of the affected children are learning English, like Kristian. Many more are...
