Had a power outage at 3:45 am today, which is very unusual for the Heritage Park neighborhood, which is to the East of the old Safeway, off Cherry street.
Even when there are PSPS's, this area doesn't usually have outages.
Anyone else?
Did you know the same guys setting up the cage match at the White House also run Dawson K-12 private school out off 287 in Lafayette? Above is literally a photo of the two ‘owners’ of Dawson school, ringside with Donald Trump at a recent UFC fight. Thought it was a local school with Boulder County values? Think again…
Here are some facts you should know about this local institution, which has about 400 students.
Campbell is the chief business officer and top legal/business executive for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Campbell also is a member of the governing board (Vice Chair and General Counsel) of Dawson School in Lafayette (which has a sister school in Las Vegas, both operate under the Dawson Foundation). The Dawson Fund has $ 290 million in assets and charges nearly $ 40,000 a year for tuition, per student.
– Campbell took $ 374,000 in compensation last year
– George Moore, the principal of the school took $ 502,000 in 2024
– Kimberly Johnston took compensation of $ 742,000. Most private school trustees are volunteers, but Dawson’s leadership is cashing checks like this is a hedge fund instead of a school.
– Unfortunately, most of the teacher salaries are in the 40 - 70k range
OTHER SCANDALS
The school does its best to cover up the last 18 years of scandal during Moore’s time as the local school president. He just retired this month and the Las Vegas, actual ownership team, just hired a new guy, who is expected to be even worse.
One of many recent lawsuits against Dawson puts it pretty well, with “the school’s callous disregard for the safety and well-being of its students—which appears to fit a long-standing pattern of covering up and minimizing sexual assault on its campus and marginalizing the victims of those assaults."
TOO CRAZY TO BE TRUE?
Financials from ProPublica including the 990. Because, remember, this is for a supposedly "non-profit" school.

Yes, Dawson has been mentioned before on Reddit, but the UFC really takes it to the next level, here are some prior posts.
