Opinion | We are asking 'the Board of Education members and superintendent to conduct business in accordance with four standards: an unwavering focus on student success; high ethics; loyal community partnership; and character befitting a leader.'
. We pleaded for better community partnership as a bungled school closure effort fueled fear and uncertainty among DPS families. We listened and waited for strategies to close a multi-million dollar budget deficit that was depleting the district’s reserves. It was a tough end to a tough year for DPS.
We resolve to stand by DPS students along with the following business and community organizations: the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce; the Metro Denver Economic Development Council; the Colorado Hispanic Chamber; the Colorado Black Chamber; STAND for Kids; Transform Education Now; FaithBridge; Denver Families; RootED; Lyra Colorado; CLLARO; NAACP Rocky Mountain Region; the Urban League; and the Urban League for Young Professionals.
For 2023 and beyond, this like-minded group asks the Board of Education members and superintendent to conduct business in accordance with four standards: an unwavering focus on student success; high ethics; loyal community partnership; and character befitting a leader. “High ethics” implies transparent business operations within legal bounds and sound financial stewardship of taxpayer dollars. Today, the district is out of compliance in its handling of innovation schools and has no stated plan for a yawning budget gap.
