A+ Denver joins The Colorado Children’s Campaign and Metro Organizations for People in releasing a new report on DPS performance
The report, titled, Denver’s Public Schools: Reforms, Challenges and the Future, was released June 15, 2009. It is a first of its kind analysis, offering a comprehensive look at how well DPS is performing in educating its students. The three community groups joined forces to produce the report because of a shared concern that unless the public can understand the true state of its public schools, it will be difficult to build the public will for the dramatic reform needed to improve student outcomes.
