Denver Plan 2020

Great Schools in Every Neighborhood » DPS is increasing the quality of schools available in every neighborhood to ensure every student in every community throughout the district has access to great schools. A Foundation for Success in School » DPS is focused on preparedness in early education -- with an emphasis on early literacy -- as the foundation for students’ entire academic experience. Ready for College and Career » DPS is inspiring, challenging and empowering our students to forge their own futures. We are preparing our students for life after grades K-12, including their readiness for both college and careers. Support for the Whole Child » DPS is leading the nation in its support of the Whole Child -- which means ensuring our students are healthy, supported, engaged, challenged, safe, and socially and emotionally intelligent. Close the Opportunity Gap » DPS is closing the opportunity gap by improving academic achievement for African-American and Latino students while fostering a culture of equity in our schools and on our school-support teams.
