Dear DPS Community,
I want to thank the community members who welcomed me into conversations during my first six months at DPS to provide their valuable feedback and insight on our schools. I want to now provide a quick update on how we’re taking action on these conversations.
You’ll recall that at the end of my Listening and Learning Tour, I formed a Transition Team, made up of parents, community advocates and experts from across the city and the district. Since the beginning of November, the Transition Team has been working to develop recommendations for the district’s priorities and long-term strategic plan, using the feedback we’ve heard and learned from our community.
The Transition Team is split into three subcommittees, guided by distinguished chairs from the greater Denver community:
Operational Effectiveness, led by Dr. Ron Cabrera
Equity & Excellence, led by Dr. Brenda Allen
Student Experience & Achievement, led by Dr. Maria del Carmen Salazar
I invite you to learn more about the important work the Transition Team is doing to develop our priorities in this video as well as at superintendent.dpsk12.org.
In collaboration,
Dr. Alex Marrero,
Superintendent
