Welcome back to a new school year! The RootED team has been honored to join back-to-school celebrations across the city. From a campus expansion at Highline Academy Southeast to the brand-new Responsive Arts and STEAM Academy elementary school to a reimagined Montbello High School, we’ve witnessed exciting new beginnings for many DPS educators and families.
These ribbon-cutting ceremonies remind us of the importance of quality learning environments for all DPS students, which is why we’d like to shed light and put our full support behind the very important bond measure that will go to Denver voters this fall. The DPS board approved the $975 million package last week, and RootED is announcing our official endorsement:
RootED Denver proudly endorses the 2024 Denver Public Schools bond measure, recognizing its crucial role in advancing educational excellence across our city. This bond measure is an important investment in our schools, providing much-needed resources for modernizing older buildings, enhancing safety, and updating athletics and arts facilities. The RootED team participated in the district’s Community Planning and Advisory Committee (CPAC), a well-managed, intentional community process that provided the recommendations for approval by the DPS Board of Education, and we have confidence that these investments will be implemented with fidelity. By supporting this measure, we can ensure that all students, regardless of their background, have access to high-quality learning environments and opportunities that empower them to thrive. We encourage the Denver community to vote in favor of this bond measure and join us in championing the future of our students and schools.
