1. Denver Schools Thrive Initiative and Addressing Declining Enrollment in Denver
The Superintendent made his recommendation to address the impact of declining enrollment in our district last week.
Schools recommended for closure:
- Columbian Elementary
- Castro Elementary
- Schmitt Elementary
- International Academy of Denver at Harrington
- Palmer Elementary
- Denver School for Innovation and Sustainable Design
- West Middle
Grade Level Restructures.
Team DPS has made each of the affected schools an individual school webpage that explains the specific rationale for why the school is a part of the Superintendent's recommendation.
The Board of Education will vote on this recommendation on Nov. 21.
If you have questions, I encourage you to visit the Denver Schools Thrive Initiative Web Page.

In DPS, we have more than 200 licensed school psychologists and graduate students supporting student success through both big-picture efforts and one-on-one services.
