Amazing after years of work & so much debate RE school ratings that this is the package of big changes. Big plus CO still has quality ratings even if system could be far better Stand for Children Colorado Children's Campaign Colorado Succeeds Colorado Association of School Executives chalkbeat.org/colorado/2025/…

Total waste of money, wrecks the building and does nothing to change the safety of students or staff. Denver Public Schools needs to focus on real safety measures chalkbeat.org/colorado/2025/…

While glad to see advocacy for NAEP from strong school choice advocates, it seems it is falling on deaf ears. If NAEP does fall apart, it will take years to rebuild. We will be blind which seems to be this administration's goal the74million.org/article/an-ope…

Great story on why Colorado should take a close look at whether the state should consider changing how many days and instructional time for students in school Keystone Policy Ctr

Glad to see NCTQ reviews of teacher prep on math though wonder if a better means of determining amount & quality of math instruction chalkbeat.org/colorado/2025/…

Totally depressing that NAEP is at risk, we will be blind without it (and know some on far right and left) would like us to be blind on education quality

Great news- some CO programs teaching math and outrageous that some appear not to and don't provide counter evidence University of Northern Colorado MSU Denver chalkbeat.org/colorado/2025/…

Congrats DPS! Thank White kids & DSST for carrying DPS to Green. Low Income kids worse then CO and learning less compared to similar kids. Let's disaggregate data. Yes celebrate but be honest Denver Public Schools Chalkbeat Colorado BoardhawkCO Jenny Brundin Transform Education Now

Let's make Denver School Board elections more democratic & less influenced by dark money (teacher unions and charter interests). Maybe candidates can be more honest about problems/solutions instead of platitudes about students. We have a crisis! denverpost.com/2025/09/09/den…
