PRESS CONFERENCE MONDAY 10/21: We need you to show up now more than ever & show support for our neighborhood schools! 🗣️✊🏽 We'll be having a community press conference on school closures next Monday @ 3:45 pm outside of the DPS building/ Emily Griffith before the board meeting.

“School closures should always be the last resort, and even then, there should be some form of decision-making power that lies in the hands of students and families which stand to be most affected by closures.” - Elsa Bañuelos, Executive Director of Movimiento Poder

We've been to most of DPS' regional engagement meetings on school closures. Let us be clear: there is no community engagement at these meetings. DPS must halt this rushed process immediately and listen to what DPS student and families truly need. cbsnews.com/colorado/news/…

DPS is planning on closing our neighborhood public schools. We will not stand for that. Schools are at the heart of our community. We need your help more than ever to keep our neighborhood schools alive. Click here to send your board members an email: actionnetwork.org/letters/dps-do…
