DPS is looking for parents, community members, and teachers to review applications from new district-run and charter schools this April and May. Most years, DPS receives applications from groups and organizations who are passionate about offering new educational opportunities to Denver students, and DPS needs the perspectives of parents, community members, and teachers to determine whether those schools could be high-quality options for students. This year, we anticipate needing just one or two volunteers, but we would also love to add more interested individuals to our list for the future. DPS will provide training and support to participants remotely, and no experience is required. If you are interested in participating, please complete this interest form, and someone from DPS will contact you by FRIDAY, MARCH 26 with more details.
