Welcome to
School Turnaround
The mission of the Denver Public Schools’ School Turnaround initiative is to ensure targeted and transparent decision making regarding turnaround interventions in the district’s lowest-performing schools, to support the efficient and effective planning and implementation of the selected strategies in turnaround schools, and to monitor the strategies' effectiveness in improving student academic performance including significantly improving graduation rates.
On December 5, 2011 DPS presented our latest update on School Turnaround to U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, Acting Assistant Secretary Michael Yudin, and over 50 superintendents and district personnel. To view this presentation, click here.
