A New Day in DPS!!

The election results are in! I cannot tell you how excited I am to work with our new Board members: Jeanne Kaplan, Andrea Merida, and Nate Easley. All three, along with Arturo Jimenez, have shown a true commitment to listening to our school communities. They will continue to advocate for our students, families, and employees. (yes, this means the unionized teachers/ staff!)

It is very frustrating to watch reform plans that are being discussed in this district with a courtesy information session with the school community. Now the real work begins. Our candidates talked about neighborhood schools, and investing in them. We need to support them in their efforts to get the much needed resources into our schools, and hold them accountable.

It's a new day in DPS, and I know that these candidates will work hard to support our schools by working with teachers and parents so that our students have what they need.

p.s. Yes, get out your broom and dustpan, too.
