At Our Core: Celebrating Cole's Class of 2018
In 2004, DPS Cole Middle School became the first and only school in Colorado to be “Taken Over” by the Colorado Department of Education. Following state law, the Board of Education awarded a contract to a charter school management organization with the hope they could turn things around. But three years later, the CMO ended the contract, handed control of the school back to DPS having not achieved the success it promised.
