We wanted to highlight an important opportunity to share your voice with the Colorado Legislature. House Bill 1295 has just been introduced to the State Capitol. If passed, this bill would prevent public charter schools from making future appeals to the State Board of Education by making it virtually impossible to challenge district decisions made against them. 

Does this sound familiar? In fact, this bill was created in direct response to DSST’s successful State Board of Education appeal of the DPS School Board’s denial to open Noel HS (Elevate Northeast High School). If we weren’t able to appeal the delay of the opening of DSST: Elevate Northeast, the Bulldogs would not be heading off to high school together next year. 

We all strive to make education decisions based on the best interest of our students, however this legislation would fundamentally undermine that. Click here to learn more about the bill and voice your opposition. Our students are counting on you!
