Take Action

The DPS vision, Every Student Succeeds, is threatened by persistent achievement gaps between students of color and their white peers. DPS’s best efforts to close these gaps have resulted in only incremental improvements, and if current trends continue, our black and brown students will not meet grade level expectations until late in the 21st century. We believe it is time to challenge the status quo and bring real positive change to our schools and classrooms. Read our call to action, which presents a roadmap for reinventing education, and challenges district leaders everywhere to exercise the bold, courageous leadership that will be necessary to realize radical change.
