Moving? Need to find out what the news is saying about education? This may help.
Something I came across while researching how to improve this community board.
If you are moving and want to know what is going on in the education system, something you might want to try is tapping into the local news online (whichever city or state you are moving to). .I was checking out the updates on Denver Colorado's Education System (see below) and realized that not everyone knows to go to the local news for information on that city or state's Education Plan
The board voted to close the Denver Arts and Technology academy.
They chose not to give the same fate to Challenges, Choices and Images (CCI), which had also been mentioned for a possible closure.
Both schools serve just over 1,000 students.
CCI and two other charter schools were placed on strict probation: Life Skills Center of Denver and Skyland Community High School.
Several board members say they are frustrated with the ongoing problems at the schools.
Those problems included unsatisfactory student achievement and no signs of notable improvement. Board members say the schools have chronically underperformed, with CSAP scores below the district average in most subjects.
However, those three schools still had their charters renewed, but on a probationary basis.
Seven other schools also had their charters renewed.
This is a good way to find out! Many news stations have online access, so just click "Education". I find it very informative and factual.
