DPS evaluates school remedies - The Denver Post:
"Denver Public Schools is the first district in Colorado set to deploy stern academic reforms pushed by a White House education-stimulus program to fix the nation's worst schools.
DPS also is the first to feel the heat.
The district is eyeing federally suggested turnaround strategies that could shut down school programs or remove staff and principals at Greenlee and Philips elementary schools and Lake Middle School. It also is scrutinizing the renewals of three low-performing charter schools: P.S. 1 Charter, Northeast Academy and Skyland Community High School.
Recommendations will be made Nov. 9. The board will vote Nov. 30 on changes to schools."
