Harris is running to represent northeast Denver’s District 4 on the school board.

El consejo escolar modificó su norma para agregar una pausa de 4 años en el cierre de escuelas con pocos estudiantes inscritos.

The policy is meant to help balance student enrollment among schools at a time when the district is predicting steep declines.

Barring emergencies, no more Denver schools will be closed for low enrollment until at least 2030.

Although DPS did not win the lawsuit, the district declared “a victory” in the case and said it wouldn’t hesitate to sue again “should circumstances change.”

Se espera que las zonas más afectadas sean la noroeste, sudoeste y central de la ciudad, dice el nuevo Análisis Regional Estratégico del distrito.

Whatley Chapel is currently unusable. The proposed deal would bring the historic building back to life.

The northwest, southwest, and central parts of the city are expected to be hit the hardest, according to the district’s new Strategic Regional Analysis.

The deans argued that DPS created a ‘dangerous situation’ where the shooting was foreseeable and preventable. The district said it’s not legally liable.
