Hear directly from Kelly Brough and Michael Johnston about how they would seek to work with Denver Public Schools during a critical juncture for the district and the community.
What role can the mayor play in building strong public schools? How can the city and the school district work together to solve the pressing problems facing our youth? Can the mayor build effective partnerships and hold other elected officials accountable?
