El distrito escolar de Adams 14 recibirá más tiempo para continuar su plan de mejoras trabajando con socios administrativos parciales, después de un voto del Consejo Estatal de Colorado la semana pasada.

Los distritos escolares de Colorado inscribieron a mas de 8 mil nuevos estudiantes inmigrantes entre octubre y el 29 de febrero.

Colorado State Board members said they believe growth will speed up in Adams 14 schools.

Outdated zone lines aren't equitable and are limiting the school’s enrollment and course offerings, students say.

DPS hired 64 new international teachers this year, and its goal is to double that number next year.

DPS contrató a 64 maestros internacionales nuevos este año, y su meta es duplicar esa cantidad el próximo año.

Districts enrolled a total of 8,085 newcomer students after the October count and through Feb. 29.

The board picked Gionni Thompson, a longtime administrator who’s worked in other Colorado schools.
