\t\t\t\t\"all<\/a>In a recent report<\/a>, it was mentioned that Stapleton may need more seats, which would be accommodated by adding more space to existing schools, or quite possibly, building another new school. \u201cI know it seems like we keep building schools in Stapleton,\u201d said DPS Board Member Amber Jones. \u201cBut, people out there keep having kids. So, they have to go to school somewhere.\u201d\n\nJones said the conversation began by simply discussing the shortfall in seats based on the number of kids coming through the system. \u201cWe began by simply looking at the numbers and trying to understand whether or not the existing school system out there would be enough. We quickly realized it would not.\u201d After debating about how many schools would be needed, the discussion took a more drastic turn. \u201cSome people asked the question, \u2018could we move all Denver Public Schools to Stapleton?\u2019 It was an interesting question, so we really started looking at what that would take, and what it would look like.\u201d\nJones says that the Stapleton schools are performing much better than many other Denver Public Schools, so maybe the Stapleton location is the key. \u201cWe understand that this is a big project to tackle, so we are going to move slow and do it right,\u201d said Jones. \u201cThere are roughly 90 Denver Elementary schools, so we would need to streamline that a bit. Plus, 50 high schools, so we would have to work on that number as well.\u201d Jones says that school officials believe the move will make the most sense, and there are very few future implications of having all public schools located in one small area of the city. \u201cYou know, it seems to be working,\u201d said Jones. \u201cA lot of times you need to go with what works.\u201d DPS says they expect to have a consolidation plan laid out by late summer, and all schools will be migrated to Stapleton by Fall of 2024.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
