– Despite students and parents pushing for the approval of three new charter schools in Denver Public Schools, the board voted to deny the proposals of all three charters on Thursday.
“Black, indigenous, and students of color in Denver deserve a school that affirms and uplifts their identity,” said Branta Lockett, the executive director of the Freedom school.“What we’re providing with Radical Arts Academy is a completely unique model that we definitely haven’t seen in the district or really anywhere else,” said Mario Yuzo Nieto, the chief executive arts director at RAAD. “What we’re pioneering is arts-based learning.
But some believe this is another example of the district not listening to the needs of the community. A recent study conducted by Standard University found that Denver’s charters outperform many traditional schools especially when it comes to serving students of color, and for a district whose population is primarily Black and brown, Martinez said giving parents the option of these charters is critical.
