Apartheid Education is alive & Well: Final Exams Are Taking Place on Only One Side of the DMHS Campus

The Academy@Englewood Program is having Final Exams 

June 17 - 20. No Finals are being given in the North Building.

This means that only one half of the high school is being 

engaged in the academic process these last weeks of school 

before summer vacation. What is up with that? Final exams 

are not a punishment. They may be considered a 

preparation for college. Another thing, what type of 

preparation are today's 10th graders being given to prepare 

for the HSPA?


How do we get it across to these folks that bringing in a 

"best practice" to only one side of the campus is making the

achievement gap much wider? Oh, I forgot, there are some

folks who will welcome a designation of PRIORITY SCHOOL

 on our high school. They are still not getting the point that 

the entire campus is a focus school. They CAN YELL DMAE 

all they want, but DMHS is still a FOCUS SCHOOL and all of 

the teachers, administrators, students and parents are 

impacted by this designation. 


Another thing. now that the "equity and excellence" money is

all gone there are some serious problems in this district. I 

for one, take strong exception to my tax dollar being spent 

on a system of APARTHEID EDUCATION.



APARTHEID EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES MUST BE REJECTED 

IN THE ENGLEWOOD PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT!

STAND AND GIVE EVERYTHING BUT UP!
