Los programas de alimentos mejoran la asistencia, resultando mejores calificaciones y salud para los alumnos.

En la primavera de 2022, cuatro escuelas participaron en las evaluaciones de dislexia. De 485 alumnos el 25% fueron identificados en tener un retraso en el reconocimiento fonol\u00f3gico. En este a\u00f1o escolar, cinco escuelas m\u00e1s est\u00e1n participando en la evaluaci\u00f3n de alumnos.

La programaci\u00f3n de enrolamiento concurrente garantiza que m\u00e1s de la mitad de los graduandos lo hagan con cr\u00e9ditos de la universidad; el 95% de estos alumnos obtienen un t\u00edtulo universitario. Estos programas se enfocan en el desarrollo de sus carreras mientras aprenden acerca y por medio de las experiencias laborales, tales como las pr\u00e1cticas. En el DPS, el programa sirve a poblaciones diversas, alumnos pluriling\u00fces, alumnos en educaci\u00f3n especial y alumnos superdotados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>La recomendaci\u00f3n del liderazgo de DPS en cuanto a la preparatoria t\u00e9cnica y de carreras de Montbello (MCT)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El superintendente, Dr. Marrero, hizo recomendaci\u00f3n de no cerrar el MCT despu\u00e9s de haber visitado a la escuela y el escuchar historias por parte del personal, alumnos y comunidad.

La junta directiva revis\u00f3 y discuti\u00f3 las actualizaciones en la pol\u00edtica 1.4 con referencia a la seguridad y salud. Esto fue adoptado en noviembre del 2021 y espec\u00edficamente se refiere a los retos relacionados con el COVID. Los miembros de la junta directiva discutieron la violencia con el uso de armas de fuego y disciplina, llamando la atenci\u00f3n al tener conciencia en el lenguaje de la pol\u00edtica para abordar espec\u00edficamente el impacto en ni\u00f1os de color. El personal del distrito llam\u00f3 la atenci\u00f3n a la limitaci\u00f3n ejecutiva 10 el cual se enfoca alrededor de la disciplina escolar y la vigilancia policial escolar. La salud mental y otras enfermedades tambi\u00e9n fueron consideradas durante la discusi\u00f3n. La junta directiva discuti\u00f3 la posibilidad de combinar 1.4 y 1.3, el cual se refiere al bienestar. Finalmente, la junta directiva discuti\u00f3 su sociedad con el departamento de polic\u00eda de Denver (DPD, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s), agencias de salud y organizaciones sin fines de lucro para poder colaborar con ellos e informarles a las familias de los servicios disponibles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-participe-con-la-junta-directiva\"><strong>PARTICIPE CON LA JUNTA DIRECTIVA<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00bfQuiere que la junta directiva sepa sus pensamientos en cualquiera de estos temas?
