Israel pounded Gaza with air strikes into the early hours of Sunday, destroying a tower block that housed news media organisations, while Palestinian militants fired rocket salvoes at Tel Aviv.
After carefully reviewing the published credentials of the three finalists for Superintendent of the Denver Public Schools, we, the Congress of Hispanic Educators, are urging the Denver Public Schools’ Board of Education to reopen and expand the Superintendent search process. We ask that Interim Superintendent Dwight Jones remain the acting superintendent, at least through the end of the 2021-22 school year, until the reopened and expanded search is completed. Our reasons for this request are as follows:
• The Denver Public Schools currently serve over 90,000 students who are linguistically, culturally and economically diverse. None of the three finalists has been a Superintendent of a large urban district. One finalist has been an interim Superintendent of a 10,000 student school district. The other two candidates have not served in the position of Superintendent.
