Family and Community Engagement
Denver Schools Thrive Initiative
Addressing Declining Enrollment with Equity and Empathy
Executive Limitation 18 (EL 18) provides guardrails on how the Superintendent approaches the process to address declining enrollment.
Due to limited resources at schools impacted by low enrollment, not every student has access to the same opportunities. Addressing this challenge ensures that every student thrives, every teacher and leader is supported and our resources are used to create better opportunities for all of Denver’s students.

The services are intended to educate and support families to make connections with resources that restore family stability in order to improve educational outcomes for their children.
