After DPS Superintendent Dr. Alex Marrero spoke with Denver7 about why they're consolidating and/or closing 10 Denver schools, two Columbian Elementary parents reached out to Denver7. This is what they had to say in response to his remarks. EdColo
Editor's note: After receiving Stephen Suranowitz's opinion, Denver7 invited him and other parents to speak on what Columbian Elementary means to them and what the proposal from DPS to consolidate their school would mean for their families. The video above includes an additional opinion from Darcy Cornish Lovato.
I am a proud parent of two students at Columbian Elementary, who are flourishing there, and an active community member. What Dr. Marrero speaks of is contradictory to what DPS is proposing with these school closures. You want our children to have a well-rounded education, then don't cram 200+ more kids into another school, causing overcrowding and less one-on-one learning.
You say ask the right questions, but we are, how about give us some real answers other than budget BS and saying this will be a positive thing when you know it won't be. Denver rakes in millions and millions of dollars, tax-payer dollars, on everything. Just the money from dispensaries alone brings in millions of dollars per year. And you're telling us that Denver can't afford $200k to keep an amazing and unique school like Columbian open?!
My two sons alone always tell me how much they love going to school. They love music, art, theater, going to the art-filled field trips that our amazing principal has secured in our curriculum. They never complain about getting up and going because they love going to school! We know so many of the other parents and children, we are a family at Columbian.
