Efforts to discourage families in far northeast Denver from filling out choice applications as a way to protest turnaround plans seem to have been ineffective, as 92 percent of families with students entering middle or high schools made new school selections.
The choice application form allowed Denver Public Schools students entering sixth or ninth grade next year to pick a new school that will open as part of the turnaround plan approved in November. Of 1,500 forms that were turned in, 85 percent had one of the new schools in far northeast Denver as the first choice.
