DENVER â The Denver Public Schools Board of Education met Thursday to discuss the 2021-2022 school calendar, and plans for more in-person learning for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year.
The calendar proposal includes three possible start dates: Aug. 16, 23 or 30.
In a tweet last month, DPS board director Tay Anderson said he s opposed to any start date earlier than Aug. 30 due to a lack of proper ventilation and air conditioning. Fifty-five DPS schools do not have air conditioning.
The calendar proposal offers several heat mitigation strategies, including providing remote learning support for schools without air conditioning, if the semester begins on Aug. 16.
