A new report shows schools within Denver Public Schools (DPS) are segregated by race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status and language, despite decades of efforts to integrate schools.

Marrero said the report validates what he sees on school visits. He wants a solution in place as soon as next summer.

The LEC, which commissioned the study, wants to work with the district to find out why the schools there have become more segregated since court-ordered busing ended in 1995.

The Latino Education Coalition found segregation was pervasive within Colorado's largest school district and will do another study to look at the root causes.

The Latino Education Coalition (LEC) said it wants an investigation after two Denver Public Schools Board of Education redistricting map scenarios were introduced.

Denver Public Schools must redraw the boundaries of its school board districts to balance uneven population growth. But community groups have concerns.

Colorado social studies standards will shape LGBTQ inclusion, racial and ethnic representation, and how history lessons are framed.

As of this morning, more than 1.7 million ballots were returned in Colorado, according to data from the Colorado Secretary of State’s website. Most of those ballots came from unaffiliated voters, followed by Democrats and Republican voters. Yet, participation is lagging even further behind previous years.

Colorado’s newly formed 8th district has more Latino voters than any other district in the state. And even though both Republicans and Democrats are hoping to get their votes, the Latino community isn’t a political monolith.
