9NEWS: If Denver is your home, why are you leaving?
Cordova: To have been able to rise up to the position of superintendent would ve been unthinkable to me as a kid growing in DPS.
Denver has changed a lot, but I think of the things that really haven t changed about Denver is it s a big city, but in so many ways a small town.
I m at my 31st year in the Denver Public Schools and have loved really almost every minute of the time that I ve been in DPS. I m so excited with a lot of mixed emotions about leaving because I ve really admired the superintendent in Dallas for a long time.
