THIS IS THE WAY: How Denver schools improved: Choice, accountability.

But:

A union-backed school board majority is “dismantling” Denver’s success story, write Parker Baxter, who headed the UCD study, and education writer Alan Gottlieb in Education Next. The school board offers “vague platitudes about prioritizing traditional district-managed schools and focusing on equity,” they write. “Yet there’s no evidence that traditional neighborhood schools in this city have ever provided anything close to an equitable education for all of Denver’s kids.”

No success will go unpunished.
