STATEMENT OF BELIEFS. The Board and the Association share the belief that providing a high quality education for the children of Denver is the paramount objective of the District. Both parties affirm that the educational program should be sensitive to the needs and aspirations of children, regardless of race, color, ethnic background, creed or economic status. This is reflected in the mission statements adopted by the Denver Classroom Teachers Association and the Denver Public Schools. The mission of the Denver Public Schools, the center of Community learning, is to guarantee that our children and youth acquire knowledge, skills, and values to become self-sufficient citizens by providing personalized learning experiences for all students in innovative partnerships with all segments of the Community. Community involvement is critical to the success of our schools. The goals of the District are established by the Board of Education with input from the Community.
