🛝This coming school year, students at DCIS at Fairmont will have the district's first fully #ADAaccessible playground that ALL students can enjoy! ✨What started as a dream has become a reality thanks to the leadership from these amazing students, who were involved and persistent every step of the way in creating a more equitable community for their peers.💙 Construction of this project is made possible thanks to #Denver voters, and the passing of the 2020 bond. 🙌 🔗More info- ourwordourbonddps.org #playforall #inclusiveplay #recess

🚧Who decides what construction and maintenance projects go into a bond proposal? Meet the Community Planning and Advisory Committee (CPAC)! This dedicated group has been hard at work evaluating the needs of schools across our district. They’ve worked together to prioritize essential recommendations for funding air conditioning, building maintenance, safety, technology, and more. Their work will soon be presented to the Board of Education, and with approval, the 2024 Bond Package Proposal will be on the Nov. 2024 ballot for #Denver voters. Watch to dive into the incredible efforts of this volunteer-led, community-centric process! 🏫🔧🗳️#bond #vote #education 🔗 More at ourwordourbonddps.org
