Abstract: Denver Public Schools has released a new request for proposals (RFP) for new schools, inviting proposals for both charter schools and non-charter schools as part of the Denver New Schools Initiative. Although the district has 19 charter schools operating in the city in 2007-08, this is the first time it has issued an RFP for charters. While the RFP is an "open call" for all types of new schools, the district is designating two areas of urgent priority: improving and expanding the educational offerings to middle years (grades 6 to 8) students and providing a diversified array of educational services and programs to meet the needs of secondary students identified as being "at-risk" of dropping out of school. All applicants should submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) by April 18, 2008 for the "early stage" or June 27, 2008, for the regular cycle. A copy of the RFP package can be found online.
