"Voting YES on 4A means more student performances, more students graduating from DPS with a credential or certificate in a trade, more students gaining access to the technological skills they need for an increasingly tech-reliant economy, and investments in schools that are responsive to the needs of families and teachers." – Clarence Burton Jr., Denver Families for Public Schools Read all of Clarence's commentary from The Denver Post: https://bit.ly/4ej3Jlr

Still undecided on 4A? The Denver Post Editorial Board has 5 reasons why you should VOTE YES on this critical investment in our community, our children, and the future of Denver: 1. "Technically taxes will not increase" 2. 29 DPS schools have no A/C 3. School safety is a top concern 4. Every school will get funding 5. This is an investment in our future #denverpublicschools #denvervotes

We urge you to vote YES on 4A to ensure students, teachers, and schools have the learning environments they need to thrive for years to come. #denverpublicschools #denvervotes
