DPS adopted a Black Excellence Resolution in 2019 to"improve Black students' academic achievement" and create an environment where they can"thrive." designed to improve the educational experience and outcomes for Black students in DPS.
The outraged responses from talking heads like Kelly just comes with the territory, Juniel says:"The work has been made toxic because it's been politicized." Still, reports have emerged over the years since the BER was adopted that DPS students are still experiencing microaggressions and incidents that make them feel uncomfortable, along with being underrepresented in honors and AP classes at certain schools.shows that the four-year graduation rate for Black students enrolled in DPS schools was 73.4 percent for the 2021-2022 school year; the rate for white students was 86.4 percent. The dropout rate for Black DPS students during that period was 4.
"There should be no reason why we are celebrating the achievement of Black students by moving up on the scale 3 to 5 percent," he tells."Black students should learn at the same proficiency levels as their white counterparts. We have not forced the system to really change. But also, we have to stop acting in a deficit mindset that people should feel bad for Black children because of the struggles of our ancestors.
One particular problem that Anderson believes doesn't get talked about enough is lumping the struggles of Black students into the"same pot as all students of color." Colorado's education system and DPS, specifically, has grown"comfortable" and"okay" with doing this, he says. "When we put Black kids into that same pot, Black students go to the bottom and are never looked at," Anderson charges."And that is just not something that I can continue to endorse. You can't just keep throwing Black students into that all- students-of-color pot. Our experiences are different, our needs are different. When you throw Black students into that pot, you lose them, because they just go down to the bottom.
