RootED works to unite groups that have held opposing viewpoints to advance a shared vision of equity and opportunity for all Denver Public Schools students. We empower and partner with the communities most impacted by educational inequity. And we partner with Denver Public Schools to advance equity system wide.
Because they have the flexibility to respond and adapt quickly to meet community needs, autonomous schools can be an effective strategy to address equity and opportunity gaps and improve the quality of public K-12 education.
RootED is a partner to community-based organizations, facilitating connections and collaboration and supporting their work through funding, strategy, and sharing of information and resources in support of equity, quality, opportunity, accountability and autonomy in Denver Public Schools.
Our goal is to advance equity and quality in Denver’s public education system. We do that by supporting a thriving autonomous school sector that places communities at the center.
