Denver Schools Protest Arizona Immigration Law

DENVER (AP) ― Denver Public Schools officials say they are banning work-related travel to Arizona so employees are not scrutinized under a law requiring officers to ask people about their immigration status.

DPS spokesman Kristy Armstrong says school employees are in the country legally but officials don't want them to be "subjected to that kind of scrutiny and search." The Arizona law signed last week by Gov. Jan Brewer requires authorities to question people suspected of being in the country illegally.

The law goes into effect this summer.

DPS Superintendent Tom Boasberg and board of education members are expected to announce the travel band Thursday afternoon.

Do you approve of Denver Public School’s boycott of Arizona because of the controversial immigration law ?

74 percent NO.

24 percent yes.

Denver School of Science and Technology (DSST) made the President’s cut, narrowing down the list of high schools to three that Obama will pick from for attending commencement exercises, including DSST. In light of the Denver Public School’s actions against the State of Arizona, I wish we would have voted on this to prevent DSST from making the cut.

Race to the Top High School Commencement Challenge

The results are in! Thanks to your help we’ve narrowed it down to the top three finalists in the Race to the Top Commencement Challenge. The race was neck and neck all the way to the end with all six schools within half a point of each other. In no particular order:

Clark Montessori Jr. & Sr. High School in Cincinnati, OH
Kalamazoo Central High School in Kalamazoo, MI
Denver School of Science and Technology in Denver, CO

Thank you to the more than 170,00 people who weighed in and rated the six finalist schools. All six final high schools exemplify dedication to academic excellence and preparing students to help meet the President’s 2020 goal of having the highest proportion of college graduates in the world.

President Obama will now choose which school to visit and deliver the commencement address at later this spring. Be sure to check back next Tuesday, May 4 to find out who wins!

Look at their protest signs; do you see who sponsored the signs? SEIU
