“What I came away with last week was a very strong sense that the kids had been marooned up there. They're in a place where opportunities continue to shrink and were going to continue to shrink and that creates a frame of reference for what it is possible to achieve. It begins to lower the standards of expectation for your life.”
“It shouldn't take this to be able to have the conversation we're having. What you have in front of you is a confession on the part of this district that we can't provide an education at that school for the kids that are there today.”
“We are excited about the opportunities the Toyota Family Literacy Program will bring to Denver. Strengthening the literacy skills of the entire family is bound to produce results among our students. The additional resources provided to make this program available are much appreciated as is the network of educational, nonprofit and corporate organizations that makes this possible.”
