The children/students of DPS employees deserve to have priority in school choice.
DPS’s School Choice Office is not doing right by their employees or the children/students of district employees. Unless you are an employee of the specific school, children of DPS employees do not fall in any priority category for school choice. Students of DPS employees fall in the same category as all other students.
This is how DPS decides where students go to school ( aka School Choice): Denver schools set their own admissions priorities, so where your child will rank depends on the school you select. Each child is assigned a lottery number between 1 and 1 million. An algorithm then puts the kids in lottery number order, within their priority group. Schools will go through the top priority group (i.e. students with siblings in the school, parents who work in the same school) before moving into the next group, regardless of what lottery number students receive. Students who don’t get into their top choices can go on a waitlist but will start out at a less-preferred school.
