announced this week it will close the district’s only online elementary school at the end of the academic year, as officials say it’s time to end a temporary program created in response to the pandemic.
“The school was a pandemic-era program that was only set up to run temporarily during those difficult times,” DPS spokeswoman Rachel Childress said in an email Tuesday. “The closure is not related to a financial reason.” DPS officials on Tuesday could not provide data on how much Denver Online Elementary costs to operate the school and directed The Denver Post to file a request for that information under the Colorado Open Records Act.
The online school opened in the fall of 2021 and the district decided to continue it or at least another year because of uncertainty about the pandemic’s trajectory, Cedillo said.
