Smith STEAM Academy will close at the end of the school year after the Denver school board voted 4-2 Thursday to shutter it. The high school, which was modeled on historically Black colleges and universities, has just 24 students this year . Board Vice President Monica Hunter and member John Youngquist voted no. Hunter, a former Denver teacher who works for the statewide teachers union, asked about pausing the vote until an agreement granting concessions to teachers at the school could be finalized. Superintendent Alex Marrero said the school district was done negotiating. He said the two sides verbally agreed on a $1,000 payment to the teachers, plus protections for international teachers with work visas. Marrero said the district rejected other requests. Hunter said those included giving non-tenured teachers two paid days off to interview for other jobs. “The rationale is this is precedent setting,” Marrero said, “and potentially we have some more (school) consolidations coming, and it would not behoove us

Most of the efforts for public schools to get in on a new federal tax credit have been macro: Public education boosters are creating organizations to grant scholarships for tutoring or SAT prep across an entire school district, state, or region of the country. But a new effort in Denver is micro. Here, parents are launching an organization to grant scholarships at just three public schools: East High, Morey Middle, and McAuliffe International. “The general concept is as a parent, if I’m going to give a donation, I’d like to see it impact my neighborhood school,” said East High parent Greg Graeber. This type of experimentation and parental choice is allowed under the federal tax credit program, a major school choice expansion that’s projected to raise billions of dollars for private school tuition and other educational expenses. The program works like this: Taxpayers will receive a federal tax credit of up to $1,700 if they donate to a scholarship-granting organization. Those organizations then give
