GOAL High School opens administration center after $9.5M renovation
GOAL High School , a Pueblo-based online public charter school with more than 40 drop-in locations across Colorado, recently opened its new administration center following a $9.5 million renovation of two buildings on one campus. On Oct. 27, the school celebrated the grand opening of the new center, which serves as a statewide support hub for school operations, with around 60 employees working there. GOAL High School CEO Jill Toussaint said the new building "represents so much more than a new space." "It represents the people, the perseverance, and the belief in our mission that have brought us to where we are today,” she said in a news release. GOAL High School Board President Ted Del Duca said it provides a foundation for the school’s future. “We needed this foundation to build to where we’re going to go. We just keep growing,” he said in the release. “I always get asked, ‘Well, how big does it need to be?’ Well, we don’t know how high it will go. We’re just going to help kids, and this building helps us do that more effectively.” Sports: Meet the 2026 Greater Pueblo Sports Association Hall of Fame inductees The two buildings on the

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

In split vote, Denver school board approves closure of Robert F. Smith STEAM Academy

Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Robert F. 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
