Math and Science Leadership Academy

Channel 9 Story

I am so excited that the DPS staff has recommended our school for approval by the Board of Ed. next week. Our team of teachers has worked hard for the last 9 months to develop a school that reflects the needs of our students today, and in the future. I cannot say enough about Lori Nazaremo as a teacher leader, and the rest of our teachers that contributed and helped to design the model.

Our school will be teacher-led, and focus on math and science with a technology infusion housed at Rishel. We will operate in collaboration with parents and students- allowing all members of our school community to serve as leaders.

We wanted to develop a traditional public school that accepts ALL students, and gives them the tools that they will need to succeed in a 21st century global economy.

DCTA is willing and anxious to take on the challenge of putting our beliefs into practice for kids. We hope that the business community and foundations will embrace us, and be willing to work together so that our students can succeed.

p.s. Thanks to CEA, NEA, and our TURN colleagues for their support, and guidance!
