What happened

Madison Elementary was assigned a Turnaround plan. Galileo Middle, Mann Middle and Spark Online Academy were assigned Priority Improvement plans. The board held a public hearing on Oct. 7 on these plans.

Why it matters to families

Under Colorado law, schools with low ratings must follow improvement plans, and years of low ratings can lead to state orders. Parents can give input at hearings.

The evidence

The notice lists each school with achievement and growth ratings and its preliminary plan type.
