PLN 4-2

I have recently finished reading an article posted by the Denver Post titled DPS plans to shutter 8 schools. In this article, it talks about how the Denver Public School Officials are planning to close down 8 denver public schools. They are doing this for two reasons. One is to save money and the other is to give more money to other schools. The proposal would also change 5 denver public schools programs and will give the saved money to them to create a better learning environment. They will also provide money to the schools to expand and enroll children from kindergarden to eighth grade or preschool to eighth grade. I think that this is a good idea because enrollment is low in many denver public schools (it is only using 70% of its space), and giving more money to improve the schools will hopefully attract more people and will allow more students a better education. Education is very important for people and having a good education is a top priority. My public school has many opportunities for me to succeed and not giving that chance to as many people as possible, wouldn't be fair.
