School Board Forum, Director At Large

Thank you for taking time to be here! Denver's kids need you.

I see a future in Denver where every parent and child has the chance to proudly choose to attend the school in their neighborhood and Denver can again walk to school with the confidence that the doors of opportunity are open to everyone.

 

“We believe that Roger will be a steadying member of the Board, utilizing good judgment on complicated issues and employing a commitment of excellence,” says Justin Knoll, president of the REALTORS® Association. Knoll says Kilgore’s background in business is something that is needed on the Board and that “his dedication to improving Denver Public Schools seems genuine and refreshing.”      – The Unified Association of REALTORS®

 

My vision is that every student can learn and that all students in the Denver public schools should have the opportunity to graduate from high school prepared for success as full participants in our community. For each student to be successful we need excellent early childhood education to prepare for elementary school, excellent elementary schools to prepare for middle school, and excellent middle schools to prepare for excellent high schools. We need great schools in each of Denver's neighborhoods (not just in some places).

My focus on the Board of Education will be to provide:

  • great schools in every neighborhood,

     

  • data-informed accountability for the district leadership, principals, and teachers, and

     

  • a culture of excellence, trust, respect, and collaboration.

I have an ACTION PLAN so that together we can achieve this vision. My plan includes a set of GUIDING PRINCIPLES and explains why I AM IDEALLY SUITED, with my board colleagues and the Superintendent, to implement this plan.

I ask for your support. Please click on CONTRIBUTE and VOLUNTEER. Together we can make every neighborhood school the school of choice!
