In alignment with our strategic plan APS 2020: Shaping the Future, several school communities in Original Aurora are developing innovation plans that will create our first Aurora Community-based Transformation, Innovation and Opportunity Network (ACTION) Zone.
Staff members at Aurora Central High School, Aurora West College Preparatory Academy, Boston K-8 and Crawford and Paris elementary schools are working with parents, students and community members to develop their plans. ACTION Zones will provide a systemic way to think about our work differently in support of APS 2020.
We would also like to hear your feedback on this work. We have posted a survey along with frameworks that outline each school plan on our website at
http://aps2020.aurorak12.org/action-zone/
. Later this month, we will add the full plans to this site.
In addition, please join us for a special open house to learn more about our ACTION Zone work at these five schools
. The meeting will be held:
Tuesday, Feb. 16
4:30 p.m. - 5:45 p.m.
Aurora Central High School
11700 E. 11th Ave. Aurora, CO 80010
Implementing ACTION Zones in APS requires collaboration among staff, students, parents, our community, the APS Board of Education and the State Board of Education. Our goal is to present innovation plans to the APS Board of Education in March. If the Board approves the plans, we will likely present them to the State Board of Education this spring.
If approved, the new plans will go into effect for the 2016-17 school year.
