In 2018, Denver awarded $100,000 to seven schools to test out alternatives forms of academics. The money, given out over a two-year span, is part of a $56.6 million tax increase approved by voters in 2016. The district has put their full support behind this initiative, hoping to find the programs that work best and share them with other schools.
