Denver, CO (1888PressRelease) June 27, 2013 - The Denver Public Schools (DPS) Foundation was established in 1992 in recognition of the fact that public funds alone cannot adequately support the ambitious efforts to advance student achievement in Denver Public Schools. In partnership with Denver Public Schools, DPSF raises and manages funds, makes strategic program investments, and serves as community leaders so that all students have the opportunity to succeed. The DPS Foundation directed nearly $10 million to Denver Public Schools for priority programs and critical needs last year.

On his appointment, Mr. Whalen commented, "This is a great chance to work with some really talented community leaders and education policy makers to transform DPS into the best public school system in America."
