A new study makes the bold claim that the wide-ranging education reforms embraced by Denver Public Schools were among the most effective in U.S. history at boosting student learning.

Without the reforms, the rate would have remained below 60%, the study says. Prosperity Denver Fund is committed to increasing graduation rates by supporting organizations that encourage and promote postsecondary education for Denver students! https://buff.ly/3BvMwYa

The NYU Furman Center's Local Housing Solutions just released a new case study on how Davis, CA developed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to address increasing student demand for rental housing.
