CARON BLANKE

Candidate for Denver Public Schools Board of Education, District 3

I'm running for the DPS school board because I believe every student deserves the opportunity to thrive in a school system that is equitable, inclusive, and responsive to their needs. That kind of a school system requires leaders like me who will provide competent board oversight and hold leadership accountable. I am a courageous leader who will boldly advocate for change and push for stronger schools.

I believe that authentic relationships, community voice, and trust are foundational to effective school and district leadership. As a school board member, I will advocate for thoughtful, innovative policies that put students first, support educators, and strengthen our public education system.

Our Reality

Our democracy and our students face real dangers: cuts to health insurance and food aid, rising gun violence in schools, attacks on LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights, bizarre rules imposed by the federal government on truthful history teaching, and enrollment drops that threaten school closures. Denver needs a school board that will restore strong oversight and hold district leaders accountable for protecting every child and teacher. In this fragile moment, we must ensure every DPS student graduates safe, supported and ready to thrive.

Let’s build a future where every child feels seen, supported, and empowered to succeed.
