KEY ACTIVITIES TO SUPPORT THIS WORK INCLUDED INCENTIVES TO DESIGN INNOVATION ZONES AND ZONE-LIKE STRUCTURES AND SELECTING IDEAS FROM APPLICANTS THAT ADVOCATE FOR AUTONOMOUS ZONES AS A CRITICAL TOOL FOR DISTRICTS, SCHOOLS, EDUCATORS, AND COMMUNITIES. THERE ARE CURRENTLY THREE INNOVATION ZONES WITHIN THE DENVER PUBLIC SCHOOLS DISTRICT (DPS), AND WITHIN EACH EXISTING INNOVATION ZONE AN INDEPENDENT 501(C)(3) ENTITY OVERSEES THE SCHOOLS. IN ADDITION, WE SUPPORTED CLIMATE EDUCATION INITIATIVES.
