Denver Public Schools is committed to fostering, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity and inclusiveness.

DPS recognizes that discrimination and harassment can interfere with academic performance, job performance, emotional and physical wellbeing, and access to DPS programs and activities. Thus, preventing and remedying discrimination and harassment are essential to the DPS’s mission. Below is a link to the policies and processes we use to support that effort.

The Denver Public Schools LGBTQ+ Toolkit is a one-stop resource for supporting LGBTQ+ students, families and team members in our district. This is a living document.
This toolkit outlines practices and policies to support LGBTQ+ students, staff and families in Denver Public Schools. These are rooted in State and Federal law as well as input from LGBTQ+ students, best practices, data and research from leading LGBTQ+ organizations such as The Trevor Project, The Gay and Lesbian Student Education Network (GLSEN), and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC).
