In partnership with members of the business, education and foundation communities, Piton formed Citizen for Quality Schools (CQS) to advocate for the decentralization of Denver Public Schools as a way to improve student achievement and increase the decision-making authority of parents, teachers and taxpayers at their local schools.</p><p>To continue empowering families by providing a range of high-quality school options, Piton led the fundraising efforts to renovate a vacant Denver Public Schools building so that it could be transformed into Denver's first charter school, Wyatt-Edison. In addition, the Gary-Williams Energy Company was the single largest donor, contributing about $1 million to renovations on Wyatt-Edison's campus.</p><p>Piton reframed its work in reforming public education by pursuing three strategies including the creation of charter schools, encouraging district-level support of creating new schools, and driving state policy that provides direction and protection for school reform.</p>", | |
