Show Notes
Des Moines Public Schools introduces signature schools, offering specialized programs from preschool to high school, focusing on dual language, Montessori, performing arts, and career-focused STEM, STEAM, and technical education. The plan, however, raises concerns about accessibility and fairness, potentially favoring resourceful parents and discouraging mid-program switches. Construction is underway to support these changes, including middle school maker spaces and high school additions, while the district manages closures and reorganizations. The goal is to boost enrollment and enhance local school pride.
