Five criteria were determined to best provide the student demographics related to Hard to Serve schools. These criteria were equally applied to ascertain the final list: 1) percentage of students receiving free or reduced lunch; 2) percentage of students enrolled in special education center programs; 3) percentage of students identified as second language learners; 4) percentage of students eligible for Medicaid; 5) City and County of Denver data associating students with their home neighborhood demographic information.

Hard to Staff Assignments

Six assignments have been identified as Hard to Staff for the 2006-2007 school year:

Several sources of data were used to determine the Hard to Staff positions:1)national data on the supply of licensed professionals produced by degree granting institutions; 2) DPS data on the ratio of qualified teachers to total teachers in specific assignment areas and to the number of qualified teachers in the overall DPS work force; 3) DPS data on the ratio of teachers with less than one year of experience to total teachers in a specific assignment area and 4) DPS data on the vacancy rate of Special Education and Student Service providers.
