150 of Colorado's 178 school districts does not have a single Black teacher.
When Kyra Solomon, who just finished her first year of teaching, moved to Colorado, she noticed there weren’t many Black teachers.
But a new initiative between the Sachs Foundation, which provides scholarship programs for Black Coloradans, and Teach for America Colorado is aiming to “build a community of Black educators” by supplementing their salaries for at least the first three years of their career and providing other support, according to an announcement by the organizations.
Solomon, who moved to Denver from Atlanta, Georgia to teach, is one of the first educators to participate in the program, which starts this summer. The first cohort in the program is comprised of 14 teachers.
