Denver Public Schools spokesman Mark Stevens has resigned to take a similar job with the Weld County District 6 school district in Greeley.
"The opportunity to serve in an expanded role alongside Superintendent Renae Dreier in Greeley is too tempting to pass up," Stevens said in a statement this afternoon. "I've had the pleasure of working with many dedicated and talented education leaders, including five superintendents. I look forward to applying what I've learned here to the task ahead in Greeley, where there is no less pressure to improve student achievement."
Stevens will continue in his current role in Denver for at least several weeks.
Superintendent Michael Bennet will conduct a search to find a replacement.
"On behalf of the Denver Public Schools family, I want to thank Mark for over 10 years of service to DPS and our kids," Bennet said in a statement. "His service has been tireless, selfless and greatly admired by everyone associated with the district. I wish him luck in his new post. Our loss is Greeley's gain."
