About
I am asking for your VOTE this November 2nd, 2021! Help elect me to the Denver Public School Board District 4 seat!
Rev. Dr. José Silva has been an advocate for youth, education and the community for over 28 years. In 2019, Rev. Dr. Jose Silva became the first Chief Executive Officer for the Colorado Association for Infant Mental Health.

In this role, Jose has helped to develop College Readiness, Leadership Development and School & Home Safety curriculums, Entry to Exit School Safety Curriculum and is a National Leader in Restorative Practices.

A specialty of Dr. Silva’s professional and personal approach to community engagement is his orientation of multiculturalism—the embracing and celebrating of individual differences.
One of Dr. Silva’s key strengths is demonstrated comprehension of complex factors when conceptualizing systems of domination and oppression and appropriately addressing these systems.

Priorities
Campaign Priorities
2. I will lead a SWOT Analysis and then metrics for change, creating a strategic plan regarding all policies, laws, and regulations that impact our district; and implement policies that help improve the work of DPS Schools.
3. BUDGET! With the decrease in DPS student population, we need to become fiscally smart and only focused on the work of DPS. I mean heads down in the numbers, data and spending the time to lift DPS financially, rather than spending time running for the next office.
4. Support and Hold account our new Superintendent to the needs of the varying communities and be a guiding voice in those conversations. I am held accountable to my board for goals i.e., financial, growth, sustainability, and maturity of programs, which is the lens I will bring for Dr. Marrero.
5. Equity. Equity. Equity. Moving our thinking from a lens to a foundation. Lifting the work of Dr. Sharon Bailey and commissioning a study for the Latino/x/a Denver population.
The job of a DPS Board member from my historical view which I believe is how I will lead, is that our work should not be flashy but speak for itself and always be about the students first, and lastly, as an advocate and voice for the community that is the board member I will be.
