Starting back in October of 2015, our Board of Directors began the process of evaluating the direction of our educational institutions by engaging stakeholders from all levels of the organization, as well as the community. The purpose of this exercise was to look at the educational landscape and determine how best we will serve the families, and most importantly, the students both now and into the future. We are excited to now roll out our school-wide Educational Master Plan (EMP). This newly approved plan by our Board of Directors sets an exciting direction for our institution; one that we are confident will bring success to our K-12 students and families in the next 5 years and for generations to come. I would like to take an opportunity and thank all those who were involved with the development of our EMP and gave their input and time. I would especially like to thank and recognize Pueblo City Schools for their support and resources that they provide our institution for the success of students. Our future is bright and filled with opportunities, so together, let us seize those opportunities for the benefit of our students and fulfillment of our mission. Sincerely, Steven L. Trujillo, MBA Board President Building a Legacy of Success P a g e 1 | 81 CHPA EDUCATIONAL MASTER PLAN 2016-2021 Executive Director’s Message The Educational Master Plan (EMP) was prepared to cover the period between 2016 and 2021. The EMP is utilized in decision-making in the Planning and Budgeting in resource allocation decisions and to guide the institution in its program development, facilities and technology implementation. In October 2015, the Board of Directors authorized a school-wide EMP. After a year’s work with input from stakeholders, the Board approved the EMP covering five years of Board goals. As a result, CHPA will embark on a process to implement the school’s EMP to align itself with the newly developed Board approved plan. The process included seeking input from stakeholders utilizing the governance structure; updating internal and external data; establishing planning assumptions; reviewing and approving a new mission statement; updating facilities and technology plans; utilizing the data to reflect a more dynamic use of the plan which also includes communication and enrollment management as sections that make transparent how the school intends to meet key aspects of the plan. This new and dynamic change has the prospect of making CHPA’s Educational Master Plan a relevant and utilized key document in fulfilling the revised mission of the school over the next five years. I am grateful to all those who participated in developing the plan and for the core group who strategized in developing the process to move us forward in a timely manner. I trust this plan will contribute in supporting our effort in establishing a student-centered, high-performance organization. Respectfully, Richard Durán, Ed.D. Executive Director Building a Legacy of Success P a g e 2 | 81 CHPA EDUCATIONAL MASTER PLAN 2016-2021 INTRODUCTION The Educational Master Plan (EMP) at Chávez/Huerta K-12 Preparatory Academy (CHPA) is utilized to coordinate and integrate formal planning initiatives of the school. In application, the EMP serves to illustrate the integration of practices and operations. At the operational level the school utilizes goals and objectives to support the greater mission of the institution. In effect, all the operations at the department and unit level are linked to the goals and mission statement of CHPA. The EMP serves as the umbrella for all related planning documents. A principal role of the EMP is to document a strategic planning process that allows the school to assess and prioritize its planning needs for the future. A comprehensive and forward thinking EMP requires synthesis of the institution’s mission and vision with sound information about the student population being served, enrollment projections, economic trends, and the new and emerging demands of the state and community. This EMP is organized into chapters. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the history of the school, the various missions impacting school decisions and plans, Board Goals along with other salient information. Chapter 2 includes a presentation and analysis of the external and internal environmental data, respectively, used to guide and reaffirm the planning priorities. Chapter 3 reflects the architecture of that provide guidance on the development of a curriculum that is aligned from K through 12 and that meets and exceeds state student academic achievement standards. Chapter 4 provides for the Enrollment Management Plan that supports how we intend to grow. Chapter 5 discusses the value of communication and related activities to engage the entire school community. Chapter 6 reflects the related facilities plan to accommodate academic programming needs as well as growth while Chapter 7 addresses the related technology plan that supports the objectives of CHPA. CHPA takes seriously its role in responding to the primary and secondary needs of its service area, namely, Pueblo County. The faculty, staff and administration realize that future programs cannot be based merely on past successes. Rather, strategies must be developed to meet present and future needs and demands. Additionally, the EMP links to Board Goals and strategic objectives which link to the budget. Analysis of the school’s changing internal and external environment, assessment of community and student needs, and measurement of effectiveness in meeting those needs from the basis of institutional planning. Simply put, the school asks itself where it is now and where it wants to be. The answers to these questions sets the course and identifies the means to measure when it has reached its destination. CHPA exists in an ever-changing environment in which the planning process must be accommodated. With every annual funding cycle and legislative session, state and federal priorities can change. The local community is dynamic and technology changes at a rapid pace. Thus, the underlying assumption is that the planning process will be modified and adjusted to reflect changing needs. Building a Legacy of Success P a g e 3 | 81 CHPA EDUCATIONAL MASTER PLAN 2016-2021 HISTORY OF CHPA In November 2000, Pueblo City Schools approved the charter application for César Chávez Academy (CCA). The public charter school was founded by a group of committed educators and community members in Pueblo, Colorado and opened as an alternative choice for public education when it began enrolling students for the 2001 school year. CCA occupied the vacant Hyde Park School built in 1948 on Pueblo’s westside and began changing the face of education by implementing educational programs designed to meet the needs of its students and families. In 2002, the music program expanded to include mariachi music and “Mariachi Águila” was formed. By 2003 enrollment grew and the facility was expanded to include a new gymnasium and science classrooms to accommodate growth of faculty, staff and students. In December 2003, Pueblo City Schools also approved the charter application for the affiliated Dolores Huerta Preparatory High (DHPH) as an Early College Program (ECP) that first opened for the 2004-2005 school year. The DHPH ECP allowed students the opportunity to earn a high school diploma and an Associate’s degree by the time they graduate from high school. By 2004, CCA had enrolled 555 students in grades K-8, and DHPH enrolled 179 students in grades 9th and 10th in its first year. By 2006, enrollment at both schools was increasing rapidly and on November 10, 2006 DHPH broke ground on the new high school facility and construction began. On September 4, 2007 an historic ribbon cutting ceremony for Pueblo’s newest high school building was conducted and Dolores Huerta herself was present to celebrate the occasion. DHPH firmly established itself as a premier school with its academic and athletic programs. The schools continued to experience growth and in May 2008 Mariachi Águila released its music CD, “Por Primera Vez”. Later in July, Mariachi Áquila placed third in the international Mariachi Spectacular in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The next few years presented challenges for the schools due to rapid growth of the Pueblo campus and the CCA educational model expanding to Colorado Springs and Denver. As the result of a financial and organizational review of the César Chávez School Network by the Colorado Department of Education, the schools in Colorado Springs and Denver became independent schools.
