The Honorable
Auon'tai Anderson
Dear Neighbor,
My story is the story of so many Denverites; I am the son of a single mother and grandson of a public school educator, and for most of my life, we lived off of government assistance. Growing up, I dreamed about becoming a public school educator, but that dream encountered a few bumps on the road; I have experienced being a kid in the system and also being homeless, but I didn't let that stop me. I graduated from Manual High School and then became a unionized educator in Denver Public Schools.
Four years ago, our school district was at a turning point, and you elected me to help turn the page and bring new policies to the School Board, now, four years later, I am proud to report that we have accomplished everything that we set out to do and now I am Chief Executive Officer of the Center for Advancing Black Excellence in Education!
