  DURHAM -- Durham Public Schools Superintendent Ann T. Denlinger and Duke University President Richard H. Brodhead announced today that DPS and Duke are expanding their longstanding partnership with three new initiatives designed to significantly boost support for classroom teachers.

  Over the next three years, the University will contribute $925,000 to assist DPS by providing scholarships to Duke graduate students who are pursuing advanced teaching degrees, increasing fluency in Spanish among teachers and staff members, and helping retain early-career teachers. The programs are expected to provide direct support for as many as 200 DPS teachers who work with approximately 6,000 public school students.
