George W. Bush Plans Visit To Denver On Saturday

DENVER (AP) - Former President George W. Bush plans to visit Denver on Saturday to host a roundtable discussion with Denver education leaders.

The discussion will focus on the George W. Bush Institute's Alliance to Reform Education Leadership initiative. The effort, announced last year, aims to improve student achievement by improving the performance of school principals.

Bush will be visiting the Denver-based organization Get Smart Schools, which is a new partner in the initiative. The University of Denver's Daniels College of Business and Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning, or McREL, are other Denver partners.
