Hundreds of students, parents, and community members in the Northside neighborhood held a walkout in support of North High teacher Tim Hernandez. And now, Mr. Hernandez is on administrative leave for his involvement in that walkout.
CBS4 confirmed with Hernandez’s union representative that Hernandez is on leave for the rest of the school year.Hernandez was told by Denver Public School’s administration that he would not be returning back to North High next school year despite performing well.
Parents say Hernandez is one of only a handful of Chicano teachers at the school that students could relate to – in one of the most gentrified neighborhoods in the country.“Mr. Hernandez, he deserves to be back at our school,” said one unidentified female student. “He’s one of the teachers that supports us. We relate more to him, we need to be supported by him. We need a teacher who that like us in this environment, this community.
A DPS spokesperson said Friday that Hernandez was in an associate position that would end at the end of the school year with no chance of it being renewed. The district said it is committing to the hiring and retaining of diverse teachers.Marissa Armas is a bilingual reporter who specializes in covering race, culture and immigration.
