, as the school “regroups” following a shakeup to its leadership team. DPA co-founder Jonathan Barnett — CEO and President of Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning — has resigned as the school’s top benefactor. “Jonathan Barnett is no longer involved with Denver Prep Academy,” a spokesman for Barnett told The Denver Post. “He resigned at the beginning of the month due to philosophical and operational differences with the other members of the organization. In addition, Jonathan has put the gym and dorms that he initially purchased in July of last year up for sale.
“Jonathan’s passion for basketball and desire to empower student-athletes remains constant despite these recent developments. Looking ahead, he has every intention of continuing to ensure that young basketball players are given the opportunities they need to be the best they can be — both on and off the court.”
DPA’s remaining co-founders — Ray Valdez and Domonic Martinez — are tabling the project for at least one year, they said, with the expectation of a future reopening with new investors.
