DENVER, CO – AUGUST 24: Denver Public Schools Board of Education member Scott Baldermann, left, during a meeting at DPS headquarters in Denver August 24, 2023. After the violence in and around Denver Public School earlier this year, we are some of the many parents who founded or joined grassroots organizations concerned with the safety of Denver’s schools and classrooms.
Into the current month of October, reports surfaced that DPS paid board member Auon’tai Anderson $3,500 in a secret settlement agreement in which both parties cheerfully agreed to circumvent Colorado’s public record laws. Days later came the revelation that DPS had also suppressed a comprehensive third-party report that found many teachers and staff justifiably concerned about their safety.
But even these decisions pale next to the potential liability of this board’s radical discipline matrix, under which a student who is charged in juvenile court with attempted murder or sexual assault, or who brings a gun to school, is encouraged to return to their neighborhood classroom — a policy contrary to the practice of mandatory expulsion in virtually every other school district in the State.
Heather Lamm is the founder of Resign DPS Board, Paul Ballenger is a founding member of the Parents Safety Advocacy Group , and a former at-large candidate for the Denver Board of Education. Stephen B. Katsaros is a founding member of PSAG, and Theresa Peña is a former president of the DPS Board of Education.
