Denver’s school board violated state law when members met behind closed doors the day after the shooting inside East High School, a judge ruled Friday, ordering Denver Public Schools to release the recording of the entire meeting within three days.
As part of the lawsuit, the media coalition sought the release of the meeting’s recording.
Denver District Court Judge Andrew Luxen on Friday issued an order that found the executive session was “convened in violation of statute” because the topics discussed during the five-hour meeting were not properly noticed beforehand. As a result, “no resolution, rule, regulation, ordinance or formal action of the Denver School Board adopted during the executive session is valid, by operation of law,” Luxen wrote.of the meeting to the court for a review, saying that there was “a reasonable belief” that the board adopted a policy or position or discussed topics behind closed doors that were not permitted by state statute.
When the school board emerged from its executive session on March 23, members had a prepared memo thatfully reversed that 2020 policy last week, allowing school resource officers — or SROs — to return more permanently. Superintendent Alex Marrero is expected to release his final districtwide safety plan, which he has been crafting following the board’s directive in the March 23 memo, next week.
