Parents really tore into the Denver school board last night.
The session began at around 4:30 p.m. on November 14 and didn't conclude until 1:40 a.m. today, November 15. Over the course of more than seven hours, dozens upon dozens of DPS parents took turns alternately defending their children's institutions and tearing into the board over a process they found to be consistently frustrating and frequently incomprehensible.
; the roster was halved last week, but a district news release stressed that Whittier and the four other schools that were temporarily spared"are still under consideration [for closure] and will continue to be supported as we more closely engage with those respective communities." "The level of disrespect felt and distrust created by the short timeline, the lack of transparency in the selection process and the complete disregard for the support needed for our school communities during these proceedings is both disheartening and disingenuous," Gannon said.
