Superintendent Alex Marrero said Thursday that he and Mayor Michael Hancock did discuss the use of an executive order to put armed police back into Denver’s schools following the“The mayor and I have had that conversation,” Marrero told The Denver Post.Marrero had informed the Board of Education that, if the board itself didn’t act, there was a plan for Hancock to issue an executive order declaring a public health emergency in order to station police inside schools.
“The mayor did not propose an executive order or threaten an executive order,” he said. “Again, he can’t issue an executive order in this situation.”On Monday, both Marrero and school board President Xóchitl “Sochi” Gaytán issued statements following Anderson’s allegations in which they said they couldn’t reveal what was discussed during the board’s closed executive session following the shooting at East.
But Gaytán, in a memo reprimanding Anderson for publicly disclosing information from the closed session, said the superintendent and the mayor had had a private conversation about “the creation of an executive order to address school safety.”
