‘Delay and obfuscation’: Denver schools’ pattern of response to records requests’

The Denver Gazette: In the weeks after two East High School deans were shot — when the public was clamoring for and demanding answers — The Denver Gazette submitted more than two dozen records requests to Denver Public Schools to shed light on the district’s response.

The Denver Gazette also wanted to better understand the scope of student pat downs, which, in part, led to the shooting of Wayne Mason and Eric Sinclair on March 22.

After 32 requests over the past six months for public information under the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA), the district has shown a pattern of delays, denials and obfuscation, an assessment shared by an expert on constitutional rights and by parents who organized after the shooting.
