Denver board members chastise fellow board member after his accusations about open meetings violation

Chalkbeat Colorado: Six Denver school board members shared their displeasure with the seventh board member, John Youngquist, Thursday evening, saying his recent actions were disappointing and upsetting.

The discussion stemmed from Youngquist’s December allegation that the board violated state open meetings law. Three board members — Michelle Quattlebaum, Xóchitl “Sochi” Gaytán, and Scott Esserman — countered in a letter to board President Carrie Olson that Youngquist acted unprofessionally toward board members and staff and said his claims of open meeting violations were unfounded.

On Thursday, Youngquist’s six board colleagues spoke in stern but measured tones about the impact of his actions.
