Denver school board’s weekend swearing-in ceremony draws scrutiny

The Denver Post: The Denver Public Schools Board of Education swore in three newly elected members and a reelected director Saturday, a move that drew criticism over its timing and initial plans to elect new officers to lead the governing body of Colorado’s largest K-12 district.

Board members scheduled the public meeting after the Denver Clerk and Recorder’s Office alerted four candidates — Xóchitl Gaytán, Amy Klein Molk, Monica Hunter and DJ Torres — on Friday that their election to the board was certified.

The school board originally scheduled the swearing-in ceremony for Dec. 2, but the timing of the notice meant DPS had to swear in the new members by Nov. 30, according to the district.
