Ex-Denver Public Schools PIO says board members not getting enough information, but some disagree

Chalkbeat Colorado: The former executive director of communications for Denver Public Schools accused the district this week of “limiting the flow of information” to school board members, which he said hinders the transparency of an organization that serves 88,000 of the city’s children.

Will Jones, whose position was eliminated from DPS in February, also criticized the district for asking the communications staff to sign confidentiality agreements shortly after his departure.

“I believe that information is a good thing, and more information is even better,” Jones said at a press conference Thursday at which he was the main speaker. Jones said he spoke up because “in my experience, and seeing what was happening with DPS, the board of education wasn’t getting as much information now as they used to.”
