From The Denver Post:   A student at Kennedy High School in Denver told police that she had been dating a classmate for one day when he raped her in the boys’ locker room. More than 25 miles north, at a Thornton elementary school, Michelle Judson’s son was stabbed in the finger with a metal ruler, slicing his skin to the bone and forcing him to get five stitches. And Desiree Richie still recalls the day her preteen son made a classmate bleed during a fight at Bruce Randolph School in Denver.

But none of the campuses reported having any assaults during the years the incidents occurred, according to school discipline data obtained through an open-records request made to the Colorado Department of Education.

State law requires districts to report discipline and safety information at schools, but a joint investigation by The Denver Post and KMGH-Channel 7 found that the school safety information offered to parents lacks state oversight and varies wildly from one district to the next. Some schools fail to report assaults that police would consider felonies, while others document even the smallest scuffle between elementary students.
