FOX31: Outgoing board members for Denver Public Schools held their final meeting Thursday night, and there was some serious tension.

This was a meeting attended by friends or family of the outgoing board members, but a group of parents who voted them out, couldn’t get into the main room.

“Every two years, we do a celebration to honor those who are leaving,” said Auon’tai Anderson, outgoing Board of Education member at large.
