Jeffco School Board Open Thread

For all my Jeffco peeps:

This thread is intended to be a place to share information about the struggle for a representative school board in Jefferson County, vs. right wing ideologues that apparently would like to:

 

  • break the education unions
  • channel more funding to charter schools
  • politicize and narrow the curriculum to fit right wing ideology

So here's a link to a page, Jefferson County School Board Watch, that appears to be a forum and clearinghouse for rumors and information on what's going on with the School Board. A community member reports on intimidation and sneaky tactics at an informational meeting Feb 11..

 

You all will have to take it from here; I'm just putting up this thread. Peace!

    Concerned for Jeffco's blog: Six degrees of Brad Miller

    Shady goings on:

    Jeffco School Board's new attorney Brad Miller, who was hired in a backroom deal, also owns a company called Charter School Solutions,  co-owner of the business is Denise Mund.  She has power over creating and approving new Charter schools. She spent approx.13 years running the division in the Colorado Dept of Education that oversees Charter Schools.
