Stunning claims by the president of the Denver school board.
However, beefs arose over the way the school board's business is conducted."We call it the policy governance model," Gaytán says. The approach sets overarching goals but limits the ability of boardmembers to encroach on the superintendent's efforts to accomplish them, and"things started to deteriorate because Scott Esserman and Tay Anderson don't care for the model.
Last month, for example,"Tay Anderson and Scott Esserman went to a community meeting at Manual High School to make certain demands of employees there," she reveals."That overstepped Dr. Marrero's operational work, because they weren't supposed to make demands of his employees and tell them what to do. But when I approached Scott Esserman about this behavior and how he was violating board policy, he made very verbally abuse remarks to me, accompanied by a demeaning tone.
Because of such exchanges, Gaytán says she no longer feels safe meeting alone with either Anderson or Esserman. As for the public board meeting,"Tay Anderson has indicated on social media that he's looking to make a motion to redo the officers' vote once we have the new District 5 candidate," she says, referring to Lindsay.
