DENVER — A new era sweeps into the Denver Public Schools Board of Education after the election of three new members: John Youngquist, Kimberlee Sia and Marlene DeLaRosa.
"I would like to have more frequent reports on how that implementation of that plan is going," Sia said. Youngquist and DeLaRosa were not available for an interview Wednesday afternoon. Both released statements outlining their priorities. I know there has been a great deal of discussion about the division between pro-union and reform ideology. Our district has many complex and deep rooted issues. I am committed to supporting the needs of every student and their outcomes. I don't fall into one camp or ideology, my pledge is to listen to all sides of the issue and make the best decision focusing on what is best for students.
Each of these priorities needs to be engaged immediately with the new Board of Education coming together to provide direction and support." Roughly $1.9 million was spent on the DPS races. The biggest spender was a group called Better Leaders, Stronger Schools, a pro-charter school group that invested in all three winning candidates.
