Read it again: Students from Denver’s North High walk out of class after beloved Latino teacher placed on leave
Students at Denver’s North High School rallied in support of a beloved teacher, who was placed on administrative leave last week, by walking out of their classrooms Thursday morning and then speaking out during the district’s school board meeting in the evening.
Navarro-Alvarez helped organize the march, saying that Hernández created a safe space for Latino students and the administration is taking it away. The school and district aren’t retaining BIPOC teachers, she said. Hernández said he was escorted from district’s Emily Griffith campus downtown, where the meeting was held, before it began.
DPS also limited the number of people allowed to attend the public meeting to 25 people, excluding the board directors. The district said the limit is because of “the configuration of the room” the board has been meeting in since the pandemic began. There are 33 chairs in the room for the public, said district spokesman Scott Pribble.“I am baffled that in-person participation has been limited at this month’s Board of Education meeting,” he said.
