Conservative Takeover of Colorado School District Causes Mass Staff Exodus

A conservative takeover of a Colorado school board has led to nearly 40% of high school staff quitting, with neighboring districts reporting Woodland Park students transferring schools. The district has implemented a fringe social studies curriculum, given away part of the public middle school to a charter school, and hired a superintendent who was recently recalled from a nearby district. At least two staffers who voiced objections were ousted from their jobs, and the district indicated that it would not apply for grants that pay the salaries of counseling staff and social workers.
