"Denver Public Schools' Board of Education Sees Major Shake-Up in Recent Elections"

Voters in Denver favored change in the Board of Education elections, with two incumbents being ousted and a former high school principal elected to an open at-large seat. The reasons for the change could be attributed to concerns about school safety, demand for more school resource officers, school closings, dysfunction of the current board, support from charter school backers, or the endorsement by the new Denver mayor. While only three seats were up for election, the results indicate a shift in direction for the board.
