Denver Public Schools’ Board of Education released this recording of its March 23, 2023, executive session after news organizations, including The Denver Post, sued the district, arguing the board violated the Colorado Open Meetings Law by discussing public policy in the closed-door meeting. The newly released recording of the Denver Board of Education’s closed-door meeting the day after the East High School shooting shows board members working to craft a policy to put armed police back in schools amid pressure from the public, the mayor and their own superintendent. Denver Public Schools spent the last four months fighting to keep the video of that executive session secret, even after a judge ruled the school board had violated Colorado Open Meetings Law and ordered DPS to release the footage.
