School board fires Superintendent Corey Wise Trust issues mount for elected board BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In a 4-3 vote on Feb. 4, the Douglas County School Board of Directors fired Superintendent Corey Wise,
effective immediately. The decision came after school board member David Ray made a motion to postpone an official vote in favor of more time to discuss and give the public a chance to comment. Ray’s measure failed 4-3. Ray asked what harm it would do to delay the vote. “Not making it public. Not giving the public a chance to respond,” he
said. “This is not effective government. It will have long-term damage on this district.” Voting in favor of firing the superintendent were first-year school board members Mike Peterson, Christy Williams, Becky Myers and Kaylee Winegar, with Ray and directors Elizabeth Hanson and Susan Meek voting against it.

Roughly 20 years ago, Kaci Nice was an 18-year-old, born-and-raised Parker resident attending Ponderosa High School. The high school senior was playing soccer and preparing to graduate. Her coach was Corey Wise. He taught her social studies class too. She remembers him as “an amazing teacher” who was popular among students. She called him “the most ethical, caring, loving, strong family man that I have ever met.” Now in the wake of allegations a conservative school board majority improperly asked Wise to resign or face termination as the district’s superintendent, Nice —a parent of two current Douglas County School District students — is taking action. “I immediately wanted to stand up to that wrong that had been done,” she said.

Parker residents will not have a chance to vote on whether or not they want to continue being part of the Regional Transportation District, or RTD, after a bill to allow the decision was indefinitely postponed in a state Senate committee hearing Feb. 1. The State, Veterans & Military Affairs committee halted the bill with three members voting against it and two voting in favor. “I have concerns about the health of RTD at large but also I don’t know what the best path forward is,” said Julie Gonzalez, the chair of the committee. “I’m not convinced SEE POSTPONED, P9

‘You cannot research what you don’t know’: Navigating disability legal services How CCDC is helping people with disabilities in the legal realm BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Navigating the world with a family member with disabilities can be challenging on multiple fronts, and the Denver-based advocacy organization Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition has a program to help with legal services. CCDC’s social enterprise legal program, Probate Power, was founded in 2015 and assists in special needs planning, conservatorships, guardianships and probate administration. Services like these can help people with disabilities to navigate administration of an estate while maintaining state benefits. Chris Brock, the first managing attorney for the program, is providing an essential service for people with disabilities that can be hard to find. “We are a legal program run by two attorneys with disabilities, and our whole goal is to help individuals and families with disabilities plan for the future,” Brock said. He explained solutions are not black and white in many probate

situations. “It’s really hard if you’re trying to provide for someone past your death — that you can’t just give them that money,” he said. Linnette Chitla, whose family lives in Denver, met Brock at a special needs fair years ago. When her son with disabilities neared the age of 18, she realized she needed to give Probate Power a call. “When my son turned 18, we went to him, (and) he helped us a lot,” Chitla said. “I do tend to do things

by myself, but when I saw all the paperwork, I went to him. Everything was so smooth.” Cost of legal services is one barrier that can exile some. Probate Power aims to provide affordable services to families and people with disabilities. “It wasn’t expensive either; it was doable,” Chitla said. One of the hardest things for the Chitla family was lack of information and understanding when to pursue services. “[It was difficult] knowing in advance what to do ... debating a lot if we needed it, then I found out that you need to … because they treat your son as an adult and you can’t decide,” she said. Chitla is referring to the guardianship her family needed to put in place when her son turned 18. A guardianship must be appointed by the court for parents to be able to continue to make decisions for their child with disabilities after they become a legal adult at 18. Brock worked with the family throughout the process and assuaged Chitla’s worries. Understanding legal jargon and best practices can be overwhelming for families and those with disabilities, and as Chitla points out, sometimes that original lack of informa-
tion can keep you from finding out more. “You cannot research what you don’t know,” she said. Brock understands this information gap exists, and that’s what he is trying to change with Probate Power. “It’s not something that a ton of attorneys do,” he said. Nearly one in four people in the U.S. have a disability, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Disabilities take many forms and can be visible and invisible. According to the World Health Organization, disability can have three dimensions: impairment, activity limitations and participation restriction. Disabilities can present at birth, be associated with developmental conditions, be related to injuries, be associated with long-term conditions and can be progressive, static or intermittent. Brock understands the importance of involving the person with disabilities in the legal process, and he makes an effort to interact with them, regardless of their disability. “I always want to at least meet the respondent in the case,” he said. Except for hospital staff informing the Chitla family they would need to look into a guardianship in the future, information about raising a child with disabilities was difficult to find. Chitla said she wishes there was a central location to find information about disability services. “When you have a kid with special needs, it’s like a new world … there should be a database with everything there: waivers, what to do when they turn 18, etc.,” Chitla said. While a service like this has not been established yet, Probate Power is working to expand its services. In 2021, the program served over 75 cases, compared to 50 the previous year. Probate Power plans to expand services and staff going into the new year. For those pursuing disability legal services, Brock said the best thing to do is to reach out and start the conversation. Probate Power offers free consultations, and more information and contact forms can be found at ccdcprobatepower.com.

No new timeline has been given BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Though the building that will house a new Trader Joe’s grocery store in Parker has come a long way, it’s not yet ready to open its doors. “That project is a ways out from receiving a certificate of occupancy,” said town spokesperson Andy Anderson. “There is still work to be done on both the building’s exterior and interior.” A certificate of occupancy is awarded by the town when a building is ready to be used. Both the town and Trader Joe’s have said there is not yet an expected opening date for the popular California-based grocery store. The grocery store’s beer license
was approved by the Town of Parker in a Feb. 18, 2021 meeting. At that time, regional vice president of the company Phil Wofford said the soonest the store would operate was February of this year. Once open, it will have daily hours from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. with closures on major holidays. The store, which will have about 80 employees, will be located at 18374 Cottonwood Drive, Suite 150, near the Costco Wholesale. During the week of Feb. 1, the building’s interior appeared incomplete with walls not yet finished and construction crews entering the building. Trader Joe’s is known for its private labeled, uncommon food items such as cookie butter, cauliflower pizza crust and pickle-flavored popcorn. This store location will have beer but not its popular, affordable wine selection sometimes called “Two-Buck Chuck” due to its proximity to a liquor store, Wofford said last year.

also launched a Change.org petition urging recalls of the four directors who reportedly plotted Wise’s ouster. The online petition garnered 7,000 signatures in less than 24 hours. An estimated 1,500 teachers called out sick today, forcing the district to cancel classes. On Feb. 3, hundreds of district staff and community members gathered outside district headquarters in Castle Rock protesting plans to remove Wise and steps the board majority had taken Jan. 25 to dismantle the district’s equity policy. Students, parents and teachers began arriving in front of district offices on Wilcox Street in Castle Rock around 12:30 p.m. The crowd steadily increased throughout the afternoon. As demonstrators chanted “transparency matters” cars passing by mostly honked in support. Some disagreed and yelled profanities. One man said, “Your equity is stealing my daughter’s future. Get back to work.” Nadene Klein, a teacher for the district, said she feels the current school board needs to be held accountable and abide by state laws in making decisions. “They need to be transparent and Corey Wise deserves his due process,” Klein said. “I respectfully disagree with the board’s current point of view but I respect that they were elected. I will respect them in their decision making as long as they follow the law. I think a day

out of school is worth saving three years of hardship.” Demonstrators had several messages as they participated in the event. Some were there to throw support behind Wise while others came out to fight making changes to the district’s equity policy. On Jan. 25, the board passed a resolution through a 4-3 vote that directs the superintendent to return in September with recommended amendments to the district’s equity policy. Caroline Newkirk, a 3-year district teacher, said the equity policy being dismantled is a problem. “It is an issue for me and a lot of other teachers,” she said. “A lot of time and energy was put into creating it and it should be honored so we can stand for all students.”
Dwayne and Dawn Thomason weathered the cold temperatures and snow during the Feb. 3 demonstration to show support for Wise. Dawn, a secretary for the district, said Wise, “is a terrific person, fair and kind. He is a good person for the district and we are here supporting him.” Several demonstrators said they disagree with board members allegedly holding meetings and making decisions without the entire board present. Parent Sarah FitzSimons, a mother of four in Parker, said she came out to show support for transparency and her sister-in-law who has taught in the district for 21 years. “I am unhappy with this board’s lack of transparency and not giving (Wise) due process,” she said. “Then
they are blocking equity steps that are important in helping teachers get training to properly help and teach students who are transgender.” A large group of students from Rock Canyon High School attended the lively demonstration. Several students, ranging between freshmen and seniors, said they participated in support of teachers. Sophomore Katie Dupper said she is standing up for equity and transparency in the district, while noting that she is excited to see that the demonstration was peaceful, fun and got the message across. “We just want to make sure we are headed in the right direction for years to come,” she said. “Our teachers need our support.” Sophomore Hailey Vetter said, “I am here in complete support of the teachers and give them the love I receive from them daily.” Tensions around educational equity and governance of the district have brewed for weeks. The most recent tipping point came Jan. 31, when the school board minority of David Ray, Susan Meek and Elizabeth Hanson held a public meeting alleging the board majority had given Wise the ultimatum to leave or be fired without the full board’s knowledge and without formal board approval. They publicly accused directors Mike Peterson, Becky Myers, Christy Williams and Kaylee Winegar of violating board policy and breaking open meetings law. Peterson issued a statement Feb. 1 saying the board had not taken any SEE RALLIES, P6

formal action regarding Wise’s employment status and had urged the district to keep students in school. He vowed to respect Wise’s privacy and his legacy. Wise has been with DCSD for 26 years, spending his entire career with the district. Meek told Colorado Community Media she spoke with Wise on Jan. 28 after learning about the ultimatum, and she said he corroborated accounts he was asked to resign or face termination. Meek said she could not speak for Wise when asked if he was considering the ultimatum or if he found it legally legitimate. A district spokeswoman said she had no updates when asked about the evening of Feb. 1 — the deadline Wise was reportedly given for deciding if he would resign — and about whether he had responded to requests he step down. Meek said the alleged open meeting law violations were not the first complaints about majority board directors’ actions. More than once, she questioned Peterson during board meetings about why he was referring to the board majority as a “we” and saying the four all felt the same about certain issues, despite Meek saying she had not been privy to whatever discussions he was referring to. “That insinuates that backdoor conversations are happening — deciding policy as opposed to talking about it during board meetings,” she said. A joint video statement by Peterson, Douglas County Commissioner Abe Laydon and Douglas County Board of Health President Doug Benevento also drew scrutiny from directors because Peterson was not authorized through director approval to speak on behalf of the school board. Following the Jan. 31 meeting, Meek said she hoped the board would line up a special meeting with the full board, rescheduling the board’s retreat — which had been cancelled — to discuss the overall direction of the district and discuss concerns about the board’s relationships with Will Trachman. Trachman is the board’s outside legal counsel and had reportedly consulted Peterson and Williams about removing Wise without briefing the full board about the conversations. Meek said she was most concerned by any backdoor meetings that might have occured, saying that conduct is something that “rips apart a community and destroys trust.” The director said she is “absolutely” concerned the attempted removal of Wise will spur teacher turnover, and she conveyed that worry to Peterson. “We are at the height of hiring season of school districts,” Meek said. “It’s absolutely the worst signal to give to our staff, that we are switching over leadership of an individual that they care deeply about.” Before the Jan. 31 meeting began, Douglas County Federation President Kevin DiPasquale was eagerly waiting to see what directors would discuss. He had called his own meeting of the DCF that night, scheduling it before directors announced theirs.
February 10, 2022 It was set to begin one hour after the directors would convene. He expected talk at the union meeting would pivot to any revelations from the directors’ discussion, but he had planned to hear about union members’ concerns with the district’s work environment. The organization put out a 48-hour survey to district staff roughly two weeks ago. Of 136 respondents, 61% said they are thinking about leaving the district and 43% said they are thinking of leaving the profession altogether. DiPasquale said survey participants provided multiple reasons for wanting to leave the district or teaching. Those spanned from fears the new board majority is partisan, feeling unsafe in schools where masking is not required or worry about censorship in the classroom. Following the Jan. 31 allegations, he said veteran staff were shocked and infuriated. The union had not always agreed with Wise’s decisions but plans of removing him in a potentially illegal manner sent shockwaves through the community, he said. “The sense of fear and retaliation is alive and large,” DiPasquale said Jan. 31.

be hired. As per his contract, Wise will be entitled to a one-year payout, equaling $247,500, according to Peterson. The decision came after a week of controversy among the board’s newly-elected four member majority and the three members making up the minority. At issue in the more than three-hour meeting was trust. The three-member minority said trust was violated when Williams and Peterson held a meeting with Wise the previous week, giving him the options to resign, retire or face termination from the school board’s new majority. Peterson defended the meeting, saying it did not violate open meeting laws and all board members were notified about the meeting with Wise after it happened. The majority members said trust was violated when Ray, Meek and Hanson held a public meeting Jan. 31 alleging the majority had violated open meeting laws in taking the action they did with Wise. Later in the week, teachers held a “sick-out” that caused the district to cancel all classes Feb. 3. A demonstration was held, partly to support Wise, at the district offices in Castle Rock on the same day. Wise was employed with the district for more than 26 years, climbing through the ranks to become superintendent. As the meeting got going, Wise was given the choice to discuss his employment with the board behind closed
doors in an executive session or in a session open to the public. Wise chose to keep the meeting open to the public. In fighting for his job, Wise said, “The irony a little bit is that this was about me and my performance. I would love to go back and have the time to go through each of those. Step those out. Find the root cause. There are times where I wonder if you want to fire each other or fire me.” Peterson, Myers, Winegar and Williams said they were prepared to work with Wise at the start of their terms; however, they questioned his handling of the district’s equity policy and its mask mandate. The four majority members also questioned Wise’s ability to implement the board’s decisions, alleging his alliance remains with Ray, Meek and Hanson. Peterson said while Wise is well liked by district teachers and students, he is not CEO material. Wise asked the board to give him a chance. “Let us lead. Let me lead. Let’s see what can happen,” he said. “Let’s take the handcuffs off and work together, and let’s see what can happen. Challenge me. I like to be the underdog. Let me prove myself, and if I don’t, then come have that conversation. But please don’t do it over a weekend and with the idea that the next day I have to choose to leave the district that I love.” As the meeting was coming to a close and the final vote was being taken, some confusion came up when Myers said “no” to the question of firing Wise. When Peterson asked for clarification, Myers said she meant to say “yes” before asking for the ques-

tion again, at which time she asked tearfully, “Can I just go home?” Hanson said it was not fair for Peterson to change her vote, stressing that Myers voted “no” when asked. Wise did not provide public comment following the board’s decision.

Students rally after superintendent’s firing Protests planned at several DCSD schools as students urge transparency, educational equity BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Hundreds of students walked out of class on Feb. 7, protesting the Douglas County School District’s removal of former Superintendent Corey Wise. Protesters also rallied in support of educational equity, and many wore black to rebuke alleged violations of open meeting laws. The Monday walkouts were organized over the weekend after the district’s school board voted 4-3 on Feb. 4 to fire Wise without cause. Wise had spent his entire 26-year career with the district, starting as a studentteacher and climbing the ranks. He was named the district’s superintendent last year. At Legend High School, dozens of students gathered around the school’s flagpole shortly after 1 p.m., holding signs and shouting, “We support our teachers.” Earlier in his career, Wise opened Legend as its founding principal, and later left for a job in central district administration. In Castle Rock, 16-year-old Gabby Hooper walked out of class in protest of the board’s choice to remove Wise, saying it disrespected teacher voices. The junior at Castle View High School said she is disappointed “and really scared for the future of our district.” She believes firing a superintendent whom she knew to be well respected among staff will lead to teacher turnover. She watched the Feb. 4 special meeting with worries about its ramifications for the quality of education in DCSD. “I just immediately thought about how many people this is going to affect, how big the cost would be to our district, and not just monetary cost, but also a personnel cost. How many good teachers we’re going to lose because of this,” she said. Hooper said she is frightened “seeing the really intense division that exists” in her district community.

Besides the equity policy, parents, students and teachers in the district expressed concerns over losing Corey PHOTO BY THELMA GRIMES Wise.
Political division across the county is showing the most in local education, she said. Hooper hopes the board prioritizes keeping good teachers in the district and working together. “The really intense hatred and division and rhetoric going on at the board meeting is because of their refusal to work together and I just think something needs to change if we want anybody in our district to feel safe in the education system,” she said. “And that goes for staff and students.” The student protests were the latest amid widespread reaction to Wise’s
firing and allegations a conservative school board majority plotted to remove him in closed-door meetings. The board minority of directors David Ray, Susan Meek and Elizabeth Hanson called a public meeting on Jan. 31, where they alleged directors Mike Peterson, Becky Myers, Christy Williams and Kaylee Winegar quietly agreed to remove Wise and then gave him a private ultimatum — resign or be fired. On Feb. 3, many district teachers participated in a sick-out. Roughly 1,500 staff called out, forcing the district to cancel classes. Hundreds
of district employees, students and community members rallied in Castle Rock outside the district administration building in support of Wise and the district’s equity policy, another source of contention in the community. The board majority had moved in a 4-3 vote on Jan. 25 to adopt a resolution that directs the superintendent to return in September with recommended changes to the district’s equity policy. Amid the controversy, 10 former Douglas County School Board directors signed an open letter calling on the current board directors to “commit to completing the appropriate study, education and and/or (sic) training necessary to help them understand the scope of their individual authority and duties to our Douglas County community.” Denver Public Schools Board Director Tay Anderson released a letter on Feb. 5 bearing the names of more than 50 current and former Colorado school board directors. The joint statement said the directors are “both shocked and disappointed by the unprecedented action to terminate Superintendent Corey Wise without cause” by the newlyelected Douglas County School Board members. The letter called removing Wise without cause, without public engagement and despite strong pushback “a failure of governance.” The special meeting during which directors terminated Wise was held without public comment. Peterson said the district had received an outpouring and sufficient public comment throughout the week, while Ray called voting on Wise’s termination without allowing public comment during the meeting a travesty. Backlash has also landed in court. Highlands Ranch resident Bob Marshall filed a lawsuit on Feb. 4, alleging the board majority broke open meeting laws by using what’s sometimes referred to as “walking quorums” or “daisy-chain” meetings. The practice involves elected officials meeting twoat-a-time to discuss public business in order to evade quorum rules laid out in Sunshine Laws. The lawsuit sought to stop the Feb. SEE FIRING, P9

this is the right path forward.” Several representatives from Parker and Douglas County testified during the hearing in support of the bill including Mayor Jeff Toborg, Councilmember Cheryl Poage, Councilmember Todd Hendreks, Commissioner Abe Laydon, Commissioner George Teal and Jim Maloney, the town’s attorney. “This is about local control,” Toborg said during his testimony. “It’s not about politics, it’s not about disliking RTD, it’s not about transportation, it’s about local control.” State Sen. Jim Smallwood sponsored the bill, which would have allowed Parker residents or the town council to initiate a vote to decide if Parker would leave RTD in 2050 or when the district would refinance its debt. “There has been a concern that there is sort of an inequity between the amount of taxpayer funds that are provided to RTD through the citizens of Parker, Colorado and the benefits that they are receiving,” Smallwood said in the hearing. Parker’s town council has expressed frustration with RTD, saying that the town hasn’t received nearly enough service for the amount its residents pay in sales tax. Toborg said that in 2021, the town paid $15 million to RTD and received less than 20% in a return on investment. A spokesperson for RTD said the district has not yet calculated sales

Marshall said the case will move forward with a preliminary injunction hearing in a couple of weeks. If a judge rules in his favor, Marshall hopes the lawsuit results in a permanent order barring the school board directors from utilizing walking-quorums again.

tax gathered from the town and that it’s difficult for them to quantify the dollar amount of services provided to an area. The same bill was presented to the Colorado House of Representatives last year — sponsored by Rep. Kim Ransom (R-Acres Green) — but was indefinitely postponed after RTD made promises to improve service. Parker’s elected RTD Director Julien Bouquet spoke against the bill Feb. 1, saying that the district has made progress since the last time the bill was introduced. Bouquet pointed to the return of the P bus route and the 483 bus route, both of which serve Parker.
Colorado Community Media submitted interview requests with directors Peterson, Myers, Williams and Winegar regarding the lawsuit. “We are unable to comment on pending litigation,” district spokeswoman Paula Hans said. In the Feb. 5 meeting, all four majority board members emphatically denied breaking open meetings laws. Williams stressed she did not speak with more than one other board member at a time and maintained she “followed the law to the letter.” “We stand by the way we handled it,” Peterson said.

“It makes zero sense to take away a transit organization in a growing community,” Bouquet said. Two representatives from the Colorado Cross disability coalition spoke against the bill as well. “I’m concerned that there is nothing that replaces public transit after RTD,” Bouquet said. “I’m most concerned about our transit-dependent riders in the town.” Senators James Coleman (DDenver), Sonya Jaquez Lewis (DBoulder) and chair Julie Gonzales (D-Denver) voted against the bill. Senators Cleave Simpson (R-Alamosa) and Jerry Sonnenberg (R-Sterling) voted in favor.

The kinder, the better
O
n mornings where I am dropping my boys off to school, I often tell them three specific things. “Be good. Be kind. Be smart.” I stress those are in order of importance. I know they are smart and will learn, but I want them to be good, kind people first. FROM THE I was recently disheartened when the Children’s Museum anEDITOR nounced it would be closed from Jan. 26 through Feb. 4. They were not closing for remodeling or COVID. In this case, the 50-year favorite in Denver had to close to give staff some much-needed time off. It was not time off from work. It was time off from an increasingly rude public. “We know the stress of the Thelma Grimes last two years has taken a toll on everyone in our community, but regrettably, some guests who object to the museum’s masks have been inappropriately directing their anger toward our staff,” the notice read. So much anger had been directed towards the staff that the museum thought the best thing was to close its doors. While I understand the frustrations with masks, COVID and a world that seems to be ignoring our voices, our votes, and our feelings – I hate what we are becoming. Those frustrations are being pushed on innocent people. I, like many, am getting saddened by the bad behavior displayed just because we don’t agree with something. In this case, it is the Children’s Museum, which means the bad behavior being displayed is likely in front of impressionable children who are growing to think it is an acceptable way to act. It is not just the Children’s Museum either. I have seen this behavior from adults at schools, groceries, youth sports, stores and everywhere. There is a saying I believe in, “Attitude reflects leadership.” It is not that surprising that citizens are behaving this way. Just look at our leaders in Washington, at the state level and in our local communities. We are behaving just as our leaders are behaving. One leader I have been impressed with over the last year has been Castle Rock Mayor Jason Gray. While Castle Rock citizens may or may not agree with how he votes, he continually asks for civility among the council and in the community. We need all our leaders to lead by example. Mayor Gray does not just say that. I have not seen him lose his cool or be disrespectful, and anyone who watches Castle Rock knows the debates over the Design Review Board can be tense. As citizens, even if our leaders of this country cannot do it, I hope we can start leading by example again and checking our attitudes at the door and using good manners even in situations that are extremely frustrating. I want my children to be kind, good people. I work hard to set that example. I must admit, in the last two years, I too have had a few moments of weakness of which I am not proud. However, I work hard to remember those trying to enforce the rules are definitely not the ones who made them.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Disappointed in school board For the past few years our daughter has proudly, and compassionately, given five scholarships valued at $2,000 per scholarship through a foundation called Future Hope. We set this nonprofit up after she was hit by a train on her way to DCHS in 2002.. Under the leadership of Corey Wise, five students were picked from various High Schools within the district. The only criteria was that the students were facing, and working hard, in overcoming adversity. We are stunned by your politically driven decision to remove such a thoughtful educator. This appears to be a vindictive action that you pushed through with maximum disregard for the students of this district. We are extremely disappointed, frustrated, and contemplating how to move forward with our Foundation. Dave and Becky Martin Castle Rock Do public business in public While DCSD Board President Peterson and Director Williams may not have violated the letter of the Colorado Sunshine Law (Colorado Open Meetings Law), they violated the spirit, by individually conspiring among the four newly elected school board directors, then by taking unsanctioned action by giving Superintendent

Stick with equity policy Douglas County’s newly elected school board directors have stirred opposition to the Educational Equity Policy (EEP) for political advantage, appearing on Fox News to falsely call it Critical Race Theory. Community stakeholders collaborated on the EEP over two years. It directs the district to develop “inclusive culture to ensure all students, staff, and community members feel safe and valued by increasing
and embedding authentic and relevant learning opportunities and experiences involving inclusion, diversity,equity,andaccessibility.” Even though the inclusive culture benefits all students, our new Directors have taken the advice of a national political group called FAIR and have directed staff to develop their own alternative policy. The evidence is clear that the EEP, as written, is imperative; in the last two years, a high school was tagged with the “n word,” a school board director endured racial slurs and physical aggression, and Colorado Community Media documented students’ experiences with racism in school. An anti-Muslim hate group is active in Highlands Ranch, and Colorado is third in the nation for youth-targeted white supremacist propaganda. Enough. We all agree our kids need to feel safe at school in order to thrive academically. Let’s trust our educators to effectively implement the EEP in line with our DCSD Strategic Plan. Let’s not cede local control to outside political operatives, again. Please let your BoE directors know that you support the original Educational Equity Policy.

They fired him. Just like that. After only two months in office, the four newly elected member-majority of the Douglas County School Board fired Superintendent Corey Wise in a hastily called Feb. 4 meeting. They did not cite his performance. They did not allow public comment. Exact motive for his swift removal was unclear. Unspoken. Troubling. And, just like that, a school district that like so many across the country has battled through a most challenging three years, was further upended, doubt, frustration and discouragement surging among so many exhausted but passionately committed teachers and an already polarized community. “It’s … heartbreaking and gutwrenching,” a 13-year teacher in the district said of Wise’s firing. “The thing I can’t get over is why? When they were asked over and over again why, it was a ‘lack of trust’ or a ‘different vision,’ but nothing about his work or ability to implement the directives of the board.” Wise has spent his 26-year career as a teacher and administrator in the district. He stepped in as co-leader and later interim superintendent of the district when former superintendent Thomas Tucker left in 2020. He was named permanent superintendent last April — the third superintendent in five years — following a national search. As with so much of the narrative surrounding school issues nationally the past three years, the situation in Douglas County is complex. As a community, we are variously passionate about where we stand on masks, COVID restrictions and equity policies, which along with transparent governance, repeatedly emerged as underlying themes during the Feb. 4 meeting. No doubt, we are a county and school district divided. But this is the thing: Shouldn’t our leaders embody the values of respect and integrity we teach in our classrooms? Shouldn’t they listen
to one another with open minds and seek common ground? I was a Douglas County teacher for 10 years — I retired last May. I loved my students. I loved being with them. They challenged me, made me laugh every day. Made me a better person. I miss them. Ann Macari We all brought Healey our backgrounds, life experiences and beliefs with us as we walked through the door. Those could show up in class discussions, conversations or unexpected blurted-out comments, as teenagers are sometimes prone to do (adults too!). Listening to each other without immediate judgment, being willing to acknowledge that others might think differently — and understanding those ideas were deserving of consideration — was important to creating a place of respect and learning. Students can be very good teachers. I expected students’ best work in return for the hard work and professionalism I gave them. I expected integrity in that work just as they expected it from me, an implicit contract that what we did and said was true and honest and trustworthy. So these are the values that I’m looking for from district leadership: Respect. Truth. Honesty. Trustworthiness. Yes, a four-vote majority wins and gets to hire the superintendent it wants. But they did so while trampling on these values. They didn’t bother to listen to views from teachers and parents and students. That was wrong. If you listen to the Feb. 4 board meeting, you’ll hear differing interpretations as to whether the Colorado Open Meetings Law was violated when majority board members asked
LETTERS
But to do so sneakily and in the dark demonstrates a lack of character and competence that should concern all Douglas County residents. Even worse, after receiving secret advice from the general counsel of a right-wing advocacy group, the board majority sought to circumvent Colorado’s Sunshine Laws by coming to a collective agreement among themselves, and taking collective action, while maintaining they “technically” didn’t violate Colorado’s Open Meeting Law because they only spoke to each other individually. The legislative direction for COML is to give it a broad interpretation to execute its intent, which Colorado courts have done. A competent judge will likely not be amused by this effort to circumvent transparency laws and find that the four majority board members violated the law by engaging in a “meeting” within the meaning of the statute. But one should not need laws to do the right thing. The day before the sick-out, more than 1600+ teachers had called in sick, with many more intending to call in that same morning. The board majority can listen to these 1600+ teachers now, or listen to 1600+ feet walking out of the district over the next nine months. The wise listen. Fools are deaf. Robert C. Marshall Highlands Ranch

not care so much. Only five years ago Douglas County voted out a group of conservative school board “reformers” because their six-year experiment in vouchers and other measures led to low morale and high attrition among school employees. And now Douglas County has voted them back in again. Can memories really be so short? n We are hardly a month into their a new term and already the new board h members have eliminated masking requirements, changed the district’s equity policy, held a potentially illegal meeting aimed at pushing out the district’s superintendent and provoked a sick-out among the district’s employees. Elections have consequences and Douglas County schools are about to pay the price for their voters short memories.

GUEST COLUMN
Wise to resign or face termination, as the minority board members allege. But there’s no doubt the move’s lack of transparency raised the specter of back-room sneakiness and politics at play. The spirit of the law most certainly was broken. And now Wise, widely respected and beloved throughout the school community for his dedication to ensuring teacher and student success, is gone. Many teachers and parents worry about a repeat of the exodus of hundreds of teachers and administrators that occurred in the years leading to the departure of Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen in 2016, caused by policies enacted by her and a conservative reform-minded board. “We will lose so many teachers and administrators, and rightfully so,” a 24year veteran teacher said. “Jeffco and CCSD (Cherry Creek School District) have certified job fairs the next couple of weekends. They will be flooded with excellent applicants from DCSD … People need to stay and fight, but at what cost?” The new board majority should remember that although it won 55% of the vote in November, 45% of voters supported the incumbent candidates — a clear reflection of the community’s division.
School board power seesaws as issues, politics and allegiances change over the years. That will, assuredly, continue to happen. But in these fraught times, we need leaders who purposefully work to represent all of us — even when that means decisions may not align neatly with personal beliefs — and whose actions are cause for applause, not tears. A 2017 graduate of Legend High School posted this comment on Facebook following the Feb. 4 meeting. She met Wise as a freshman, when he was the school’s principal. “I’ve seen so many changes in Douglas County, good and bad, but few have weighed so heavy in the hearts of this community as what took place at the board of education meeting tonight,” she wrote. “Leading a district is tough, and I don’t think anyone doubts that, but no single meeting or no single decision should leave so many teachers and so many families let down, heartbroken, and scared.” (Editor’s Note: Ann Healey is a former teacher at Castle View High School in the Douglas County School District.

LIFE
Local couples reflect on joys, challenges of working together BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Quality time is described as one of the five love languages, but couples must figure out how much time is best. For couples who work together, that can be challenging. Oftentimes, work dominates conversation and decision making at home. Disagreements from home linger at work, or vice versa. The couple coordinates work schedules around children or other responsibilities, while also trying to find time for date nights. Then again, who better to work alongside than someone who has the same values, goals, interests, motivations and work ethic? “Sometimes, it’s fun working together,” Dustin Barrett said. “Sometimes, it’s not.” Dustin and Amy Barrett own and operate Tables, a restaurant in Denver’s Park Hill area, and Amy said she couldn’t have done it during the last two years with anyone else. “He’s the only person I’d be in business with,” she said. Ali and Dave Meyers, who both teach at Evergreen High School, said they appreciate having someone who understands stories about work and can offer professional advice. “I’m very happy with my life, and I’m very happy with my wife,” Dave said. Justin and Tyler Fukae have been working shoulder to shoulder lately at their Georgetown store, Sabel. Tyler recently left his full-time job, and since then, he and Justin have been prioritizing Sabel and quality time as a couple. They’ve found their personalities and backgrounds perfectly complement each other. Justin focuses more on customer interaction and merchandise curation, and Tyler handles the store’s bookkeeping and management. “It’s like, `Look at what we created together,’” Justin said. “We see both of ourselves in it. I don’t think the store could run without both of us.” Amanda and Ryan Cooper, who run Cooper’s on the Creek in Georgetown, said they try not to let work impact their home life and vice versa. But, they acknowledged, the two are ultimately one and the same. SEE PARTNERS, P13
Lakewood’s Tyler and Justin Fukae opened Sabel in Georgetown last year and are launching a second location on Denver’s South Pearl Street. The two said the business, which offers products that are both sustainable and practical, combines both of their talents and is something one couldn’t run without the other. “We see both of ourselves in it,” Justin said.

PARTNERS FROM PAGE 12
“I think strong partners in life make strong business partners,” Ryan said. “Both kinds disagree, but you get through it because you have come to a consensus.” Running Tables Amy and Dustin Barrett’s wedding registry included items they wanted for their restaurant, Tables. The two opened the chic American eatery at 2267 Kearney St. in 2005 and were married a few months later. The two met while working at Denver’s Strings restaurant, where Amy hired Dustin. When they initially opened Tables, the two were in the kitchen together, but Amy moved to more front-of-house duties when they had their daughter. The Barretts, who live a few blocks away from Tables, said every evening at the restaurant is unique. There’s an adrenaline rush to the business, Amy explained, as variables evolve throughout the night. The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent employment and supply chain crunches have been some of the toughest challenges they’ve ever faced in their working lives.
Amy said it’s been even more difficult than when Tables first opened, and it’s required a lot of problem solving, Dustin added. Still, they’d rather work together than work for anyone else, the Barretts said. They understand each other’s decisions, and there’s an existing level of trust between them, Amy said. While Dustin said he’s seen other couples’ relationships suffer from working together, he and Amy have accepted that their work lives and home lives are intertwined. “This place is part of us,” Dustin said of Tables. Chemistry in biology class Evergreen’s Ali and Dave Meyers say they have more in common than just biology. They’re both former college athletes, and they both love outdoor activities. The two met 18 years ago while working at Evergreen High School. Ali, who’s an EHS alumna, described how they were initially friends until Dave asked her out. Now, they’ve been married 12 years and have two children. And though they work at the same school, the two don’t really work together. He and Ali work with their respective students and have minimal interaction throughout the school day. Still, the biggest hurdle has been scheduling, they said. Dave, who teaches honors and AP biology, described how they’ll have parent-teacher conferences
at the same time and need to find someone to watch their children. However, having the same work schedule also means they have the same days off. Ali, a former biology teacher who’s now an intervention specialist, said being in the same profession means she and Dave have the same values. They’ve ultimately helped each other become better teachers. “My life is here; it doesn’t feel like a job,” she said. “My friends and family are here. My community is here.” Feeling like home After being busy with work, school and military service, Lakewood’s Justin and Tyler Fukae wanted to start a business together. The two met almost five years ago in New Orleans. Justin moved frequently for military service, but once he was discharged, the two started Sabel last year. The store at 507 Taos St. in Georgetown offers sustainable yet practical wares, and the Fukaes are opening a second location on Denver’s South Pearl Street. Before leaving his job last month, Tyler worked on Sabel in his spare time. Now, they’re enjoying working side by side in Georgetown and wonder how the second location will impact that dynamic. Tyler said he’s enjoyed seeing a side of Justin he usually doesn’t — in his element at Sabel. For anyone looking to start a business with their significant
other, Justin recommended: “It’s about knowing your talents, about respecting them, and trusting that they’ll do their part.” Stars align over Clear Creek If someone had asked Georgetown’s Amanda and Ryan Cooper 15 years ago if they could work together, they would’ve said “no.” But, as Amanda said, “It’s different when it’s your livelihood and something you build together.” The Coopers have worked in the service and hospitality industry their entire careers and met 19 years ago while working at a San Diego restaurant. They married 12 years ago and moved to Denver, where Amanda is from. In September 2015, they were asked to consult for someone opening a restaurant in Georgetown and were eventually invited to run it. They decided they would do it if everything fell into place, and it did. The building’s major renovations were completed, the funding came through and Cooper’s on the Creek opened in July 2016. Amanda serves as the general manager, while Ryan makes Colorado-inspired American fare as the executive chef. With two kids, Amanda’s worked from home as needed, so she and Ryan aren’t always at work simultaneously. She said operating the restaurant together, though, requires constant support, reciprocal respect and compromise. “We’re lucky,” Ryan said. “Not everybody can work together like this.”

SPORTS Valor, Regis fight hard to tie in hockey
L
1-1 contest between prominent teams featured fierce competition BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Valor Christian’s boys hockey coach George Gwozdecky got what he was seeking in the Feb. 1 game against Regis Jesuit at the South Suburban Sports Complex. Oh for sure, Gwozdecky would have preferred a victory, but the 1-1 tie against the Raiders was the tough, hard-fought game that he figured his team needed. Regis and Valor are two of the state’s prominent hockey programs. The Raiders, five-time state champions who have at least made it to the semifinals for 14 straight seasons, entered the game second in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A state rankings. The Valor Eagles, which has captured the state title the past two years, was ranked fourth in the state poll. “I was really hoping to have a really high-intensity, competitive game for us because we needed it,” said Gwozdecky. “We needed a tough game where we had to figure out ways to overcome adversity. Certainly Regis gave us that.” Regis held a 32-23 edge in shots on goal, including a 11-3 advanatge in the opening period. The Raiders got the first goal when Carter Lutz scored just nine seconds into the second pe-

Valor Christian hockey coach George Gwozdecky took time after the second period to talk with Ben Larson, 18, Chase Whitmore, 25, and Jack Majewski, 24, during the game against Regis Jesuit on Feb. 1.

riod. Caden Balatbat and Jacob Zinno assisted on the goal. Valor tied the game at the 14:66 mark of the second with a shorthanded goal by Noah Fekete, who is the team’s leading scorer with 19 points. Owen Walsh picked up an assist to give him 17 points on the season. “Our first period without a doubt was our poorest period,” said Gwozdecky. “We made some adjustments after the first period and because of those adjustments we were able to
put more pressure on Regis and we started getting our game going. “They scored first and we were chasing the game from that point on. It was certainly what the doctor ordered as far as what we needed. It was a test for us.” Raiders goaltender Gage Bussey made 22 saves in the game while Valor’s Cooper Robinson stopped 31 shots. Valor outshot the Raiders 4-2 in the overtime session. “I thought our goaltender played
well and I thought Bussey played well in their goal,” added Gwozdecky. “Both teams had chances coming down the stretch. We hit three crossbars. I think both teams expected to battle like that.” Both teams had three games remaining in the regular season and after the tie, Regis’ record was 13-1-2. Valor was 11-3-1. “It was a good game,” said veteran Regis coach Dan Woodley. “Both teams had chances.”
Coach has high hopes for Littleton girls Hoops squad reaches 12-4 record for season after beating Evergreen BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Littleton’s girls basketball team is loaded with underclass talent and coach Adam Williams hopes the Lions can be a team in the late season that will be a factor. The Lions improved their season record to 12-4 on Feb. 4 with a 50-30 Jefferson County 4A League win over Evergreen in the Littleton gym. “We worked really hard for a really long time and for whatever reason we got all these kids at the same time,” said Williams. “We have a lot of talent. With that being said, we have some seniors that are really good. “We are young and inexperienced but we’ve had some really good experiences the last couple weeks to overcome adversity.” Littleton has four seniors, two juniors, five sophomores and two freshman listed on its varsity
o f f w s w o m
roster. After league losses to Green Mountain, ranked fourth in the CHSAANow.com Class 4A state ratings, and 10th-ranked D’Evelyn, Williams feels his team is ready to wrap up the season and look forward to the state playoffs. “We can definitely play with those teams,” said Williams. “We can do it especially when we’re hitting shots. We can play with almost anybody in 4A. “We’ve done some things. We’re trying to pressure more and be more of a pressure team, which I usually like to play.” Sophomore Daysha Sagrillo, a 6-foot-1 power foward, agrees. “We can definitely play with those teams,” she said. “We just need to bring it all and play 100 percent all the time. We’re capable of doing that. We just have to work hard every day. Our coach helps with that. I’m not surprised by how we are doing.” Littleton didn’t shoot well against Evergreen (37%) but still won easily. Sophomore Penny Urquhart, a 5-9 shooting guard, paced the Lions with 17 points and eight rebounds. Sagrillo, who limped off

the floor with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter, had 12 points. Marlee Hernandez-priest added 10 points. Littleton’s defense forced 13 steals with Urquhart, Sagrillo and Jacy Chandler each getting three steals. “We played tough,” added Williams. “It was not one of our better shooting nights. We found other ways to score. We have a lot
of kids that can score. “I thought defensively we played amazingly. To hold Jameson (Mott) to three points is amazing. We played a little box and one in the first half and then straight man in the second. She had only one point in the second half.” Evergreen’s Jameson Mott came into the game as one of the league’s top five scorers with a 16.9 scoring average.

Do you remember the time?
L
ast week a good friend of mine and former neighbor, Steve, posted something on his Facebook page. It was a story of road trips he would take with his family and all the sights, sounds and feelings that were shared along the way. And more importantly his message was about the memories that were created and how looking back on them now, they held even deeper meaning. Having grown up with grandparents who liked to take long road trips too, his story inspired me to reflect on some of those trips. And it also gave me a reason to ask my own children what they remembered and enjoyed the most about our own cross-country trips each year. I wondered and hoped that one day that they would also look back on our many journeys with happy memories. Memories that perhaps shaped their lives today. And it’s more than road trips, isn’t it? Doesn’t it just feel incredible when we can reflect on life’s experiences that we enjoyed with our family and friends? Isn’t it wonderful when a sound, sight, or even smell
brings us back to a place and time that fills us with joy? Or an old photograph we find while cleaning out our desk, basement, office, or attic. This happened to me recently as I was reorganizing my office. I would pause as I found photos of Michael Norton friends and family and explore the picture and the scenery and remember exactly what was happening when the picture was taken. Recently I was spending time with a friend who was grieving the loss of a loved one. Their family member had lived a full and good life. As we talked, cried and laughed, I asked them what they remembered most about the family member who had passed away. My friend reflected for a moment and then started rattling off all the best and funniest memories that they had had together. Tears welled up in their eyes when they remembered the sweetest moments, and even the most difficult seasons
WINNING WORDS
of life. Do you remember the times that you have experienced with your family and friends? Do you allow yourself the time to revisit and reflect on your good and happy memories? I share this with you because at a time where many are feeling the stresses of the past two years, we need to remember that even during these trying times, we have plenty of opportunities to create new, happy and lasting memories. And one day, we will all look back on this season of life and ask the person sitting with us, “Do you remember the time when during the pandemic we…?” The choices we make today will be the events we remember tomorrow and in the years that follow. The life and the trips and the stories we write today will be told amongst our family and friends in the future. And one day when we are all sitting around the table or in the car on a road trip, we will be asking that same question, “Do you remember the time when we…?” What would you like those conversations to feel like and sound like? What do you hope your family
members and friends will remember most about your time together? I love this quote by Maya Angelou that underscores this point, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” How do you want people to feel when they remember their time spent with you? Road trips, vacations, conferences, Sunday family dinner, game night, movie night, church, dinner out with friends, birthday parties, weddings, anniversary celebrations, funerals and memorial services, and just life in general give us so many opportunities to create and capture so many beautiful and wonderful memories. What are your favorite memories? I would love to hear all about them at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we take the time to focus on those beautiful memories, it really will be a better than good year.

ny and all muscles lose their strength if they’re not used. Even comedic ones. So, when it comes to putting on a production after two very strange years, it’s understandable that rust needed to be shaken off at first. “All of us haven’t flexed these muscles in a while,” said Geoffrey Kent, who is directing “The Liar,” the first show at the Arvada Center of 2022. “The process might have started a little slower than normal, but the central muscle of the theater is collaboration. We’re learning to collaborate together again.” “The Liar” - the first of the Arvada Center’s three repertory shows for the season - runs at the center’s Black Box Theatre, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through Sunday, May 22. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, 1 p.m. on Wednesday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Audiences are required to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 and must always wear a mask. The comedy is written by David Ives and adapted from a 17th-century play by French playwright Pierre Corneille hilariously demonstrates the reason many of the romantic comedy cliches have stuck around as long as they have. Because they still work, centuries later. A string of misunderstandings, mistaken identities and outright fabrications build to laughs aplenty, all moved forward

several hundred years to 1960s Paris. “I like moving plays to places where audiences can connect to them. I don’t want people to get nothing out of it thinking, `Gee that was a long time ago and we’re not like that anymore,’” Clarke Reader Kent said. “The sets and costumes are glorious and overall, I think the word is euphoria. The show is loose and free like in the 1960s and audiences should leave the play in a great mood and ready to be adventurous.” It’s also fitting that “The Liar” premiered not long before Valentine’s Day because it celebrates the humor and power of searching for love - something that has inspired and entertained as long as we’ve been telling stories. After all, there’s a reason romantic comedies are so popular - because it’s fun (and dare I say it, moving) to watch people fall in love. “There’s no other production of this show like ours and I’m excited to see it grow over its run,” Kent said. “The show isn’t just escapist - it can be empowering to see a bunch of people fall in love because it reminds

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Kacey Musgraves at the Pepsi Center It’s not often that one of the strongest voices in pop and country are encapsulated by the same person, but that’s been the case (wink wink nudge nudge) since Kacey Musgraves released her breakthrough album “Golden Hour” in 2018. Last year she finally released “star-crossed,” the ying to “Golden Hour’s” yang. The new album is more far-reaching and adventurous than any of her previous work, but her knack for melody and lyricism remains as vibrant as ever. In support of the album Musgraves is finally taking to the road with a brief tour and fortunately for all of us, Denver is one of the stops. She’ll be joined by openers King Princess and MUNA at the Pepsi Center, 1000 Chopper Circle in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 16. Get tickets at www.ticketmaster.com.
