Denver Public Schools: Update On Director Anderson And Board Investigation

Press release from the Denver Public Schools:

May 30, 2021

Director Tay Anderson’s fellow DPS Board members agree with his decision to step back from routine board functions and events until the conclusion of the investigation authorized by the Board on April 6. Director Anderson will continue to vote on necessary matters before the Board including the hiring of a new superintendent.

The Board encourages anyone with relevant information to reach out to the Investigations Law Group at interviews@ilgdenver.com.  It is critically important that all individuals feel safe and supported to participate in this process, and the Board will use any and all authority it has to protect those who participate. Retaliation or intimidation of witnesses will not be tolerated and the district will report any witness intimidation or harassment to the police.

We seek the truth and are committed to a fair and thorough process for all currently involved and anyone who is considering whether they should step forward.
