Denver School Board Seeks 2nd Meeting in 2 Weeks on Alex Marrero's Employment

Summary
A Denver school board majority is pushing for a 9 a.m. Wednesday special meeting to discuss Superintendent Alex Marrero’s employment and possible future district leadership action.
Monica Hunter said board President Xóchitl Gaytán failed to publicly notice an earlier requested meeting despite majority support, prompting Secretary Marlene De La Rosa to be asked to post next week’s session.
Nearly 4 hours of closed-door talks Monday on Marrero’s contract and performance ended with no employment change, but the new request would reopen the issue for a second time in two weeks.
The dispute follows Marrero’s letter accusing directors of overstepping into day-to-day operations, while some board members have also questioned his commitment after he pursued jobs in Miami and Chicago.
