The incumbent Board members (Ron Mitchell, Brad Rupert and Susan Harmon) violated District policy by electioneering on District property at the candidate forum on September 13th.
Yes, that’s right, the people who establish and approve District policies and definitely know better, violated their own policy by placing at least 4 sets of campaign signs on the Wheat Ridge campus.
Much like the District’s ignoring the compliance requirements of state law (SB 191 – https://www.chalkbeat.org/posts/co/2017/07/11/jeffco-public-schools-diverging-from-state-law-on-timeline-for-evaluating-teachers/) because it thinks the law is “ridiculous” and isn’t applicable, maybe the incumbent Board members feel that the District policy regarding electioneering on District property isn’t applicable to them. It makes sense since the culture within a District starts at the top.
I’d prefer to have a Board composed of members who don’t think they are above their own policies and follow the rules.
