When three future members of the Denver Public Schools\u2019 Board of Education took to the debate stage at Regis University a month before last year\u2019s election, they faced a crucial question about the management of Colorado\u2019s largest K-12 district.<\/p>\n

Did they think Superintendent Alex Marrero was doing a good job? <\/p>\n

Two of the soon-to-be directors \u2014 Amy Klein Molk and Donald \u201cD.J.\u201d Torres \u2014 largely kept their opinions about Marrero close to the vest, while Monica Hunter levied criticism without revealing whether she would seek to replace the superintendent before his contract ran out in 2028.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s doing a fine job,\u201d Torres said during the\u00a0October debate. \u201cIs there more to be done? Definitely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, nine months into the job, Marrero and the new school board members \u2014 who have the ability to sway the seven-member governing body\u2019s majority \u2014 are struggling to work together as a lack of trust pervades DPS leadership, fueling speculation that Marrero may not be long for the superintendent\u2019s job.<\/p>\n

Matters could come to a head as soon as Monday, when the board has a special meeting scheduled. Directors plan to gather in closed session with an outside attorney to discuss their \u201clegal rights and obligations in connection with the superintendent contract,\u201d then bring in Marrero to discuss the board\u2019s relationship with him, according to the agenda. <\/p>\n

Marrero himself called the situation \u201cincreasingly untenable\u201d in a June 8 letter to school board President X\u00f3chitl Gayt\u00e1n, complaining that directors are overstepping their authority when it comes to DPS\u2019s day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, board members question Marrero\u2019s commitment to the district as well as the timing and intent of the superintendent\u2019s letter, which Marrero sent just before revealing to the board that he had applied for a job in Miami. \t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to tolerate having someone with one foot in and one foot out,\u201d Molk said in a recent interview. \u201cI have been concerned since he was looking for a job in Chicago last year. I thought that we had put that to rest, and now that it is coming up again makes me question his commitment to Denver.\u201d<\/p>\n

Board members interviewed by The Denver Post declined to say whether they are considering firing Marrero or are looking to negotiate a separation agreement with him. Such a decision carries a price tag of at least $346,529, and voting to terminate him without cause would require a supermajority of at least five board members.<\/p>\n

In interviews with The Post, directors didn\u2019t dismiss the possibility that Marrero\u2019s time at the district may be coming to an end, a notable difference from their predecessors who repeatedly extended Marrero\u2019s contract and were known to heap praise on the superintendent when they faced calls from community members to replace him.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce this conversation unfolds, I think, everything should be an option like it always is,\u201d Torres said of Monday\u2019s meeting. \u201cIt\u2019s our right as a board to question our superintendent\u2019s leadership and accountability to DPS, so I\u2019m willing and very ready to have that conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Marrero declined an interview request, saying \u201cit would be inappropriate for me to discuss these matters with the media when I have yet to have the opportunity to engage with the Board of Education directly.\u201d He also declined to answer a list of questions sent by The Post.<\/p>\n

Gayt\u00e1n declined an interview request as well, but said in a statement that Monday\u2019s meeting will enable board members to address the concerns outlined by Marrero in his June letter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis approach ensures the full board and the superintendent can participate in a constructive discussion focused on governance, accountability and maintaining the strong working relationship necessary to serve Denver Public Schools and its students,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

Different opinions on the board\u2019s role<\/h4>\n

DPS superintendents are employees of the school board, which in turn has the authority to extend their employment or fire them.<\/p>\n

Board members are elected officials with term limits who don\u2019t always have a background in education or in running a $1.5 billion operation with just under 90,000 students and thousands more employees. But they have constituents who voted them into office, often because they want the new directors to enact change to the school system. <\/p>\n

This dynamic automatically makes it challenging to build trust between district staffers and board members, said an employee who works in DPS\u2019s central office downtown \u2014 one of two administrative staffers who spoke to The Post for this story on the condition of anonymity because they feared retaliation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s this deficit of trust, and we have four years to get (school board members) on board,\u201d the employee said. \u201c\u2026There are some new voices on the board, well-intentioned, but not necessarily respecting the operational model (of the district).\u201d<\/p>\n

The district\u2019s governance model is supposed to help define the roles of the superintendent and school board. Under the model \u2014 called policy governance \u2014 directors are supposed to set goals they want the district to achieve rather than issue directives to the superintendent.<\/p>\n

The method is supposed to give Marrero flexibility on how to achieve what board members want while avoiding micromanaging \u2014 which is the reason policy governance was implemented in the wake of Superintendent Susana C\u00f3rdova\u2019s resignation in 2020.<\/p>\n

Former Denver mayors Michael Hancock and Federico Pe\u00f1a wrote a scathing letter after C\u00f3rdova\u2019s resignation, blaming the school board for mistreating the superintendent during meetings and interfering with the day-to-day management of DPS. <\/p>\n

Marrero has a strict interpretation of policy governance, meaning he believes the actual running of the district is off-limits to individual board members and that directors are overstepping their authority by wanting to wade into things, such as student literacy and school operations, he wrote in his June 8 letter.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026I remain concerned by continued discussions and actions that appear to move the board further into operational matters than policy oversight,\u201d the superintendent wrote.<\/p>\n

Molk said she mostly agrees with Marrero\u2019s belief that the school board\u2019s job is to set the vision of the district and hold the superintendent accountable. If implemented properly, she said, the governance model should give the superintendent the autonomy he needs to do his job.<\/p>\n

But, she said, board members also have constituents they have to answer to. \u201cThat\u2019s where the real frustration lies as a board member: having the best intentions and, then, it\u2019s like you\u2019re overstepping by talking to community and relaying it back,\u201d Molk said.<\/p>\n

Hunter, who was also elected to the board last year, called DPS\u2019s implementation of policy governance \u201can extreme interpretation\u201d that has turned the school board into a policymaking body, like a legislative office, rather than one that is focused on literacy rates and parents\u2019 concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do think that, maybe, having a board that expects a little more accountability has been challenging,\u201d Hunter said.<\/p>\n

One example of how Hunter views her role differently than Marrero is in her office hours at schools, which the director holds to talk with teachers and other employees. She takes any concerns she has heard during those visits to the superintendent, according to both Hunter and the central office employee.<\/p>\n

District staffers believe Hunter\u2019s school visits are an overstep and conflict of interest because she holds the office hours as part of her job as the director of human and civil rights with the Colorado Education Association \u2014 the state\u2019s largest teachers union \u2014 but also serves as the school board\u2019s vice president.<\/p>\n

Hunter disagrees.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will talk to anyone who wants to talk to me who is in my district,\u201d she said. \u201c\u2026I want to make sure the role I hold is accessible.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his June 8 letter, Marrero accused board members of not speaking to each other, canceling meetings because they don\u2019t like the other director present and what he called \u201ca litany of ongoing interpersonal issues.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is why I have characterized the current trajectory as increasingly untenable,\u201d the superintendent wrote.<\/p>\n

\u2018I don\u2019t trust his commitment to Denver\u2019<\/h4>\n

Both central office employees who spoke to The Post pushed back on assertions that the superintendent has checked out of the job, saying that Marrero is moving forward with trying to get a $44 million mill levy override on November\u2019s ballot and expanding career and technical options for students.<\/p>\n

But, they said, Marrero feels like he\u2019s being pulled in seven different directions by board members who want to wade into operational matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the situation continues, it would be hard for him to stay,\u201d one of the employees said. \u201cI think the job he likes, I think the work he likes. I think there\u2019s some frustration around the board\u2019s treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his June email to Gayt\u00e1n, Marrero said the board violated his contract by not following policy governance and by initially excluding him from an executive session \u2014 which is closed to the public \u2014 earlier this year. Marrero\u2019s contract, which the board renewed last year, states that he and the board will operate under the governance model, meaning that \u201cthe board will avoid telling the superintendent or staff what to do or how to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The email is notable because if the board decides it no longer wants to use policy governance, Marrero\u2019s contract allows him to end his employment with the district. In such a scenario, he is required to give the board a 30-day notice before resigning, raising questions about whether the superintendent intended to place the board on alert with his email last month. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt could be this is just a kerfuffle and he sticks around,\u201d said Van Schoales, senior policy director at Keystone Policy Center, a Colorado nonprofit that conducts education research. \u201cBut I think it\u2019s highly unlikely he\u2019s going to be here in a couple of years. The question is, does he make it to the fall?\u201d<\/p>\n

Likewise, if the board wants to terminate Marrero\u2019s employment without cause, it is required to provide him with a 60-day notice before scheduling a vote and pay him a severance with an entire year\u2019s salary as well as his retirement and other benefits.<\/p>\n

The board and Marrero could also reach an agreement to separate at any time, according to his contract.<\/p>\n

Board members said they called Monday\u2019s meeting\u00a0despite being on their annual July break to discuss the superintendent\u2019s concerns.<\/p>\n

Directors want to better understand \u201cthe plausible pathways and outcomes that might occur\u201d under Marrero\u2019s contract, board member John Youngquist said. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe has represented an interest in some sort of separation,\u201d he said of Marrero. \u201cThe board has not had a conversation that is related to that. All of this has happened since the board met last, so we haven\u2019t been able to engage in these conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Directors have hired an outside attorney, Kristen Edgar, to advise them during the meeting. The board has a policy that prevents the district\u2019s general counsel from representing the board or superintendent in legal matters between the two, including when negotiating his contract. <\/p>\n

The policy was put in place so that directors can hire a third party when there is a conflict of interest involving the district\u2019s legal counsel, who reports to the superintendent, and an item presented to the board, said member Kimberlee Sia. She declined to comment about the board\u2019s meeting and Marrero\u2019s future. <\/p>\n

The board is still working to find a permanent outside attorney to hire, so it contracted with Edgar, who it has worked with before, for Monday\u2019s meeting, Gayt\u00e1n said.<\/p>\n

In interviews, board members acknowledged the trust issues between themselves and the superintendent. Several said they are questioning whether Marrero wants to stay at DPS, considering he recently applied for the superintendency at Miami-Dade County Public Schools in Florida, a move that came less than a year after he was a finalist for a similar job in Chicago. <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t trust his commitment to Denver,\u201d Molk said.<\/p>\n

Marrero failed to become a semifinalist for the Miami position, which the Miami Herald reported was because the Denver superintendent did not have experience teaching in a classroom. Marrero hinted in a statement that he believes he didn\u2019t get the job because of his support of immigrant students and LGBTQ pupils.<\/p>\n

In November, Marrero was a finalist to become Chicago Public Schools\u2019 next CEO before withdrawing his name after news of his candidacy leaked. The superintendent has insisted he did not seek out the position himself. <\/p>\n

\u201cI never applied for the superintendent position in Chicago,\u201d Marrero said in a statement to The Post. \u201cI was approached by the search firm and asked to speak with them about the job. I did speak formally with members of the search committee and board. To be clear, I did not seek out this position and proactively removed my name from consideration.\u201d<\/p>\n

A New Yorker in Denver<\/h4>\n

Marrero, 43, has faced criticism from educators and others in Denver ever since he was\u00a0hired in 2021 to succeed C\u00f3rdova.<\/p>\n

A group of Latino leaders and other community members didn\u2019t think the East Coaster understood the American West and Chicano culture enough to lead DPS. They also thought Marrero was inexperienced at running a large school district when he was hired.<\/p>\n

Marrero, a native of the Bronx, previously served as interim superintendent for the City School District of New Rochelle in New York before moving to Denver.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Marrero should never have been hired by DPS in the first place,\u201d said Pe\u00f1a, the former mayor and frequent critic of Marrero. \u201c\u2026He was not prepared to come to this very significantly larger school district that was far more complex.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marrero\u2019s critics say test scores and literacy rates for students of color aren\u2019t where they should be. Some still question whether Marrero ever adapted to Denver, saying he hasn\u2019t done enough to build relationships with mayors, City Council members and other community leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe doesn\u2019t care about the outdoors,\u201d Schoales said. \u201cHe\u2019s not a hiker. He doesn\u2019t drive a Subaru.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marrero has also found himself at odds with\u00a0school board members and city officials over school closures and armed police in schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a big job for him and, I think, there have been wins for him for sure,\u201d Molk said. \u201cBut one thing I don\u2019t think he\u2019s ever effectively succeeded at is managing the board.\u201d<\/p>\n

Past and present board members, including Gayt\u00e1n, are among Marrero\u2019s supporters. They say the superintendent has traits that make him an ideal leader of DPS, a liberal district where more than half of the students are Latino: Marrero is Afro-Latino, bilingual in Spanish and a strong advocate for improving equity for students of color. <\/p>\n

Marrero\u2019s gone head-to-head with the Trump administration by suing the federal government to prevent immigration raids in schools, and defied the U.S. Department of Education\u2019s order to convert gender-neutral bathrooms into restrooms for girls. <\/p>\n

Last year, DPS students\u2019 test scores and graduation rates earned the district one of the top ratings available on the state\u2019s academic framework for the first time since 2019. <\/p>\n

\u201cFrom day one, he faced criticism challenging his legitimacy,\u201d former board member Auon\u2019tai Anderson said about Marrero. \u201c\u2026He\u2019s never got a fair shake here.\u201d <\/p>\n

Marrero has also been able to win over community leaders, such as the Latino Education Coalition. Hancock, whose tenure as mayor overlapped with Marrero\u2019s, also disagreed with the assertion that the superintendent hasn\u2019t built relationships in the community. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen him work tirelessly to build relationships,\u201d Hancock said. \u201c\u2026We had a chance to really work on things when there were difficult decisions we had to make. I\u2019ve always appreciated that about him. We had a good working relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unexpected alliances<\/h4>\n

DPS school boards are known for their members\u2019 big personalities, public infighting and micromanaging of superintendents.<\/p>\n

But the conflict taking place now has somewhat surprised education insiders who expected the members of the board\u2019s majority to be more supportive of Marrero given they weren\u2019t the candidates openly criticizing him during last year\u2019s election.<\/p>\n

All four of the candidates elected to the school board last year were technically on the same side as they were all backed by the Denver Classroom Teachers Association. Gayt\u00e1n, a known supporter of Marrero\u2019s, was the only incumbent re-elected to the board last year.<\/p>\n

Of the three new members, Hunter was the most critical of the superintendent during the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see the data. We see that our Black and Latino students are not performing,\u201d she said during the October debate. \u201cWe see that some of the dysfunction has gotten in the way of putting students first.\u201d <\/p>\n

Instead, alliances on the new school board have formed across the old union vs reform battle lines. The three new members have sided more frequently with Youngquist than with Gayt\u00e1n when voting this year.<\/p>\n

Youngquist was\u00a0elected in 2023 and his campaign was backed by a deep-pocketed group that supports charter schools and other education reform methods.<\/p>\n

The board\u2019s majority and its leadership are \u201coften at odds,\u201d Torres said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s\u2026 6-1 votes with one person being the outlier consistently throughout those votes,\u201d he said. \u201cJust not with the alignments that we were told that we would have.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the trust that the collective board has with the superintendent is muddied because of various relationships (Marrero) has with board members,\u201d Torres added.<\/p>\n

Gayt\u00e1n supports Marrero as superintendent, while Youngquist and the superintendent have historically not gotten along.<\/p>\n

Marrero has accused Youngquist of wanting his job, ignoring board protocol and of directing district staffers. The superintendent also requested that the board censure \u2014 or formally reprimand \u2014 the director for his behavior to employees. The former school board did just that last year after an outside investigation found Youngquist\u2019s behavior to be \u201cbelittling, dismissive and condescending\u201d toward DPS staff.<\/p>\n

Youngquist, in turn, has accused DPS leaders, including Marrero, of retaliation.<\/p>\n

The new DPS board has \u201ca much more objective look\u201d at the superintendent and his leadership than past boards, Youngquist said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a board that is more connected and more engaged together\u2026 than I\u2019ve seen in a long while,\u201d he said. \u201c\u2026The new board members coming on are less interested in conversations that are divisive and are truly focused on conversations that are inclusive and engaging together and focused on the needs of our children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marrero sent a second email to Gayt\u00e1n in July, imploring the board to operate within the district\u2019s governance framework. This time, his complaints were levied solely against Youngquist, who had asked the superintendent to send him districtwide discipline data, test scores and attendance information broken down by grade levels and student groups.<\/p>\n

The superintendent, who noted he was on pre-approved time off, took issue not only with Youngquist\u2019s request \u2014 which he called \u201csubstantial\u201d \u2014 but the fact that it was made during the board\u2019s yearly sabbatical in July, according to his email. <\/p>\n

Under the district policy, the superintendent can refuse individual board members\u2019 requests for information that he believes take up too much staff time or are unreasonable, Marrero wrote in his email. The data, he said, is already scheduled to be presented to the board in the coming months.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, if the board\u2019s historical July practice or expectations regarding my availability and staff responsiveness during pre-approved time off have changed, please let me know,\u201d Marrero wrote. \u201cI should not be left to infer a shift in expectations from a series of individual director requests accompanied by unilateral deadlines.\u201d<\/p>\n
