DENVER, Colo. - The Denver school board has hired a marriage counselor to deal with rifts exposed after a rancorous meeting with newly elected members.
At the meeting Monday, new board member Andrea Merida voted against reforms at a troubled middle school. She and other opponents question whether the reforms, which were approved, are legal.
The board will meet with a marital counselor at a special meeting Thursday at the five-star Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs to sort through the disputes.
Board member Theresa Pena says confidential personnel matters were removed from the agenda, so the meeting will be open to the public. She says that even before Monday, she and others had discussed working with a consultant on leadership development.
