Dozens of Denver Public School administrators lost their jobs on Tuesday.
A district spokesperson confirmed with CBS4 that it impacted at least 131 people in the Central Office.
On Tuesday, Superintendent Dr. Alex Marrero sent a letter out to staff saying the reductions are part of his re-organization plan. He wrote that the lost jobs are in response to the district’s declining enrollment and its direct impact on the budget. It’s unclear if more lay offs are coming or what specific DPS departments were targeted. The district first notified staff of its plan to resize in February.
CBS4 spoke to several administrators off camera about the layoffs but none of them wanted to speak on-camera because of fear of retaliation. Some also said district officials asked them to sign non-disclosure agreements. “We’d rather make sure we prioritize those funds to make sure that those funds are going to our schools, to our teachers and making sure that we have teachers in the classrooms for our students,” said Gould.
