Denver Superintendent’s Exit Crisis | Denver News

Denver Public Schools is in turmoil as Superintendent Alex Marrero, with just seven weeks until the new school year, is reportedly preparing to leave for a job in Miami, citing a broken contract and micromanagement by the school board. He claims his position is “untenable” and has given the board until July 8 to respond — or risk him walking away with full benefits under a contractual clause. While some see this as a potential “911 emergency,” others believe Marrero may still want to stay and fix things, despite criticism over widening achievement gaps during his tenure. The board, which recently raised the firing threshold to a supermajority, hasn’t scheduled a meeting to address his concerns — a move that could reshape the district’s leadership for years to come.
