Superintendent vs Board Over Contract | Denver News

Superintendent Alex Marrero’s contract dispute with the school board is heating up, with potential financial fallout as he claims the board violated his agreement—possibly letting him walk away with a full year’s salary. He accuses them of micromanagement and failure to follow their own governance model. The board is finally setting a July 27th meeting to address it, though some members pushed for an earlier emergency session, citing contractual deadlines. Board President Xóchitl Gaytán disputes that deadline existed and says Marrero told her his letter wasn’t meant to trigger it. Meanwhile, Vice President Monica Hunter and others say they weren’t told that and felt compelled to respond quickly. Marrero says the board hasn’t meaningfully addressed his concerns and applied for another superintendent role the day after sending his letter—raising eyebrows and fueling the drama.
