Defiance, disruption marks raucous Douglas County school board meeting
CASTLE ROCK — More than 100 parents, students and community members turned out Tuesday for a raucous school board meeting in Douglas County, defiantly continuing the calls of the past few months for two board members to step down.
Mass chants for the resignations of Meghann Silverthorn and Judith Reynolds interrupted Tuesday’s board meeting at one point, shutting down proceedings for nearly 30 minutes as people were led out of the room.
Silverthorn abruptly adjourned the meeting a few minutes later as audience members continued to shout “resign” from the gallery.
The calls to step down came less than 24 hours after an investigative report, released late Monday, cleared Reynolds and Silverthorn of violating district policy when they met privately with 15-year-old Ponderosa High student Grace Davis regarding a protest she was spearheading.
