Denver Public Schools tonight will embark on a new era in what may be the district's most pivotal school board meeting in decades.
The old board, with three members about to vacate their seats, will vote on a host of ambitious reforms recommended by the administration, including turnaround plans for six schools and placement of new charter schools.
Minutes after that vote, a new board will be sworn in — adding three new faces to the seven-member board.
Speculation is rife over what both boards will do.
Will the old board approve all of the controversial reforms? Will the new board overturn the old board's fresh decisions? And which member will be voted in as school board president — Nate Easley Jr., Jeannie Kaplan or incumbent Theresa Peña?
