A judge on Wednesday ordered the four majority members of Douglas County School District’s Board of Education to follow Colorado’s open meetings laws, including prohibiting them from having one-on-one meetings to discuss district business privately.
The preliminary injunction, issued by Douglas County District Judge Jeffrey Holmes, comes after a Highlands Ranch resident filed a lawsuit against the school board members,in late January to discuss replacing former Superintendent Corey Wise.
Robert Marshall filed the lawsuit against the directors — Mike Peterson, Christy Williams, Becky Myers and Kaylee Winegar — after the board’sin their efforts to fire Wise. “The evidence indicates that four members of the board collectively committed, outside of public meetings, to the termination of Wise’s employment,” Holmes wrote in the injunction. “The fact that no public comment was permitted at the February 4th meeting is additional evidence of the commitment to their course of action.”
