The pro-charter political action committee has spent more than 20 times as much supporting Marisol Lynda Rodriguez as a union-backed group has put toward its opposition to Rodriguez.
Nearly $1 million — mostly from a group supporting charter schools — has poured into the Democratic primary for a seat on the Colorado State Board of Education, a race that some observers say could play a role in the future of charters in the state.
Noah Stout, an attorney who previously worked for DSST Public Schools, a charter school network in Denver and Aurora, according to his LinkedIn profile, and Kyle DeBeer, vice president of civic affairs for the Colorado League of Charter Schools, are both listed as agents for the committee.The Colorado Labor Action has spent more than $42,300 on mailers opposing Rodriguez, according to campaign finance reports.
Rodriguez has also garnered endorsements from Gov. Jared Polis — a charter school founder and supporter who previously served on the State Board of Education — and two current board members, including Schroeder, according to her website. Instead, she said the culture wars that have played out in districts across the U.S. helped spur her bid, especially as a parent of a child who is part of the LGBTQ community and of another child with special needs.as the government has limited what schools can teach about racism and U.S. history as well as on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Rodriguez said that, if elected, she will decide on a charter school’s appeal by evaluating the school’s financial model, whether it’s meeting state standards, what the school plans to teach and whether it has support from the local community.Denver finally puts a price tag on Mayor Mike Johnston’s homelessness initiative
