Denver’s school board has spent more than $43,000 on consultants over the last year to mediate disagreements between directors, who often have clashed on how to govern Colorado’s largest district, according to expense reports reviewed by The Denver Post.

, tensions between directors have flared once again. Most recently, President Xóchitl “Sochi” Gaytán sought to censure her colleague, Vice President Auon’tai Anderson, for allegedly disclosing information discussed in a closed meeting held by the board the day after a student shot two administrators at the district’s biggest high school.

The documents, which were obtained through a public records request, showed the school board has worked with Taña Quintana-Price, a licensed psychotherapist with Mindful Therapy, since August, when she helped facilitate a retreat. The district’s hiring of Quintana-Price has given directors access to therapy, Anderson said, adding that his sessions have focused more on how not to “lose” himself while advocating for children rather than on any potential conflict with his colleagues.

“This is an insignificant amount of the budget,” Esserman said, adding, “We aren’t always going to agree and our disagreements at this point have been dealt with in a healthy manner.” But the fighting also has included accusations of misogyny and racism, and twice now, there has been talk of censuring board members.

DP is evidently mad DPS and DPD want to protect kids. DP is slinging mud.

Maybe they just need an SRO assigned to their meetings. Apparently they solve everything 💁🏼‍♀️
