The Douglas County School Board — four majority members in particular — violated Colorado Open Meetings Law in connection to the firing of former Superintendent Corey Wise, according to a district court ruling.
Douglas County School District pays $832,733 to settle fired Superintendent Corey Wise’s unlawful termination claim
The individual defendants, the majority board, argued that their behavior did not violate COML and “it does not appear that they were purposefully acting in an unlawful manner,” according to the ruling. “They did not blatantly violate the statute by gathering as a group of three or four to discuss public business.
The court declined to order a permanent inunction in the case against the majority board members, finding that the defendants have not “engaged in sequential one-on-one discussions or decision making that is prohibited by the statue” since a preliminary injunction was ordered on March 9, 2022. The court did not find merit in the request to declare the termination of Wise as being null and void, in part, because of the April settlement he reached with the district.
“The court grants the declaratory judgment requested in connection with Plaintiff’s first claim for relief,” the ruling said. “The court denies the injunction requested in the second claim for relief and the judgment declaring Superintendent Wise’s termination null and void requested in the third claim for relief.”
