Voters favored change in Denver's Board of Education in Tuesday's
elections, appearing to have tossed two incumbents and electing a
former East High School principal who provided a critical report on
the district by an overwhelming majority in an open at-large seat.
That seat is currently held by often controversial board member
Auon'tai Anderson who decided not to seek re-election.

Pinning down the reason voters chose John Youngquist for at-large
board member, Marlene DeLaRosa in District 5 and likely Kimberlee
Sia (who was 11 points ahead Tuesday night in the District 1 race)
could be difficult.

Voter angst was significant in many different categories. It may
have been worries about school safety, especially following
shootings in and around East High School, a demand for the re-
introduction of more school resource officers who were removed from
schools in 2020, then partially restored earlier this year, school
closings amid declining enrollments, or possible disdain for the
dysfunction of the current Board of Education. It could also be that
the three were favored by supporters of charter schools who provided
heavy financial backing, or the endorsement of the three apparent
victors by new Denver mayor Mike Johnston, or... any number of other
reasons.

The school board has seven members and only three seats were up for
election, so it is unlikely there will be overwhelming change in
direction. But incumbent Charmaine Lindsay in District 5 and Scott
Baldermann in District 1 appear to have been ousted.

Baldermann, who owns a software company, has spent hundreds of
thousands of dollars in his own money to get elected first in 2019
and run again. Lindsay was appointed to fill a vacancy on the board
that this was her first attempt at election, but voters did not
stick with her.

"Our job is we hopefully get together on this Board of Education,"
said John Youngquist to a crowd gathered at Bar 38 in Northwest
Denver, "To start listening to people in our community across the
city to understand what our children need, what our parents want,
what our teachers need, what our principals need to get this job
done together."
