10. I'm still trying to find out what came down onto the principals to make them bolt

I'm not as plugged in as some in the district and I'm not able to get information on what the BOE laid on them that so many left. Could be they simply got tired of everything that the BOE does being blamed on them. Could be they got tired of being instructed to bring the hammer down on their teachers, people who they've come to know not just as colleagues but as friends. That would be hard.

I'm glad to see a quick reaction on the part of Jeffco student/parent community. It took a long time for people to get clued into what was happening here. And by that time much of the damage was already done. Good luck to you guys!!

Oh, yes. That AstroTurf Jeffco Students First Action was almost certainly Koch money. politicat Sep 2014 #9
