Denver Public Schools’ Board of Education Addresses Colleague’s Behavior

Members of the Denver Public Schools’ Board of Education criticized colleague John Youngquist for his recent actions, accusing him of violating the state’s open meeting law and mistreating staff members. The board expressed their disappointment in Youngquist’s behavior, particularly towards employees, during a meeting where they discussed his conduct.

While specifics of Youngquist’s interactions with staff were not disclosed, the board focused on a letter he sent in December accusing them of breaking state laws by excluding him from an executive session. The session was related to Youngquist’s compensation as a board member and its impact on his pension from the Colorado Public Employees’ Retirement Association (PERA).

Youngquist, a retired educator, had been seeking full compensation for his board duties but was limited by PERA regulations. Despite his frustrations, he decided not to pursue his full compensation to avoid penalties from PERA. The board’s decision not to address this issue during the December meeting led to further tensions.

During the meeting, Youngquist acknowledged his frustration and expressed a desire for the board to reflect on their use of executive sessions. He also admitted to causing offense to senior DPS staff members, including Chief of Staff Deborah Staten, and engaging in a tense exchange with the district’s general counsel, Aaron Thompson.

While Youngquist attempted to address his colleagues’ concerns and learn from the situation, board member Michelle Quattlebaum questioned his accountability for his actions. Quattlebaum highlighted the significant amount of time and resources spent on resolving issues related to Youngquist’s compensation, emphasizing the impact on the district’s operations.
