Glenwood Springs parents will be out in force at the Roaring Fork School District's board meeting on April 12 to call out educators.
Glenwood Springs parents will be out in full force at the Roaring Fork School District's school board meeting tomorrow, April 12, to call out Glenwood Springs High School educators for inviting U.S. Border Patrol agents to speak at a student career expo last month.
Border Patrol was at the high school to talk about jobs within the agency, but its presence offended some students and their families, who have demanded an apology and called on the school board to take action.:"Though there were not any direct threats that we know of nor any student information that was shared, we recognize that the presence of Border Patrol alone can be intimidating for some students.
The career expo was organized by a group called YouthEntity, a Colorado nonprofit for youth career development. Although each school had a representative working with YouthEntity to plan the expo, administrators didn't know which organizations would attend, according to Freeman. The resolution further promises that the district's schools"will remain safe and supportive spaces for students and community members, free from intimidation, hostility, or violence, including threat of deportation," and says that the district"will not collaborate with immigration enforcement agencies or share information that could put a student's security at risk."
