“Who knows where we would be today?" asked Kendrick's father, John."A beautiful beach somewhere enjoying ourselves. Maybe in the mountains, you know, in his Jeep four wheeling. Maybe a group of his friends over at our house enjoying a meal.”
Kendrick was killed on May 7, 2019, when he rushed one of the school shooters at STEM School Highlands Ranch and saved countless lives.READ MORE: 'He was a hero': Student killed in STEM School shooting identified as 18-year-old Kendrick Castillo “He never had a bad day, until the day that he lost his life," John said. “He was genuine. You just don't see that these days.”
A new complaint filed in February shows the school renewed its request from the summer of 2021 to dismiss the case. The motion was granted, and STEM School Highlands Ranch was ordered to pay $387,000 to the Castillo family. The money does not mean the school has"admitted liability or confessed judgement," but once the funds are deposited, the Castillo's claims become moot and a trial would be vacated.
"If you have children, you will want something better for them," John said about what he claims to have learned through evidence. “We can't let somebody cover things up with lies. That's why we're where we're at. And someday you'll get to hear the truth that we've discovered.” Once the law allows the Castillos to share what they have learned with the public, the family plans on doing so.The Court appointed a Special Master to determine what information should remain confidential and what the Castillos may share publicly. That Court-ordered process is getting underway. STEM is hopeful this will benefit the shared goal of helping protect students today and in the future.
