Update: Denver District Court Judge Andrew Luxen on Thursday, June 1, denied Movimiento Poder’s motion to intervene because its interests are “adequately represented” by the news organizations suing Denver Public Schools.

Movimiento Poder, a grassroots advocacy organization of Denver parents and students, asked Thursday to join in a lawsuit six news organizations filed against Denver Public Schools last week seeking the recording of a five-hour board of education executive session held the day after a shooting at East High School.

The lawsuit alleges board members violated the Colorado Open Meetings Law on March 23 by failing to specifically tell the public they would be discussing DPS’ safety policy — as well as the reinstatement of police officers in high schools — behind closed doors. It also alleges the board illegally adopted a position in an executive session, emerging from the meeting with a statement suspending a previous policy that removed police from schools.
