In recent weeks, Douglas Schools for Douglas Kids have been mailing full color fliers spotlighting their candidates. They have now received $700,000 from pro-union groups.
They have also gone so far to say that Douglas County would not see union spending like what Jefferson County Public Schools saw roll in during the 2015 election. Yet, that is what has happened. The only thing different from the Jeffco races is that, this time, the union contributions were disclosed just as ballots go in the mail.
Proponents say since charter school students are public school students, and they should have equal access to money collected through property taxes.
Before Benevento could speak, however, Lemieux, who often argues with the board majority members, stomped away from her seat to the back of the room after she was not selected to act as chairwoman for that portion of the meeting.
