科罗拉多州丹佛：学区董事会第3选区空缺12名申请人亮相论坛
科罗拉多州丹佛县丹佛市消息：丹佛学区董事会第3选区空缺的12名申请人11月4日晚参加论坛，围绕重建信任阐述各自理念。当晚17时30分先举行见面会，论坛18时开始；教育新闻网站Chalkbeat于11月6日报道了论坛情况。
该空缺因代表丹佛中东部第3选区的DJ·托雷斯辞职而产生。原有13名申请人中，1人因不住在选区内被取消资格，余下12人。托雷斯在辞职时表示，董事会把过多时间耗在了「内部冲突」上。12名申请人在论坛上就董事会运作、与社区的关系以及如何恢复公众信任等问题表态。
后续程序已经排定：董事会将于11月16日定下三名决赛人选，11月19日作出任命，新任成员任期一年。空缺期间第3选区席位暂时空置，社区居民关注新任人选能否缓解董事会内部矛盾、恢复公众信任。
Twelve Applicants for Denver School Board Vacancy Appear at Forum on Rebuilding Trust
DENVER, Colo. — The 12 applicants for the vacant District 3 seat on the Denver school board appeared at a forum on the evening of November 4, laying out their ideas on rebuilding trust. A meet-and-greet began at 5:30 p.m., followed by the forum at 6 p.m.; education news site Chalkbeat reported on the forum on November 6.
The vacancy arose when DJ Torres, who represented District 3 in central and east Denver, resigned. Of the original 13 applicants, one was disqualified for not living in the district, leaving 12. Torres said on resigning that the board spent too much time on 'internal conflict.' At the forum, the 12 applicants addressed board operations, relations with the community and how to restore public trust.
The next steps are set: the board will name three finalists on November 16 and make the appointment on November 19, with the new member serving a one-year term. The District 3 seat remains vacant in the meantime, and residents are watching whether the appointee can ease the board's internal tensions and restore public confidence.
