DAVIS: A Split Decision in School Districts Statewide

·November 9, 2023

The floor of the Ute Pass Cultural Center quaked in time with the bass drum on Tuesday night as hundreds of Woodland Park citizens crowded into the room to await election results. By 6pm, an hour before polls closed, the venue was packed, the sounds of laughter and conversation competing only with the soulful voice of the band’s singer – who I finally realized was Erin O’Connell, the local parent-turned-activist who has led much of the charge against the town’s controversial school board.

DAVIS: Something Strange is Happening in Estes Park

·October 19, 2023

The process for founding a new charter school in Colorado is not exactly simple, but it is straightforward.

DAVIS: This November’s School Board Elections Are More Important Than You Think

·October 6, 2023

The most important school board races in Colorado this year are not on the Front Range, and are rarely in the press.

Rural school board races have never been as important as they are this year, and their ramifications could be felt statewide.

·August 24, 2023

If a germ touches me, it dies,” the faith healer proclaimed at the height of the pandemic. Not everyone was so lucky: though he personally claimed to be protected by faith-based immunity, Andrew Wommack’s constant flouting of local health ordinances, his desire to pack the sanctuary at Charis Bible College with hundreds of people at a time, led to multiple fatal outbreaks of the virus in Teller County. Now, three years later, Wommack’s ministry empire has infected Woodland Park with a new strain of contagion, this time through the ballot box.

DAVIS: Secret Audio Recording Reveals Inner-Workings of Woodland Park Takeover

·August 3, 2023

The other thing we ask is no recording,” the Freedom Foundation moderator can be heard saying on the recording I recently obtained. The recording, which was provided by a source who wishes to remain anonymous, is of a panel discussion at a recent conference and prominently features Brad Miller, the controversial attorney for the Woodland Park school board. “If you guys want these guys to be frank, to be open with you guys, they don’t want to be on YouTube. I don’t want to be on YouTube. So if we can, just make sure that there is no recording.”
