Denver Public Schools reimbursed $3,500 of Auon’tai Anderson’s legal fees in a settlement never meant to be made public

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:54:35 GMT

Denver Public Schools quietly paid school board Vice President Auon’tai Anderson a $3,500 settlement earlier this year to help cover legal fees he incurred when the Board of Education investigated anonymous and unsubstantiated allegations of sexual assault made against him. The settlement was never intended to be made public, according to the legal agreement, which specifies Anderson and DPS can’t acknowledge its existence or release the document — even under Colorado’s public records act — unless required by law or court order.With Anderson’s consent, DPS released a copy of the settlement agreement Monday after The Denver Post and Chalkbeat Colorado published stories detailing the transaction and the district’s repeated refusal to release the settlement.“It is unfathomable that any public school district would include a provision in a settlement agreement by which it commits to withhold that public record from disclosure under the Colorado Open R...

Gravestone found buried in a backyard may delay Metro expansion

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:54:35 GMT

A planned Los Angeles Metro expansion has hit a snag after a headstone turned up in a resident’s backyard. When neighbors in a Lawndale neighborhood learned about Metro's plans to build a new C (Green) Line in the area, they thought it was imperative to let officials know about the gravestones. But at least one resident said that when he spoke up, he was met with dismay.  Jay Gould said that ever since he was a child, he remembers his father talking about the burial ground in their backyard.  “I just started digging like crazy and started finding them again,” he told KTLA’s Rachel Menitoff. So far, one gravestone is visible, but Gould believes there may be as many as 17. After hearing about Metro’s extension along the railroad tracks and through his yard, he spoke up.Lawndale resident Jay Gould is seen in his backyard after the discovery of Earle Hoffman's grave marker.

SAN FRANCISCO — Last season, the Warriors tried to double down on “two timelines” — a group of experienced, title-winning veterans playing alongside young players, learning how to win on the fly.Needless to say, things didn’t work out.

Chargers need to find a way not to allow second-half rallies

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:54:35 GMT

Brandon Staley and the Los Angeles Chargers coaching staff go into the bye week with many things to assess. One of their biggest concerns should be not giving teams chances to come back.The Bolts’ 24-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday marked the third straight week they had a double-digit lead at one point, but had the game eventually go down to the wire.After squandering a two-touchdown lead and losing in overtime at Tennessee in Week 2, the Chargers have won their past two. One-score games though have become the norm with the Chargers. Since Staley became coach in 2021, they lead the league with 26 and have gone 14-12.“All of these games in the NFL are close. This isn’t college football where Georgia is playing UAB or Austin Peay,” Staley said on Monday. “I don’t know why it’s such a surprise that all of these games are close. That’s just the way the NFL is. You have to be ready to play them as they come. When it gets tight, you have to execute down the stretc...
