Denver (KDVR)-The former dean of culture at East Secondary School, Eric Senkler, is sued Denver Public Schools, claiming that he had suffered from life change injuries but can be prevented from a 17-year-old student who shot Snkir and another dean in March 2023.
This other dean, Gerald “Wayne” Mason, filed a lawsuit against the boycott earlier this month. He was shot twice in his chest while he and Sennaller performed a routine from the student Austin Layel on March 22, 2023. Snkir was shot in his thigh and crossed his stomach, there was a championship that was applied at school, and he underwent an emergency surgery after he was transferred to Denver Health.
He spent nine days in the hospital after the accident and announced plans more than a year ago to sue DPS. The lawsuit, which was filed on March 21, is called the province, and members of the Board of Public Schools in Denver, including Owitai Anderson, who was the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors at the time, and the assistant director of Shuen Anderson.
Senkler argues that his rights under the fourteenth amendment have been violated by the province, “Create and/or increasing the risk of Mr. Senkler, or other faculty and employees who are in a similar place, was shot by a student.” He also argued that the boycott created an unclear and inconsistent system, saying that the boycott “determines the priorities of politics and statistics on safety, and pressure schools to accept students, and some with criminal records, who are likely to be provided for safety and support in alternative path schools.”
Senkler also said that the province prevented eastern secondary schools and other schools from suspending or expelling students who committed illegal procedures. He also said that the boycott carried out a policy to remove school resources employees. In June 2020, the school council voted to remove student resource staff, a decision that made protests that require changes to the police overwhelmed by the nation after the death of George Floyd.
At the time of the shooting, Alex Mariro, director of Denver Public Schools, said he was committed to the presence of two armed officers at East Secondary School until the end of the semester. In a letter to the school’s board of directors, he also pledged that there was an officer in every comprehensive high school.
In the letter, he said that his decision was probably violated, but he said, “I am ready to accept the consequences of my actions.” The school council issued a statement at that time to support Marrero, which works “in partnership with the application of local law to create safer educational spaces.”
Senkler’s lawsuit confirms that when school resources employees were withdrawn from schools, no additional employee, budget or training was provided to school officials.
“When the violent incidents of East High School escalated, and the number of weapons seized in the province increased five times, (the province) refused to return (school resources staff) to the school despite the appeals of students, faculty and employees who were not safe,” according to the Sankler lawsuit.
The lawsuit confirms that during the 2021-2022 academic year, Denver General Schools confiscated 202 “dangerous weapons” of students, including 13 rifles and 28 fake rifles. The lawsuit also confirms that from November 2022, the province seized 79 weapons, including 7 rifles and 17 fake rifles.
A lawsuit says that the boycott did not provide deans or other officials, exercises to conduct searches or how to remove tensions that arise from angry, armed or afraid students.
“The result of the” boycott “actions were their tragedies: two men who shot a young, talented but immature and volatile young man,” Senkler’s complaint confirms.
Senkler said that the student’s shares and opportunities in the province “actually tells schools” dealing with them “or” discovering a method. “
