Accountability
In this video clip from the latest Greeley District 6 school board meeting, community members submitted 5,427 complaint forms regarding se x u ally explicit materials available to students K-12. As you can see in the video, public comments were disregarded - formal complaints were regarded by the Superintendent as "trash." Pastor & Board President, Michael Matthews, recessed twice during this last meeting, preventing one of his fellow board members, Taylor Sullivan, from even speaking & went on to lie, stating these books have never been brought to the attention of the board when in fact, they were first confronted in September & October 2022 during public comment as well as through numerous emails exchanges.
