DougCo School Board President Mike Peterson was live on conservative talk radio as students walked out protesting the superintendent’s firing. While the story led @KOAColorado newscasts while he was on, I don’t believe Peterson acknowledged the walkout and was not asked about it.

Peterson said on KOA that the reason the board majority was unable to articulate a reason for firing Superintendent Corey Wise was because they expected to do it privately in executive session. Wise exercised his right to have the discussion in open session.
Peterson made a passing mention of the student walkout that I initially missed. He tied the student walkout to the teachers union when saying that allowing the superintendent to remain would have been "giving in to the union."
Here's the full quote where the board president says that not firing Superintendent Wise would have empowered the union and led to more teacher sickouts and student walkouts.
