Denver’s Public School Board of Education voted unanimously on March 23 to allow armed police officers back into the city’s high schools for the remainder of the 2022–2023 school year.
The vote took place at an emergency meeting just one day after Austin Lyle, a 17-year-old student at East High School, opened fire on two administrators just before 10 a.m. as they searched him for weapons, wounding them both.
