Denver’s school board voted Thursday to start school this fall on Aug. 18 rather than delaying classes to avoid potential conflicts with the Democratic National Convention.
The convention is being held Aug. 25-28. The district conducted an online survey, in which the majority of respondents voted for the standard, earlier start.
The board voted 5-2 to start Aug. 18. The other scenario would have started school Sept. 2.
Security officials with the district and the city and county of Denver had urged the board to start school after the convention.
