Judge Allows Lawsuit Against Denver Public Schools to Proceed in East High School Shooting Case
A judge has ruled that a lawsuit from Eric Sinclair, one of the deans shot by a student at East High School in Denver, can move forward against Denver Public Schools. The student, Austin Lyle, had a history of bringing guns to school and was kicked out of another high school before enrolling at East, where red flags were ignored despite his dangerous behavior. The judge criticized DPS for their disregard of obvious risks, including the removal of police officers from schools and a fatal shooting just months prior. DPS maintains they followed the law and plan to argue their case in court. The lawsuit against the school board and an assistant principal was dismissed, and a claim under a state safety law was shifted to workers compensation. The other deans suit is still pending, and a familys case from an earlier outside shooting was dropped due to it occurring on public property. This ruling keeps the focus on school safety gaps and forces DPS to defend their policies as the cases proceed to evidence and trials.
