Attorneys for former DCSD superintendent file discrimination charge against district

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. — Attorneys representing former Douglas County School District superintendent Corey Wise filed a discrimination charge Tuesday against the district and the four majority board members who voted to fire him, claiming his termination violates the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Days before Wise's firing, he was allegedly asked to resign by Peterson and Williams. The allegations were made public by the three school board members who are in the minority on the board — Elizabeth Hanson, Susan Meek and David Ray. But after lawyers said they had found there was more time to prepare a possible appeal, the board decided to table the discussion until the March 23 meeting.

According to the discrimination charge, Peterson asked Wise and Williams to meet for coffee the morning of Jan. 28. During that meeting, Peterson allegedly said that"we are looking to move into a different direction towards a new superintendent." He allegedly said that the board was interested in whether Wise would voluntarily resign.

Minutes after the meeting, Wise allegedly received a text from Erin Kane, who was recently elected DCSD's next superintendent. The message contained photographs from two superintendent employment contracts, including a superintendent contract for DCSD, according to the charge.
