DENVER — Eleven candidates are running for four seats on the Denver school board.
Ahead of the Nov. 4 election, Chalkbeat asked all 11 candidates to fill out a questionnaire. You can read their responses to questions about how to prevent gun violence in schools, whether Denver Public Schools should take steps to protect immigrant students from actions by the Trump administration, and more in Chalkbeat's voter guide.
We also used some of the candidates’ responses to create quizzes that match voters with candidates who most closely share their views. There are four quizzes, one for each open seat: At-Large, District 2, District 3, and District 4. Take the quizzes below.
At-Large, representing the entire city
Two candidates are running for the At-Large seat: Amy Klein Molk and Alex Magaña. All Denver voters can vote in this election.
