Denver Public Schools board members approved a new student discipline policy Thursday on a split vote, overriding concerns that it may put some teachers at risk and push some students into police custody.
Board member Arturo Jimenez argued to delay a vote on the policy until Sept. 2 to determine whether a change proposed by the activist group Padres y Jovenes Unidos might resolve outstanding questions.
