A Jeffco Superintendent Candidate

Is Dr. Terrence Moore a candidate for Jeffco's superintendent position? Moore was the principal of Ridgeview Classical Schools, a K-12 charter school in Fort Collins, Colorado before leaving to become a charter school advocate and college professor.  He is currently making education headlines for his anti-Common Core book The Story-Killers: A Common Sense Case Against the Common Core. 

Former Jeffco board member Laura Boggs has mentioned his name several times. They shared a microphone on Grassroots Radio.  The broadcast was billed as a Common Core . . .  Moore vs. Boggs event, but asking Laura Boggs to defend Common Core is laughable.

Sheila Atwell head of Jeffco Students First, the financier-manager for Witt, Newkirk and William's board campaigns is a graduate/member of the Leadership Program of the Rockies, and reportedly a Moore supporter.  The conservative Dr. Moore, was in Colorado last week to speak to the Leadership Program of the Rockies Annual Retreat. Convenient.

Another supporter of Dr. Terrence Moore is the Jeffco School board's secretly hired attorney, Brad Miller (also a graduate of the Leadership Program of the Rockies). Miller's other job, when he is not siphoning money from public school districts, is to run Charter School Solutions, a company that helps Charter Schools siphon money from public school districts. Go to Charter School Solutions blog to read pages of praise for Moore and his former school Ridgeview Classical Academy.

Please prove me wrong about this.
