District continues to deny access to interviews about Dennis

Original Report written by Reed Sutman on . Updated .

I have requested interviews with District officials multiple times, regarding Dennis Schools, and have been repeatedly denied access.

You can read some of the history in my full report.

Today, I have again been declined the opportunity to ask questions. I emailed Chief Operations Officer Dr. Mike Curry and Superintendent Dr. Clark. I received an email reply declining interview from Denise Swarthout, the District's communications officer.

At last Wednesday's Board Meeting (June 21st), I asked Dr. Curry if he would be available for an interview. He was open to it, but said he'd have to check with Dr. Clark about what time he'd be available.

The next day, I followed up with him via email and he responded "Thanks for the reminder. At the moment, there is no time in my schedule tomorrow. Try me back next week."

Now it is next week, and I'm being declined the opportunity to ask the District questions.
