During the recent Adams 12 Board of Education meeting held on May 7, 2025, a significant discussion centered around student discipline and safety in schools. Superintendent Dr. Chris Smith emphasized the district's commitment to maintaining a safe learning environment, highlighting the importance of expelling students when necessary to protect the well-being of others.

Dr. Smith addressed concerns about neighboring districts that have adopted more lenient policies regarding student expulsions, noting that some have not expelled any students, even in cases involving serious offenses. He reaffirmed that Adams 12 takes a different approach, stating, "We do expel a large number of kids each year," although he acknowledged that the number has decreased over the years. This decision-making process is rooted in the district's responsibility to ensure safety for all students.
