Big changes are hitting Cherry Creek Schools as Superintendent Chris Smith steps down following serious claims about a toxic work environment. While Smith’s time brought new mental health resources and major school upgrades, staff say the workplace culture under his and his wife’s leadership left many feeling powerless. Now, with Jennifer Perry stepping in as interim superintendent, the district’s next steps are up in the air. For a district known for excellence, this moment raises big questions about transparency, leadership, and how to rebuild trust. What do you think Cherry Creek needs most right now? #Education #CherryCreekSchools #Leadership
