Aurora Public Schools Superintendent Arrested for DUI on Halloween Night
A shocking development hit Aurora this week when the superintendent of Aurora Public Schools was taken into custody for driving under the influence on Halloween. According to an arrest affidavit obtained by FOX31, the incident occurred late Thursday night as the city’s streets were still buzzing with trick‑or‑treaters and costume‑clad revelers.
The superintendent, who has overseen the district’s recent push for expanded STEM programs and the reopening of several schools after pandemic closures, was reportedly stopped by Aurora police after failing a field‑sobriety test near the intersection of S. 2nd Street and Montview Road. The affidavit states that the officer detected the smell of alcohol and observed impaired driving behavior, leading to a breath‑alyzer reading that exceeded Colorado’s legal limit.
Local officials have already called for a thorough review of the superintendent’s duties while the legal process unfolds. Aurora School Board President Karen Martinez said the district will “cooperate fully with authorities” and “maintain transparency with families and staff.”
Parents and community members are urged to stay informed through official district communications and local news outlets such as Aurora Sentinel, FOX31, and the Aurora Chamber of Commerce.
