The reactions began as soon as the deal was announced, with a tweet from Gov. While it’s unfortunate that this agreement was not reached prior to the strike, today’s results are a testament to Denver Public Schools and the Denver Classroom Teachers Association’s commitment to working together in the best interest of our children. Denver’s kids are the biggest winners in today’s agreement, and I think everyone is relieved that the strike is over and students and teachers will be back in school working together to build a brighter future for themselves and our community. @ColoradoEA @DenverTeachers #DCTAstrong #RedForEd @AmieBacaOehlert pic.twitter.com/0RLeyaAgi6 — Lily Eskelsen García (@Lily_NEA) February 14, 2019 Colorado Education Association President Amie Baca-Oehlert, head of the state teachers union to which the Denver union belongs, held up Denver teachers as models for the rest of the state. Denver educators didn’t just fight for their students, profession and community. From an official at A+ Colorado: Good news and progress here. #edcolo https://t.co/aPaBvY2k2o — Landon Mascareñaz (@lmascarenaz) February 14, 2019 And from Stand for Children Colorado: We are so happy @DenverTeachers and @DPSNewsNow reached a deal where educators get a raise, equity incentives are protected, and now students and teachers are back to the classroom! The teachers themselves should be proud — they are getting a 10 percent raise. But unfortunately for the union’s credibility, it’s essentially the same raise they were offered before the strike. (The district did not put much more money on the table to reach the deal, but it did agree to changes the union wanted in terms of how educators earn raises.
