September 2011 Volume 44, Number 2
It is my pleasure to present to you the
Election 2011 edition of the DCTA SLATE.
Our efforts in this November 1 election are
the result of input from members from across
the District and months of careful planning.
Our goal this election is not only to elect
candidates who support the values and
input of Denver educators, but also to put
teachers at the forefront of what real
reform and innovation look like. Too often,
district- and state-level decisions about edu-
cation are made without seeking the input of
teachers and other educators on the front
lines. It is time for usthe true expertsto
step up and take the lead.
Why Is This Election Important?
As I mentioned in the August edition of
the DCTA SLATE, the upcoming election is
critical to the everyday lives of children and
teachers in DPS. Every day, members ask,
Why is this election important to me?
Among other reasons, I believe every
teacher, SSP, office clerk, secretary and par-
ent should be involved in this falls races
because:
We know what works in schools. Our
schools are better when educators work col-
laboratively at the forefront of school
improvement. It is time to elect school board
members who value educator input over that
of bureaucrats and corporate interests.
DCTA and DPS will work in part-
nership to bargain the Master Agreement
next year. The makeup of the board will
impact major decisions including:
Teaching and learning conditions in
our classrooms;
How much say YOU have in what hap
pens in our schools and classrooms;
How LEAP and other supports for edu
cator excellence will be Implemented;
How LEAP will fit into ProComp, and
on what terms;
Your work load and planning time;
The process used to choose the highest
quality educators for every building.
Outside special interests are invest-
ing heavily in unproven, top-down poli-
cies, leaving little to no say for educators on
the ground. Many of these corporate interests
have devalued the expertise of professional
educators, which is detrimental to school
improvement efforts.
DENVER EDUCATORS CARE
ABOUT STUDENT SUCCESS!!!!
How We Are Going to Talk About
Real Education Reform?
As part of our efforts to engage and col-
laborate with the broader community, we are
launching a new initiative: DELTA (Denver
Educators: Leading, Transforming, Achiev-
ing). DELTA is a way for us to move our
three main priorities-- Student Success,
Educator Excellence, and Shared Account-
abilityto the forefront of the conversation
about education reform in Denver. By focus-
ing on these three priorities, I fundamentally
believe we have the chance to shift the dia-
logue back to what matters most for our stu-
dents. You can read more about DELTA on
page 17.
What You Will See From Us
Building Meetings DCTA building
representatives will be holding meetings
before and after school to discuss important
issues to members across the district. Make
sure you attend and add your voice to the dis-
cussion.

to make your voice heard.
You are the educators. You are the ones
in our classrooms every day. You know what
works, and what does not. It is time for all of
us step up and tell Denver voters what
really creates student success. Everyday,
teachers like you tell me you are willing to be
accountable for excellence in your class-
rooms. But you also recognize that teachers

cant be the only ones who are held account-
able. To truly realize widespread student suc-
cess, that excellence and accountability must
shared by all stakeholders in Denver Public
Schools.
It is time to put an end to outside special
interests pushing top-down policies with lit-
tle to no input from educators on the ground.
It is time for real, community-centered
reform that meets the needs of our students
first, not the latest fad or the political agen-
das of special interests.
And it is time to support candidates
for school board who recognize that valu-
ing educator input boosts student success.
Join the movement to re-elect Arturo
Jimenez in Northwest Denver and elect
Emily Sirota in Southeast Denver. This
election will decide the direction of our
schools, and whether well have policies
that cater to outside interests, or real
reform that works for students, parents,
educators and the larger community.
Election Will Decide the Direction
of Our Schools
Continued from page 3
Why is Novembers election so vital to
our success in the public schools? Its impor-
tant because we know what the outcomes
will be if we dont change the course of DPS.
How do we know?
Well, Diane Ravitchs The Death and
Life of the Great American School System
reads like a blueprint for what youre experi-
encing and foretells whats to come in
Denver if the current BoE direction remains.
What are the issues, and what can we
expect the outcomes to be in Denver?
The main issues are:
1) Overemphasis on testing with
manipulated data results.
2) Increased spending outside the
classroom (PD, testing, admin, etc).
3) De-humanizing of teachers and
belittling of the teaching profession.
4) School closures and corporate
takeovers of the system.
The exact process going on here in
Denver was first unleashed on District 2 in
NYC beginning in 1987 and then moved on
to San Diego and across the country. It is
fully described in her book. Here are some
important excerpts:
1) Overemphasis on testing with
manipulated data results.
On the sixth-grade reading test in
2006 [in NYC], students needed to earn 41
percent of the points to attain level 2; by
2009, students in that grade needed only
17.9 percent. In seventh-grade math, stu-
dents needed to earn 36.2 percent of the
points on the test to advance to level 2 in
2006, but by 2009, they needed to earn only
22 percent. (p. 79). It was a shock ,
therefore, when the federal NAEP
[National Assessment of Educational
Progress] released reading and math scores
for eleven cities, including NYC, in
November 2007 Except in fourth-grade
mathematics, there were no gains for black
students, white students, Asian students,
Hispanic students, or lower-income stu-
dents. However, Using private funding,
the city launched a publicity blitz to pro-
claim its increased test scores and gradua-
tion rates (p. 88). Mississippi claimed
that 89 percent of its fourth graders were at
or above proficiency in reading, but accord-
ing to NAEP, only 18 percent were (p.
106).
2) Increased spending outside the class-
room (PD, testing, admin, etc).
In the spring of 2000, San Diegos ver-
sion of the Denver Plan was called the
Blueprint. The emphasis in the plan was
on intensive professional development
The annual cost of professional development
rose from $1 million to about $70 million.
(p. 51). Adult interests were well-served by
NCLB. The law generated huge revenues for
tutoring and testing services, which became a
sizable industry. Companies that offered
tutoring, tests, and test-prep materials were
raking in billions of dollars annually from
federal, state, and local governments, but the
advantages to the nations students were not
obvious (p. 101).
3) De-humanizing of teachers and
belittling of the teaching profession.
When Alvarado fired our new princi-
pal (the third in four years) in the sixth
week of school, despite the expressed col-
lective wishes of parents and teachers, we
realized that we no longer have a choice
about whether to accept the package
District 2 delivers. The degree of micro-
management is astounding (p. 41). In
San Diego, The mandated professional
development sessions were not opportuni-
ties for reflection and collegiality, but a
time for teachers to be told what to do and
how to do it (p. 55). In 2005, the PBS pro-
gram Making Schools Work [about NYC]
omitted the meetings of angry parents,
the controversy over the constructivist
mathematics program, the debate about
demographics, and questions about the
imposition of Balanced Literacy. (p. 43).
4) School closures and corporate
takeovers of the system.
The NYC Department of Education
gave a $15.8 million no-bid contract for
eighteen months to Alvarez & Marsal to
devise cost-cutting measures. A&M execu-
tives rearranged the school systems bus
routes in January 2007, with disastrous con-
sequences. (p. 75). The small high
schools, said Hemphill and Nauer, have
strengths but also significant limitations,

DCTA Mission Statement
The Denver Classroom Teachers Associations mission is to advocate for the rights and
responsibilities of all educators, and to unite our members and the community to fulfill
the promise of public education to prepare every student to succeed in a diverse and
interdependent world.
The DCTA Slate
DCTA Governing Body
including their inability to provide special
education services, support for English-lan-
guage learners, an array of courses in music
and the arts, extracurricular and sports pro-
grams, advanced courses, and vocational
programs. (p. 83). Deregulation con-
tributed to the near collapse of our national
economy in 2008, and there is no reason to
anticipate that it will make education better
for most children (p. 222).
Even data presented by the A+ com-
mittee itself acknowledges residents dis-
satisfaction with the current DPS direction,
according to a recent survey http://
fciruli.blogspot.com/2011/04/ciruli-associ-
ates-poll.html. They admit that there has
been a lower rate of increase for poor chil-
dren from 2006-2011, an increased need for
remediation in college, and significantly
lower gains than the Districts goals hope
to achieve. The maximum increase in a
CSAP area was 4.8% in middle-school
math for non-FRL students. The goal was
3% per year, but even the maximum growth
in one subject area had less than 1% gain
per year, which means that DPS is at best
meeting less than 33% of its goal. If a
school met less than 33% of AYP over the
past six years, can you imagine what the
consequences would be?!
We need to change direction in DPS.
Please, plan on giving at least one hour to
volunteer for a campaign this fall. We
expect every one of our 3,077 members to
give one hour whether its phone calling,
attending an event, hosting a house party,
or walking door-to-door to get candidates
elected who believe in the American public
school system that provides every child
equal access to a well-rounded, liberal arts
& sciences education. With a new school
board, we must implement new improve-
ment systems that foster shared-accounta-
bility, acknowledge educator excellence,
and dont compromise on the meaning of
student success.

Candidates Questions/Answers
Transparency for DPS?
Answer: Rather than establishing an
independent body, I would support the solicita-
tion of community input as to what our citizens
would like to see in terms of transparency and
information. Then, I would push the District to
create a plan that provides the asked-for level
of transparency. This plan needs to be imple-
mented and monitored to ensure progress.
Q: Do you believe that every student in
DPS should have a right to equitable and fund-
ing in his or her classroom and are you willing
to pledge to push for all children to have access
to the same opportunities?
A: I believe we need to continue to work
toward improving the quality and availability
of educational opportunities in the schools. By
continuing to create diverse and exceptional
school options, we will provide parents and
students the opportunities within DPS to select
the school that will best serve their needs. I
will pledge to ensure that all students have
access to these options.
Q: The Schools of Innovation Act pro-
vides a particular process by which Innovation
Status is granted a vote of majority support
of the school staff. The DPS Board of
Education approved innovation status for these
schools without the establishment or the vote
of the entire faculty. Provide your thoughts.
A: It is important to ensure both the spirit
and the letter of the Innovative Schools Act. It is
my understanding that the above vote is being
reviewed by the court system to determine its
validity under the Innovative Schools Act.
District 1
District 5
Arturo Jimenez
*Endorsed by the DCTA Board of Directors
Top three priorities:
a. Demanding that we cultivate great
schools.
b. Great instructional leaders.
c. Collaborate with teachers, parents, and
students to create a nourishing educational and
workplace environment.
Question: Would You Support an
Independent Body to Provide Full
Transparency for DPS?
Answer: I believe that the Board of
Education must be the primary body responsi-
ble for transparency and bond/mill levy over-
sight committees should answer to the Board,
not the Superintendent. Also, we should have
an independent financial auditor (such as in the
pension refinance situation) who answers to
the Board.
Q: Do you believe that every student in
DPS should have a right to equitable and fund-
ing in his or her classroom, and are you willing
to pledge to push for all children to have access
to the same opportunities?
A: Yes. I am very concerned that the cur-
rent drain of resources to new schools is reap-
ing precious resources from neighborhood
schools. Likewise, I am concerned that the cur-
rent student-based budgeting plan does not
result in the maximum amount of resources to
the students.
Q: The Schools of Innovation Act pro-
vides a particular process by which Innovation
Status is granted a vote of majority support
of the school staff. The DPS Board of
Education approved innovation status for these
schools without the establishment or the vote
of the entire faculty. Provide your thoughts.
A: I did not vote to support the act. My
position is well documented in that I do not
believe that the district has followed the statute
for new schools. In addition, I am concerned
that existing schools have not been following
the state principles of mutual consent.
Jennifer Draper Carson
Top three priorities:
a. Increase the percentage of children
reading proficiently by the end of third grade.
b. Teacher and principal quality.
c. Strong leadership pipeline.
Question: Would You Support an
Independent Body to Provide Full
Transparency for DPS?
Answer: Transparency is a key attribute
of any public entity, and I fully support
increasing the transparency at DPS. I would be
inclined to support such a body, buy it would
be conditional depending on the structure,
responsibilities, and accountability of the new
body.
Q: Do you believe that every student in
DPS should have a right to equitable and fund-
ing in his or her classroom and are you willing
to pledge to push for all children to have access
to the same opportunities?
A: I believe that we must meet the needs
of our students and right now, I dont think the
State of Colorado is providing the necessary
resources to our students to meet the educa-
tional requirements of the 21st Century. I
believe that all children should have the oppor-
tunity to receive a quality education.
Q: The Schools of Innovation Act pro-
vides a particular process by which Innovation
Status is granted a vote of majority support
of the school staff. The DPS Board of
Education approved innovation status for these
schools without the establishment or the vote
of the entire faculty. Provide your thoughts.
A: While the statute is silent on new
schools, for example, a principle individually
designing a new school for Innovation Status
I believe it is the responsibility of every indi-
vidual interviewing for a job in any school to
be versant in the type of school, the mission
and vision for the school, and the philosophy
upon accepting an interview.

Top three priorities:
Smaller class size
More teaching and less time spent on

Make real efforts to ensure the retention
of qualified, experienced educators
Question: What would you think of
establishing an independent body that would
be used to provide full transparency for the
public?
Answer: I think that that is a great idea,
as this group would be able to exist free from
any conflict of interest. Although costs for this
body would have to be considered, there are
some state agencies that would do some of this

have access to the same opportunities?
A: Yes, as this hits at the core of why I am
running for School Board.
Q: The Schools of Innovation Act provides
a particular process by which innovation is
granted a vote of majority support of the
school staff. The DPS Board of Education
approved innovation status for several of these
schools without the establishment or the vote of
the entire faculty. Please provide your thoughts.
A: It is essential that the Innovation Act be
followed as written, and to bypass the process is
akin to ignorance of the law. Schools would be
more innovative and obtain more buy in from
staff by allowing for and consulting with the
only group that would be implementing any new
innovation strategy, its teachers.
Allegra Happy Haynes
Top three priorities:
Strategically expanding achievement
opportunities for every student
There needs to be greater attention on
the schools that are in the middle to help them
move from good to great and from fair and
struggling to rapidly improving.
The district must create more opportuni-
ties for parents to become empowered and
engaged in supporting their students success
by fostering a culture and climate that recog-
nizes and supports them as full partners partic-
ularly at the school level where they are most
interested.
Question: What would you think of
establishing an independent body that would
be used to provide full transparency for the
public?
Answer: There are already a number of
independent groups that inform and report on
the issues and the progress of the district, par-
ticularly A+ Denver that was specifically cre-
ated for this purpose.
Q: Do you believe that every student in
DPS should have a right to equitable funding
in his or her classroom and school and are you
willing to pledge to push for all children to
have access to the same opportunities?
A: Equity means that every student has
the opportunities to meet his or her education-
al needs and the district strategically allocates
its limited resources to maximize those oppor-
tunities based on those diverse needs. When
we talk about the same opportunity, we
mean similar, not exactly the same opportuni-
ties because students needs and even schools
differ dramatically.
Q: The Schools of Innovation Act provides
a particular process by which innovation is
granted a vote of majority support of the
school staff. The DPS Board of Education
approved innovation status for several of these
schools without the establishment or the vote of
the entire faculty. Please provide your thoughts.
A: If this refers to the newly created schools
in the district, I support the decision of the Board
to approve that status for new schools.
Roger Kilgore
Top three priorities:
Adapt to all of our schools lessons
learned from our successful traditional, inno-
vation, and charter schools.
Replace the culture of confrontation
with a culture of collaboration and respect.
Replace data-driven accountability with
data-informed responsiveness.
Question: What would you think of
establishing an independent body that would
be used to provide full transparency for the
public?
Answer: In the absence of a specific pro-
posal designed to address specific concerns, I
do not currently see the need for such a body. I
am open to hearing more on this issue.
Question: Do you believe that every stu-
dent in DPS should have a right to equitable
funding in his or her classroom and school and
are you willing to pledge to push for all chil-
dren to have access to the same opportunities?
Answer: I place a high value on equal
opportunity of all students. There may be spe-
cific policy issues behind this question that I
would be happy to discuss in greater detail.
Question: The Schools of Innovation Act
provides a particular process by which innova-
tion is granted a vote of majority support of
the school staff. The DPS Board of Education
approved innovation status for several of these
schools without the establishment or the vote
of the entire faculty. Please provide your
thoughts.
Answer: I support the Act as applied to
existing schools. I believe the district was mis-
guided in its interpretation for new schools with
no staff and unnecessarily amplified the con-
frontational relationship with the DCTA. My
understanding of the legislative history of the
Act suggests that the District missed an opportu-
nity to work more collaboratively with DCTA.
Jacqueline (Jacqui) Shumway
Top three priorities:
Art, music and physical activity are essen-
tial to academic achievement in DPS and
should be part of the curriculum.
Question: What would you think of
establishing an independent body that would
be used to provide full transparency for the
public?
Answer: This seems like a good idea.
However, District SIAC is in place and needs
to be supported as well.
Q: Do you believe that every student in
DPS should have a right to equitable funding
in his or her classroom and school and are you
willing to pledge to push for all children to
have access to the same opportunities?
A: This is a no-brainer of course I
would sign that pledge . . . Now, the ability to
implement the pledge will be a little harder
with shrinking funding. Hopefully, growing
community involvement will fill those gaps.
Q: The Schools of Innovation Act provides
a particular process by which innovation is
granted a vote of majority support of the
school staff. The DPS Board of Education
approved innovation status for several of these
schools without the establishment or the vote of
the entire faculty. Please provide your thoughts.
A: I really think it unwise to NOT get the
60% agreement from the collective bargaining
staff at any school to establish an innovation
district.

CEA Joins Coalition Supporting Proposition 103
The CEA Board of Directors took an official position is support of Proposition 103, Bright Colorado. Prop 103 is the 2011 bal-
lot issue led by Senator Rollie Heath (D- Boulder). During June and July, teachers, support staff and parents joined with Senator Heath
to gather 142,000 signatures. The Colo Secretary of State certified the signatures and placed the ballot question on the 2011 statewide
ballot. Prop 103 is the only ballot question that will appear on the 2011 state ballot. We thank Senator Heath for his leadership in plac-
ing a tax question for public school funding to the voters this fall. Visit http://brightcolorado.com to learn more about who else is sup-
porting Proposition 103.
Why Proposition 103?
Colorado lives under TABOR, the Taxpayers Bill of Rights. TABOR requires a vote of the people to raise any tax in Colorado.
As you know, the state of Colo has suffered under a fiscal shortfall because the very severe recession has caused less tax money, in
the form of state, income, and property taxes, to come into state coffers. As a result, K -12 public schoolsthe largest program fund-
ed by our state-- have faced cutbacks. Increasing taxes is the only way to remedy this shortfall and reverse these cuts. If proposition
103 passes, taxes will increase slightly and more money will come into the state coffers for K 12 and other state programs.
What is CEA doing to support Prop 103?
CEA has committed money from our Every Member Option to help with the Yes on Prop 103 campaign. We are also partnering
with Great Education Colorado (http://greateducation.org), a group of parents working to increase school funding, to work on Prop
103. CEA will be in communication with you about how you can support Prop 103, so be on the lookout for more information!

Colorado Education Associations board
of directors voted to unite with the growing,
grassroots coalition that will ask Colorado
voters for a temporary, modest income and
sales tax increase to put badly needed funds
back into public school classrooms.
More than 140,000 voters across the
state signed petitions to support the Bright
Colorado ballot measure, also known as
Initiative 25. It will appear on the November
election ballot as Proposition 103.
Were greatly encouraged to see that so
many voters share our view that great
economies start with great education, said
CEA President Beverly Ingle. This wonder-
ful coalition of concerned civic groups, busi-
nesses and families is tired of hearing that
student growth isnt a budget priority. We
stand with them to remind all Coloradans
that the education of our children is the
states most pressing obligation and most
critical investment.
We commend Senator Rollie Heath for
his vision to form a strong and spirited coalition
for the benefit of our children. His enthusiastic
leadership in this movement demonstrates his
steadfast commitment to Colorado public
schools and families, Ingle added.
Why Prop 103?
Colorado citizens live with TABOR, the
1992 Taxpayers Bill of Rights thats in our
State Constitution. TABOR requires a vote of
the people to raise any tax at any level of
government (state, county, municipality, spe-
cial district, etc.).
Colorado is still recovering from the
severe recession that began in 2008 and near-
ly every level of government, including the
state, has a major shortage of tax revenue
(sales, income, and property taxes). You
know what the result has been for public edu-
cation: major cutbacks in funding from the
state to school districts and major cutbacks in
funding for higher education.
The only way to make up this revenue is
to increase tax rates. The only way to
increase tax rates is for the voters to approve
a measure that raises tax rates.
If the voters approve Prop 103, state
income and sales tax rates will increase
slightly and the state will eventually get more
tax revenue for public education and other
state programs. If approved, the state income
and sales tax rates will revert for five years to
the rates that were in place before the
Legislature, during Governor Bill Owens
Administration, reduced them:
State Sales Tax Rate: 2.9% now,
would go to 3%. State Personal and
Corporate Income Tax Rate: 4.63% now,
would go to 5%
The Legislature cannot return tax
rates to their former, higher levels because
raising taxes is the voters right under
TABOR. Prop 103 raises the tax rates for
Tax Years 2012-2016 as a temporary tax
increase for five years.
What is CEA doing to help pass Prop 103?
CEA has committed Every Member
Option (EMO) money to help with the
Yes on Prop 103 campaign. The Bright
Colorado Coalition is writing a campaign
plan with specific activities and raising
money to communicate with voters. CEA
will coordinate with Bright Colorado on
activities to help persuade the voters to
approve the initiative. When these activi-
ties are developed and we have a list of the
ways we can all participate, we will share
these with you.
We will also work with Great Education
Colorado on Prop 103 activities. We have
often partnered with this group of dedicated
parents who continuously work on school
funding issues. Some of our Local
Associations are forming community Yes
on 103 coalitions to work on grassroots
campaign activities. We encourage you to do
this and if you do, please email
jbeyer@coloradoea.org to let her know what
your community group is doing so we can
tell others about it through this update.
Lynne Mason, CEA Political Director,
attends weekly Yes on 10Bright
Colorado meetings and will be working
with all of us on how we can get involved
in passing Prop 103.

What is the University of
Northern Colorado Center for
Urban Education?
The Center is an elementary teacher
preparation program that leads
students to a Bachelors degree and
Colorado teacher licensure.
But its more than that its a place
where traditional scholarship meets
a rich real-world experience in a
metropolitan-area school classroom
a place where students find a home
for learning and growing as teaching
professionals.
That happens because Center students
work with elementary school students
and their teachers, developing
instructional skills on a daily basis.
Who are Center for Urban
Education students?
Our current 200-plus students are rich
in variety and include:
Recent high school graduates.
More mature individuals who have
been away from school for quite
some time.
The one thing they have in
common?
A desire to work with children right
away and to learn how to be the best
teacher they can be.
What makes the Center different
from other teacher prep
programs?
Its a work-and-learn program. Heres
what we mean:
CLASSROOM APPRENTICESHIP
Youll spend your mornings in a
classroom teacher apprenticeship
position all four years.
Youll receive pay as well as college
credit.
Youll be mentored by a retired
master teacher who offers guidance
and support for the classroom
apprenticeship experience during all
four years of your program.
That means youll be part of the
school environment as a working,
contributing staff members while you
complete their college education.
ACADEMIC CLASSES
Youll major in a liberal arts program
with a concentration in English
and literacy that gives you a broad
foundation for teaching and learning
with your future students.
How can I learn more?
Just ask. Well tell you more and help
you decide if the Centers unique
program is for you.
Heres what youll do:
Spend your afternoons in academic
classes at the Center.
Focus on one academic class at a
time, permitting you to complete
course requirements for a math,
English or history class, for example,
in five weeks.
Come away from each classroom
experience richer in what youve
learned because youre focused more
clearly on the work at hand.
Immediately start taking classes to
learn how to teach all subject areas
to children and not wait until your
junior and senior years as in most
teacher prep programs.
Bring what you learn in the teaching
methods classes into your apprentice-
ship classroom immediately putting
into practice what you learn and seeing
for yourself what works.
Take advantage of special seminars
in educational technology and
classroom management techniques,
tapping instructional resources
found in the metropolitan area along
with a variety of helpful learning
experiences.
Is the Center for Urban Education
for me?
YES! If youre ready to take on the
challenge of earning a bachelor of arts
degree and becoming a master teacher
one who will do everything in your
power for the good of the students
who will be entrusted to you.
It will be your commitment and our
program that will make this happen.

Colorado Education Association filed
a lawsuit June 30 in Denver District Court
against the State Board of Educations
new rule that school districts must notify
parents when a school employee is arrest-
ed for a felony or other specific offenses.
We are seeking judicial review of the new
rule, as well as declaratory and injunctive
relief. The hearing date for the Motion for
Preliminary Injunction on the challenge to
the Parental Notification Rule has been
set for September 23, 2011 in Denver
District Court.
In the lawsuit, we allege the State Board
and Colorado Department of Education do
not have the authority to impose this rule
because doing so oversteps their authority to
supervise school districts and the manage-
ment of district employees. We view the rule
as unconstitutional and in conflict with state
laws regarding reporting of criminal offens-
es and protection of school district employ-
ees from false allegations.
At the heart of the matter is the legal
presumption that school district employees,
like all other citizens, are presumed innocent
until proven guilty. The new rule will
encourage parents and others to assume that
school district em-
ployees are guilty
without any due
process.
Once a per-
ception of miscon-
duct exists, em-
ployees who are
later exonerated
will remain stig-
matized in the
school community
and their authority
in the classroom
and in their jobs
will be under-
mined. The rule
does not support
its stated purpose
of providing a safe
learning environ-
ment. To the contrary, it will create fear and
unrest among students, parents, and school
employees in the school community.
Further, the rule is unnecessary.
Colorado school districts already assert
strong local control in school employee dis-
cipline. Anytime an employee at a public
school is accused of
a crime, the district
decides what is best
for school safety
and student well-
being. District offi-
cials often choose to
place the employee
on leave during an
investigation, sepa-
rating that person
from students if
there is even the
possibility of a safe-
ty concern.
The Association
has zero tolerance
for sexual miscon-
duct against stu-
dents, and we
believe every accu-
sation of miscon-
duct against a
school district
employee should be
treated seriously.
However, we cannot allow rules to stand that
degrade and punish education professionals
while having no discernable benefit to par-
ents, students, or other school district
employees.
Notification wont afford parents and
students any added protections against
someone who may have committed a crime
- but will give them plenty of worries and
fears about an accused person who didnt
commit a crime.
Lets face it bad things happen to
good people. A Colorado Springs teacher
related to us that she was nearly handcuffed
in school for allegedly stealing gas in a case
of mistaken identity. A relative of hers in the
teaching profession endured accusations of
sexual misconduct for two years before the
truth came out that the accusers were upset
about receiving a bad grade. This single
member example shows the court of public
opinion is an unjust, ugly place, and we
cant support laws that will drive fine educa-
tors into that abyss.
The parental notification rule does noth-
ing to further protect students, nothing to
alleviate the concerns of parents, but every-
thing to destroy the career of any school
employee wrongly accused. CEA believes
the court will ultimately entrust disciplinary
issues to the education professionals in our
communities who do right by our children
every day.

By Erin Bennett
Denver voters will have the
chance to make Denver a healthier
place to live by voting YES on
Initiative 300, the paid sick days city
ballot measure. Nearly 108,000
Denver workers 41 percent of the
workforce do not have paid sick
days. Most of these are lower-wage
workers who are forced to go into
work sick rather than risk not being
able to make ends meet at the end of
the month or even losing their job.
A lack of paid sick leave is a
huge public health issue. The work-
ers without paid sick days typically
have significant interaction with the
public. For example, you could be
getting more than you ordered with
your lunch. That's because over 72
percent of Denver's restaurant work-
ers servers and cooks do not get
a single paid sick day.
We exchange cash with you,
make your latte, hand you your pas-
try and yes, we sneeze, explained
Laura, a barista at a popular coffee
shop in Denver, at a Campaign for a
Healthy Denver event on the 16th
Street Mall. So if an employee had to come
to work with the flu because she couldnt
afford to miss work, you might be walking
out of the store with your double latte and the
flu.
While Initiative 300 will not directly
affect Denver Public School employees,
Initiative 300 would grant paid sick days for
thousands of parents across Denver, allowing
them to take guaranteed paid time off to care
for their sick children rather than leaving
them home alone to recuperate or go to
school anyway. In addition, childcare center
and preschool workers frequently dont have
paid sick days, putting the children in their
care at risk for illness. And when parents
have no paid sick days, many have no choice
but to send sick children to school where the
health of their classmates, teachers and child
care providers are put at risk. The result is
increased illnesses and higher rates of infec-
tion for all. Paid sick days policies are good
for working families.
Believe it or not, home health nurses,
Certified Nurse Assistants (CNAs) and nurs-
ing home staff frequently dont have paid
sick leave, either. Patients in hospitals, long-
term facilities, rehab centers and at home
already vulnerable to infection are put at
risk when these lower-wage workers have to
choose between economic survival and
patient safety.
The people who work at nursing facili-
ties should have paid sick days to protect
their patients, said Myra Crenshaw, a
Denver woman who helps her mother care
for her World War II veteran father. My
father caught a severe infection at a rehab
facility following a hospitalization for a leg
injury. That just shouldnt happen.
Initiative 300 would make it so that all
private sector workers in Denver will be able
to earn one hour of paid sick and safe time
for every 30 hours they work, up to nine days
annually for full time workers and pro-rated
for part-time employees once the measure
passes. Smaller businesses with fewer than
10 employees would be able to cap
paid sick and safe time to five days per
year. Companies that offer that much
paid time off of any kind vacation or
personal are in compliance with this
measure as long as they allow their
employees to use that paid time for
sick days and doctors visits.
Paid sick leave laws have benefit-
ted workers and businesses in cities
where they have been enacted. Six
in seven employers surveyed in San
Francisco, where a paid sick days
law has been in effect since 2007,
say that paid sick days have had no
negative effect on profitability, and
nearly 70 percent of employers in
that city support the law. Employees
have not abused the policy, using an
average of 3 days annually. Not only
are workers healthier and more pro-
ductive; they dont expose cus-
tomers, clients and patients to ill-
ness.
Recently nine professors at the
University of Denvers Daniels
College of Business came out in sup-
port of Initiative 300 because they
say its good for business. When
sick workers are able to stay home, the
spread of disease slows and workplaces are
healthier and more productive. Employees
with paid sick days are more loyal and stay
with their employer longer, reducing
turnover and replacement costs.
Real-life experience tells us businesses
are not going to have to close or relocate due
to this modest measure, said Dr. Cynthia
Fukami, a professor of business management
at D.U. The data and experience in San
Francisco and other places simply dont sup-
port this fear.
