Today's Rocky Mountain News has a 2 page article on ProComp, and Nancy Mitchell did a good job overall in laying out the issues around ProComp. Also open for negotiation is our entire contract- including issues around "time to teach", and peer assistance and review.
I want to set the record straight regarding our new teachers. DCTA wants all teachers to get a raise across the board. We want new teachers to have a salary that is comparable with the metro area. We are proposing that new teachers get across the board increases (in salary) , and bonuses (in addition to salary) that will allow Denver to lead the market as promised to Denver teachers and voters.
DCTA remains committed to negotiating a fair and equitable settlement so that we can attract and retain quality teachers in Denver Public Schools... our kids deserve it!
