The Colorado Education Paradox: Unparalleled economic prosperity alongside schools that are starving for resources and thirsty for respect.

This is why @DenverTeachers voted to strike yesterday. https://t.co/AGjsZf1OwC #RedforEd #DCTAstrong

Today, CEA priority bill HB 1064, Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact, passed out of House Ed w/ bi-partisan support. We thank bill sponsors and CEA members for standing in support of educators working in CO. #EDColo #SchoolsOurStudentsDeserve

“@RepPerlmutter was a tireless advocate for public school funding at the local, state & federal levels, outspoken about the importance of special education & worked hard at the federal level to upgrade technology for all schools.” #thankyou #copolitics #coleg

[Colorado Education Association @ColoradoEA]

We thank @RepPerlmutter for his never ending support and advocacy for Colorado’s educators and students.

We wish Congressman Perlmutter & his family well as they begin their next chapter. We will miss his strong voice in championing public education.

All workers, including the public sector workers who do essential work in our communities, deserve the freedom to join together in a union.

Joining together means having a say in our workplaces, pay & benefits that match the skills we have & work we do, & more.

Today's @ColoradoEA report on the state of CO schools was the bleakest I've heard in 11 yrs. Teachers exhausted, overloaded, many quitting, 2/3rds considering quitting. Severe staff shortage in underfunded system leaves students' needs unmet. Story tomorrow a.m. #edcolo #coleg

Support the For the People Act (S.1/H.R. 1), the most comprehensive democracy reform bill in decades. #VotingRightsAct #ForthePeopleAct https://t.co/YUDez8TWTX

Thanks to Sens. @domoreno @pettersen4co & Reps. @Kennedy4CO @mjweissman for sponsoring & all legislators who support this bill for greater transparency on ballot measures. Please don’t delay @GovofCO on passing HB 1321. #coleg #copolitics

[Colorado Education Association @ColoradoEA]

Call or email @GovofCO NOW to urge him to support HB21-1321, Voter Transparency In Ballot Measures. Colorado voters deserve greater transparency and clarity in ballot measures that impact funding and tax policy. #edcolo #coleg

Today, we saw an attack on our democracy & a dangerous attempt to undermine an election that saw voters turn out in record numbers.

Here's a thread of resources for educators to help talk about what happened w/ our students.

Ty to members who helped compile these resources!

[NEA @NEAToday]

Our nation hasn't witnessed an event like today in recent history and it’s difficult to make sense of the scenes, let alone explain them to our children. But what's important to remind them of is that Americans are uniting to support justice and democracy.

We must come together, to show our students and children, that we know what keeps us safe. We will stand together against politicians who incite violence, empowering the anarchists who have violently stormed the Capitol attempting to overturn the will of the people.

CO spends $3,000 LESS per pupil than national average, drops to 43rd in EdWeeks' analysis using 2017 federal data. CO is tied for third lowest in the nation for the percent of a state’s taxable resources spent on education. https://t.co/Wztu0jhehQ #edcolo #coleg #SchoolFinance

It's National Teacher Day, and if there's anything we can be sure of these days, it's that there’s no replacement for teachers. Please take a moment to #ThankATeacher today. #RespectPublicEmployees

CO schools are facing devastating cuts without fully recovering from prior cuts. It took the state 11 years to recover from 2008 and state share of ed funding never recovered. #OurCOFuture #coleg @Dlesgar @domoreno @McCluskieforCO @votebobrankin @KimRansom @Zenzinger_AtoZ
