As
I shared with all DPS team members today, we have also committed to making deep central office budget cuts in order to fund this proposal. From these cuts, we have committed that $7 million from school supports in the central office will be reinvested in teacher and SSP compensation. We are also planning to use funding from Gov. Polis’ proposed budget to help fund our proposal. If the planned funds from the Governor’s budget fall through, we will still honor this financial commitment.
Today, we hoped to see a counter-proposal from DCTA. Although we continued conversations, we did not see a written response from DCTA. We are committed to coming back on Thursday, ready to get to work to find common ground and reach an agreement by Friday.
In the meantime, here are some ways to stay engaged:
- Stay informed. Find out what your base salary would be under DPS’ latest proposal by using the salary finder here. If you have any questions after using the salary finder, please email us at greatteachers@dpsk12.org.
- Make your voice heard. Please share your thoughts with us by emailing greatteachers@dpsk12.org and with your DCTA representatives.
- Join the conversation. Participate in the telephone town hall tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. You'll receive a call to join the town hall at the contact number you shared with us. If you’d rather join from another number, you can call in to the town hall by dialing 877-229-8493 and entering 110303.
Warm Regards,
Susana
