Attracting and Retaining Teachers

The changes the district has proposed during negotiations with the Denver Classroom Teachers Association would result next year in the largest increases to teacher compensation in the modern history of public education in the State of Colorado. Click here to download the latest PowerPoint presentation describing the district's proposal.  

At the core of the proposal is the fundamental belief that today's tax dollars should be spent to benefit today's teachers who are serving today's kids. The vast majority of ProComp money would be spent paying for base-building increments, but the proposals also increase significantly the size of non-base building incentives (e.g. to teach in a hard-to-serve school). Simply put, over two thirds of ProComp money under the proposals would be spent on base-building elements.

The district's proposal would be a huge step forward to helping achieve what should be a shared goal - better attracting and retaining strong teachers.
