      ICYMI: Thousands of Colorado teachers demonstrated at the state Capitol for better wages and greater support for public education last week. As a former Superintendent, here are some of my thoughts on the rallies. 👇🏼

      First and foremost, we must listen to our teachers and educators. It was great to see former colleagues and friends on Friday as they spoke out about their experiences. #edcolopic.twitter.com/tfJ7BIPjZZ

      A few important stats: Colorado teachers are now earning less than they did 15 years ago, when compared to inflation. The gap between what a college graduate makes as a teacher and what she could make in another profession in our state is the largest in the country.

      Shrinking state budgets have increased class sizes, reduced vital support for students like mental health services & special education, and sometimes slashed school weeks to 4 days. We cannot allow mindless budget shortfalls to force wrongheaded changes to our kids' education.

      Coloradans want to take the long view and invest in our state’s future. To do this, we cannot neglect our schools. As a first step, we must find some way to prune the fiscal underbrush that threatens so deeply our investments in the future. Our children deserve better.

      The Colorado teacher walkouts are part of a growing movement around the country. Read more on why it's so important that we listen to our teachers:https://www.denverpost.com/2018/04/26/listening-to-our-teachers/ …

          Being a Senator of our state you should know that the state doesn't set the pay for teachers the school districts do.

          The teacher walkouts are also counter to the reform policies you started as DPS superintendent. @kap4kids

          We were there too. I learned a lot about TABOR. It seriously needs to be repealed, or nothing meaningful can be done.

          Will you listen to the parents of the ~182,000 #dyslexic children in the state of #Colorado who are being denied #FAPE? We are the #1in5 and we are done with this.
