Denver - No Way on 3A!

[Coloradan4Truth]

Here are a few myths and facts about measure 3A.

The additional $25 million will not improve student
performance or teacher retention, because DPS
is severely mismanaged. See our blog (bottom of page)
and pass the word. Join our discussion! Find out how
DPS uses secret records and private policy making to violate
the Civil Rights of teachers and undermine public education.

Myth:
. Teachers support ProComp
Fact:
. Most teachers have questions about the execution of
ProComp that have not been addressed

Myth:
. Teachers get a 3% raise for hard to staff schools
and subjects
Fact:
. Teachers get 3% of a pre-set, low, base - not their
current pay

Myth:
. DPS does not have the money to pay teachers well
without ProComp
Fact:
. DPS has plenty of money. Denver has one of the
highest per-student-cost districts in the nation. DPS
increased its central administration four-fold five
years ago and the quality of costly decision-making
got worse - not better.

Myth:
. ProComp will use objective goals to determine who
gets increases in pay
Fact:
. The goal-making structure proposed by ProComp
encourages an individualized, subjective framework --
not an organizational, objective one.

Myth:
. ProComp would use existing procedures and cause very
little increase in paperwork
Fact:
. ProComp is complex and admin-intensive, and would
add another layer to teachers' full workload.
