Gov. Polis statement on tentative agreement between DCTA and DPS

DENVER - Gov. Jared Polis today issued the following statement on the tentative agreement between Denver Public Schools and the Denver Classroom Teachers Association: 

“I am pleased that after months of negotiations, both sides stepped up, worked together, and found a solution that works for our district, our educators, our parents, and most importantly our children.

While it's unfortunate that this agreement was not reached prior to the strike, today’s results are a testament to Denver Public Schools and the Denver Classroom Teachers Association’s commitment to working together in the best interest of our children.

Denver’s kids are the biggest winners in today’s agreement, and I think everyone is relieved that the strike is over and students and teachers will be back in school working together to build a brighter future for themselves and our community.”
