Denver public school district officials are trying to change the nationally acclaimed performance-based pay system for Denver teachers Their proposed changes would remove incentives for experienced teachers, create quotas, and reduce accountability.
 
Call the school board and tell them to keep reform moving forward.

    I haven’t heard these ads. Where are they playing? Is there a copy of the audio floating around on the Internet somewhere?

    I’d be shocked to see Karl Rove doing any work for the teachers union. Nor is it quite slimy enough to be the handiwork of James Carville or Paul Begala. Regardless, the rhetoric comes out of some parallel universe - I mean, how dare Bennet and the school board stand in the way of DCTA’s bold plan to move reform forward!

    Please excuse me while I clean up the milk that just shot out of my nose.
