Members of Colorado’s Industrial Areas Foundation — a national organization of faith leaders, unions and community organizations — joined the group of teachers, DPS children and parents who filled the bargaining room at the Department of Extended Learning and Community Schools building.
The group, including the NAACP’s Billy Williams and local faith leaders and teachers from neighboring districts, asked to speak with DPS officials and then headed upstairs, encircling Cordova and Ferrandino in a small room. Members took turns presenting a speech that critiqued the district’s “bloated administration,” accused the district of a “divide and conquer” approach around speaking to teachers about negotiations, and quoted Scripture in noting: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” More here.
