Mike just quoted this from the Rocky Mountain News:
Nearly two dozen teachers from Denver's Montclair Elementary took a field trip of their own Friday--to their union headquarters to urge a vote on the school's six-week-old request for autonomy.Montclair is the third Denver Public School, and the first elementary, to seek freedoms from district and union rules in budgeting, hiring and scheduling.
While it's encouraging that Denver high school teachers are demanding more freedom from union rules, one wonders, didn't any of this school's twenty-four protesting teachers have classes to teach on Friday?
