Date: September 30th, 2014 3:29 PM Author: chest-beating greedy athletic conference lodge On Monday, two Jefferson County, Denver, high schools were shut down due to the vast majority of teachers calling in sick. According to the Denver Post, 52 of 65 teachers at Golden called in sick after 8 p.m. on Sunday, while 27 of 37 teachers at Jefferson were absent as well.
Superintendent Dan McMinimee threatened disciplinary action, noting that they would dock teachers a day’s pay, while school board president Ken Witt expressed disapproval: “I’m very disappointed that some of our instructors have chosen not to turn up for work today. It is not appropriate for adult matters to impact the education of our students.”
The closings follow a number of protests by both faculty and students who object to two changes recently proposed by their county’s school board. Witt is referring to the first, a pay-grade system linking teacher salaries to performance reviews, which has already been enacted. The second (casually ignored by the board president) seeks to alter the AP U.S. History curriculum.
The history proposal reads: “Materials should promote citizenship, patriotism, essentials, and benefits of the free enterprise system, respect for authority, and respect for individual rights. Materials should not encourage or condone civil disorder, social strife, or disregard of the law. Instructional materials should present positive aspects of the United States and its heritage.”
