What we're up against: privatization.
The movement to privatize schools is diverting billions of public funding from public schools into private pockets.
The stakes
The alarming rise of privatization.
Students are losing necessary resources — most acutely impacting our special education students. Educators are losing their jobs, and the educators that remain are too often forced to manage impossible caseloads and class sizes for a salary that has never provided a livable wage. Neighborhoods and communities are being fractured, as neighborhood public schools have been forced to close due to under-enrollment.
The growing privatization movement has placed immense pressure on educators and families across Colorado Springs, driving us to organize to win safe, well-resourced, and joyful public neighborhood schools.
