Denver teachers went on strike Monday after failing to reach a pay deal with administrators. The struggle between the two sides has been going on for around a year now, causing multiple reports of walk outs. Denver Public Schools on Twitter had the following to say:

We're disappointed that the DCTA walked away from the table. We presented an updated proposal that responds to what we have heard from teachers, aligns to our values of equity and retention, honors the ProComp ballot language and significantly increases the base pay for teachers.
