Colorado SB 191
Up for vote

Today!

Call!

We're Almost There! Help Us Achieve Great Teachers and Leaders that will provide an Excellent Education for ALL Colorado Students!

This morning, SB 191, the "Ensuring Quality Instruction through Educator Effectiveness," bill, or EQuITEE, passed the House Appropriations Committee with a 7-6 vote! Next up: A vote by the House of Representatives.

This bill will require teachers be responsible for the outcome of their teaching efforts with students.  It will directly match teaching effort with student success.  Children at risk will have a significantly better chance of success because the teachers will have a stake in their success!

The vote on the House floor can happen as early as tonight or tomorrow morning so now more than ever will our phone calls, emails and signatures matter!
