Colorado Teachers Also Push For More Funding

Teachers in other states have also been trying to communicate the need for more funding. We’ve heard a lot from educators in West Virginia and Oklahoma but today we're here with the results of another western state's movement.

Colorado teachers rallied over two days last week at the state capitol in Denver. And, to get a sense of what some of the issues are there and what the teachers are asking for, The Show got a hold of Erica Meltzer, the Colorado bureau chief for Chalkbeat, which is an online news site focusing on education issues.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
