“We have the deepest pockets but we still have plenty of needs,” Halvorsen said Monday at the Teacher’s Day of Action at the State Capitol. “ It’s an unfair system in terms of how this money is doled out.” The State of Colorado provides funding to districts based on the number of students that attend school there. Wealthier districts also tap into property taxes as a second major source of funding. Just across the street from Cherry Creek, Englewood closed schools Monday because so many of their teachers took part in the protest. “I have 36 students in my classroom in Englewood and that’s because of funding,” said fourth grade teacher Sara Spala. But as far as salary goes, Englewood was in the middle of the pack averaging 53,000 per year. Close to Jefferson County at $57,000, Douglas County at $53,000 and Denver at $50,000. Compare that to rural schools on the Easter Plains.
