Last week, the Denver Classroom Teachers Association outlined to the Denver Public Schools system its proposal for the state's only union-run public charter school. The preschool through eighth-grade program would focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics. "A group of teachers came together and we have been meeting about what our ideal school would be like, said DCTA President Kim Ursetta. "We'd be on the cutting edge of reform and best practices from across the country and around the world, she added. Union-led public charter schools already have been formed in New York, Florida and California. "The more different types of choices the better," said Alan Gottlieb, vice president for policy and business engagement at the Public Education & Business Coalition. "If they want to try to run a choice school on their own terms and prove that it works along the lines of (Denver School of Science & Technology), great."
