Littleton Elementary School District votes against idea to address teacher shortage

The Littleton Elementary School District voted against an"outside the box" idea to address their teacher shortage on Tuesday.

"I have not been able to find answers. I think they deserve that before the district goes through with such a controversial move,” said Kristin Roberts. Roberts is a teacher with another district and part of a non-profit organization called Save Our Schools Arizona."They are, from all accounts, run as a charter model. They are a charter school. The district looks like it is going to be handing off a lot of control of the day-to-day operations,” added Alicia Lucas.

"The misconception about privatized entities managing any school either charter or whatever you call it, is not ethical,” said State Representative Leeza Elsa Sun.

So basically let one more layer of capitalists skim some money off the top before it trickles down to the teachers. Great idea!
