🏫 D11 Approves Teacher Pay, Adds Bonuses

Colorado Springs District 11 Board of Education has approved a salary increase for teachers, effective July 1. The new agreement includes a one percent raise and a $5,000 signing bonus for teachers at chronically understaffed schools. Additionally, long-serving support staff will receive an annual bonus of $350. The district aims to address significant staffing shortages and enhance the recruitment and retention of qualified educators.

🏘️ HOT Team Faces Daily Challenges in the Springs

Colorado Springs Police Department's Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) is dedicated to offering resources and enforcing the law for the unhoused population. The team responds to numerous calls daily, often dealing with hazardous conditions. With the number of chronically homeless individuals rising and an increase in crime, the team has cleared over 300 felony warrants and 2,000 misdemeanor warrants annually. Despite their efforts, many individuals refuse assistance, complicating the resolution of homelessness issues.
