flag Teachers in Colorado Springs struck over loss of bargaining rights, demanding voice in school policies.

flag Hundreds of teachers in Colorado Springs School District 11 walked out on October 8, 2025, in a one-day strike over the district’s decision to replace a 56-year-old collective bargaining agreement with a non-binding handbook, which union leaders say erodes educator rights. flag The protest, involving over 1,000 demonstrators at multiple schools, was supported by students and community members who criticized the board’s political decisions, including actions affecting transgender students. flag Despite the strike, all schools opened on time with instruction continuing via substitutes and administrative staff. flag The district maintained that teacher pay and benefits remain unchanged and praised staff professionalism, while union leaders emphasized the need for educator voice in shaping school policies and supporting student success.
