In this one Colorado outgoing Governor passes a stinky bit of gas in the form of SB191. This supposed reform law was intended to help the state of Colorado secure the Race To The Top funds. Of course the state did not get the funds, but still gets saddled with this travesty. It will likely be struck down or modified in the coming years. It is a shame that the state will have to spend more money to defend a crappy law. Ritter signed it just before he left office. He signed it even though he had put in place a group to study teacher performance pay and was proceeding in a more thoughtful way. But suddenly RTTT comes along and the Colorado Legislators decide to ram though SB191. Co-sponsored by Chris Romer(D) the bill is a thinly veiled attempt to remove due process rights of teachers and inserts student scores on CSAP into teacher evaluations.
