Rally kicks off ground campaign
ington D.C. during the president’s fundraising event in his honor, a move seen as trying to limit his association to a president with struggling poll numbers. At Friday’s rally, the Democrats presented a unified front against Udall’s Republican opponent, Corey Gardner. Warren praised Udall as a “fighter” for the middle class, and especially women. “Corey Gardner believes women are doing just fine. They’re worth 77 cents on the dollar. They can make ‘most’ of their own health care choices,” Warren said. Colorado U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and Perlmutter also spoke. The senate race between Udall and Gardner is seen as one of the most competitive in the nation, and could be pivotal in deciding political control of the Senate come November. In response to the news that Warren would be stumping for Udall, the National Republican Senatorial Committee released a statement, criticizing Udall for aligning himself with her “extreme agenda.” The statement specifically noted Warren’s opposition to the Keystone Pipeline and support of a European-style health care system. “Democrats in Washington have panicked and are calling in the cavalry to save Mark Udall, who’s running a stale and tired campaign,” said NRSC Press Secretary Brook Hougesen.

gwallace@colorado communitymedia.com Colorado Sen. Mark Udall and fellow Democrat candidates on the November ballot held a rally Friday afternoon, marking the kick-off of their ground campaign, bolstered by a visit from Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. More than a hundred volunteers and spectators filled the Wheat Ridge campaign office of Congressman Ed Perlmutter, DGolden, for the event. “It’s time to get the word out!” Udall said to the crowd, many of whom had come to the rally to receive initial training on volunteering for his campaign. Udall noted that mail-in ballots will be sent out in October. Udall helped introduce Warren, calling her “a fearless advocate for consumer protection,” and touted his work with the Massachusetts senator on the issues of credit protection and college loan affordability. The warm welcome for Warren, a highprofile advocate for financial reform and progressive causes, comes two months after a visit to Denver by President Barack Obama. In contrast, Udall stayed in Wash-

The board of education approved (3-2, Witt, Williams, Newkirk) a proposed compensation model for licensed employees. The new model (http://goo.gl/dlS3uW ) would raise the district’s entrylevel salary to $38,000 and provide a 2.6 percent increase to all licensed employees within the district. Proposed by Board President, Ken Witt, during the Aug. 28 regular meeting, the model would ensure effective and highly effective teachers receive a stipend or an increase, and attract more effective teachers to the district. District staff will now move forward with the Model 2 compensation plan, continuing to finesse the finer points of this schedule for the district’s 5,200 licensed employees and look at defining the over market pay range for the district.

Student based budgeting As part of the budget update presentation, the finance team discussed the move to a Student Based Budgeting model. This model (http://goo.gl/uKMnWd) would allocate funds based on individual student needs, flowing resources to the school level. By switching to the student based budgeting model, school administrators will receive more training on new technologies and have more autonomy to reach their achievement goals. The next board of education meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m, Thursday, Sept. 18, at the Jefferson County Education Center, 1829 Denver West Dr., Golden. — Compiled by Crystal Anderson
