COLORADO SPRINGS — Members of the Colorado Springs Education Association (CSEA) gathered outside of McAuliffe Elementary and schools across District 11 for a solidarity walk. This walk is a response to the district's decision to end its nearly 60-year contract with the association. The district says CSEA should not get to make decisions on behalf of the district and has no accountability to the voters. CSEA members and teachers at McAuliffe Elementary School say it's the students who will suffer.
