NEWS RELEASE
COLORADO EDUCATION ASSOCIATION
*************************
DENVER, CO - It has been reported in local media that the Colorado Education Association (CEA) headquarters building at 1500 Grant Street in Denver is for sale. The following statement can be attributed to Amie Baca-Oehlert, high school counselor and president of the Colorado Education Association:
“The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on our daily lives in measurable and immeasurable ways. It has also provided us many lessons learned and has spawned an era of innovation and new ways of thinking and doing business. With this in mind, last year, the member-elected CEA Board of Directors began evaluating the needs of the union and weighing how best to support the 39,000 members from across the state. Subsequently, they voted to put the headquarters building up for sale and look to alternative sites from which our staff could better support our members across the state.
"The Colorado Education Association is 39,000 educators strong from across the state of Colorado, not a building. No matter where the physical building of the CEA is located, members will continue to be a strong voice for our students, our colleagues and our profession and will continue our fight for the schools our students, families and educators deserve.”
