CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING HOURS Monday Friday 8:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Walk-in or call Coloradoan information at (970) 493-6397 PART OF THE USA TODAY NETWORK Two Republican senators proposed a bill Friday that seeks to prohibit public school teacher strikes. The bill came as Poudre School District and others announced they would can- cel class Friday to accommo- date large numbers of teach- ers who called out of work to advocate at the Capitol for more K-12 funding and re- tirement Sen.

Bob Gardner, R-Col- orado Springs, and Rep. Paul Lundeen, R-Monument, sponsored SB18-264. The bill would authorize school districts to seek an injunc- tion from district court if teachers directly or indirect- ly induced, instigated, en- couraged, authorized, rati- or participated in a strike. If public school teachers chose not to comply with the injunction, it would consti- tute as contempt of court. Teachers could then, ac- cording to the bill, be pun- ished with up to six months in county jail.

The bill would allow school districts to immedi- ately terminate employment without a hear- ing. If a teacher organization was found in contempt, any collective bargaining agree- ment negotiated by the or- ganization would be ren- dered null and void. Teacher organizations, like Poudre Education Asso- ciation that represents PSD's teachers, help negoti- ate employee agreements, which include teacher salary schedules. They also advo- cate for teachers legislative- ly. The bill would also bar districts from paying teach- ers for any day they partici- pate in a demonstration.

About 50 percent of PSD teachers and more than 1,000 members total plan to participate in a dem- onstration in Denver on Fri- day to advocate for more K-12 education funding and retirement protec- tions. Most, if not all, of those employees will be us- ing paid time for the day. But with a House con- trolled by Democrats, the bill is unlikely to pass. "But it certainly shows where the lines are drawn," said Tom List, president of Poudre Education Associa- tion.

CORRECTION A two-car crash closed a northeast Fort Collins inter- section for nearly eight hours Monday morning as police worked to investigate the scene.

Fort Collins police re- sponded to the report of a two-car collision just before 2 a.m. Monday in the 1300 block of East Vine Drive, near its intersection with Lemay Avenue. According to police, a 31- year-old Fort Collins man was driving a 2018 Toyota sedan westbound on Vine Drive when his vehicle was rear-ended by a 1999 Volks- wagen Passat, which was also traveling westbound. After the crash, an occu- pant from the Passat ran from the scene and was not located, police said. The other occupant in the Passat sustained serious injuries that were not life-threaten- ing and was transported to Poudre Valley Hospital.

The driver of the Toyota was treated and released at the scene. Police are still working to identify the oc- cupants of the Passat. Investigators believe al- cohol and speed may have been factors in the crash, and the crash is still under investigation. Anyone who has infor- mation and has not spoken to law enforcement may contact Tim Brennan at 970-416-2229.
