Jeffco teachers’ union says court ruling ‘eviscerates privacy rights’ of public employees

CBS4 (Denver):  Two years after teachers at four Jefferson County high schools staged a sickout the school district has released the names of teachers absent on the days in question.

The move follows a court battle over a public information request submitted by Kathy Littlefield, a mother from Golden.

The list includes 38 teachers from Golden High School, 16 teachers from Conifer High School, 25 teachers from Jefferson High School and 26 teachers from Standley Lake High School who were absent during the sickout days in September of 2014.

CBS4 has decided not to publish the names because there is no differentiation between teachers who were sick for legitimate reasons and those who were sick as part of the protest.

Two years later Littlefield told CBS4 she still wanted the list because “I don’t want my kids to have these teachers.”
