Talks to end three-day Denver teachers strike resume after progress reportedNegotiators for striking Denver teachers and the city school district returned to the bargaining table on Wednesday after a productive session the previous day, as the walkout affecting 92,000 students entered a third day. The two sides sounded an optimistic note on Tuesday after resuming talks that had broken off on Saturday, and went late into the night seeking to resolve differences over a variable pay system, known as ProComp, which has been at the center of the dispute. “We exchanged proposals that are moving us closer and are hopeful that we will get to an agreement soon,” union President Henry Roman and schools Superintendent Susana Cordova said in a joint statement late on Tuesday.
