Strong Schools. One Future.
Jeffco Public Schools is at a crossroads.
Our district serves approximately 75,000 students, but Jeffco receives less public funding per student than neighboring Front Range school districts and ranks at the bottom of those districts in teacher pay. At the same time, aging schools require ongoing repairs and maintenance that existing resources cannot adequately cover.
This November, Jeffco voters have an opportunity to address both challenges through two strategic funding ballot measures: 5A + 5B.
