Like many school districts, Jeffco Public Schools is facing tough budget challenges. One of the ways the district hopes to save money is through a more efficient use of district facilities. The Facilities Usage Committee has been analyzing the use of school facilities based on six criteria.
See the Facilities Usage Web page for complete details and tapes of meetings.
View an interview with Committee Co-chair Phillip Infelise.
No final decisions have been made yet regarding facilities. The Committee has created a list of options for consideration and options cost estimates. Parents and community members have a chance to have their voice heard in a number of ways:
All feedback must be received by midnight, Thursday, Nov. 19.
After public input is received, the recommended options will be presented to the Board of Education in January.
