Save the date for community budget forums

Jeffco Public Schools is conservatively planning for $50 - 60 million in budget reductions over the next two years (2012-2014).  The Citizens’ Budget Advisory Council has developed a prioritized list of suggestions for reductions; the list is the result of hundreds of community members and staff working since the fall to identify the suggestions for reductions.  Members of the Jeffco Board of Education will hold community budget forums on Saturday, Jan. 28, from 9 - 10:30 a.m. at Arvada, Columbine, Evergreen, Ralston Valley and Bear Creek high schools.  All interested community members are invited to attend. Keep in mind that no final decisions about the budget have been made.
