Facilities Usage Committee - How the Forums Will Work

As part of Jeffco Public Schools effort to reduce costs and identify efficiencies, the district is examining all areas of operation, including how schools and facilities are used throughout the district.  Over 30 community and district volunteers were chosen to serve on a Facilities Usage Committee to help the district determine the most efficient and effective use of its buildings.

• People wishing to speak should come 30 minutes before the start of the meeting
• You must sign up to speak.
• People from the articulation area where the forum is being held will be the first priority speakers - those from surrounding articulation areas will follow. (For example, at the Alameda High School meeting, people from the Alameda, Jefferson, Green Mountain and Lakewood articulation areas will have first speaking priority.)

• Each person will get two minutes to speak and 30 seconds for the comments to be reviewed.
• Large groups of people with similar comments and concerns are encouraged to select a spokesperson - that person will be given six minutes. (The time allowed for a group has changed from nine minutes to six minutes.)
• Because a large turnout is expected, it is not necessary or encouraged to attend more than one forum. People or groups who have spoken at one forum will be the last priority for speaking at the remaining forums.
• The forums will be documented through official notes and audio recordings (the recordings will be available here.
