Budget

The district’s budget is developed with input from the community, business leaders, stakeholders, students and staff and is designed to maximize student achievement. It is used to develop curriculum, buy textbooks and supplies, to transport students to school, to feed them and maintain and heat buildings. The largest portion of the budget is used to pay salaries and provide medical benefits for teachers and support staff.

Resources

Jeffco Public Schools funding comes from both state and local sources. Each year, the budget created by the state legislature and the governor determines how much of the state’s total budget is allocated to education. The portion allocated for K-12 education is then divided among 178 school districts throughout the state using the state’s School Finance Act funding formulas. The district also receives local funding from property tax and specific ownership tax.
