2010 - 2011 Budget Development Process

A message from your Chief Financial Officer . . .
Thank you for your interest in Jeffco Public Schools.  For the past several months, the district has continued to provide up-to-date information regarding current budget projections.  Historically, enrollment, inflation, and compensation negotiations have been the key variables in developing our high level budget projections.  Unfortunately, the economy and the resulting impacts on state funding continues to cause uncertainty in projecting 2010-2011 resources.

The district remains in sound financial condition. The Second Quarter Financial Report and the 2009 Comprehensive Financial Reports both reflect the strategic financial leadership of the Board of Education. Read More.
