Board Legislative Agenda
Jeffco Public Schools appreciates the strong relationships between district leadership and state policymakers. It’s critical that the district and state legislators partner together to meet the needs of K-12 students. In that spirit of collaboration, Jeffco’s leadership and board have a strong interest in ongoing and frequent communication specific to development and introduction of legislation that impacts public education generally, and Jeffco Public Schools specifically. We must engage consistently so that legislation is responsive to the needs of K-12 students and is contextualized within the realities of locally controlled school districts.
Currently, the Board of Education is committed to uplifting the following topics.
