Board Recognitions
Guidelines for Board Recognitions
A goal of Jeffco’s Board is to recognize the accomplishments of Jeffco staff, students and community members who advance the district’s vision, mission and values in Jeffco’s strategic plan.
The Board’s recognition program selects individuals who go above and beyond to achieve an award or accomplishment. Each month at a regular board meeting during the school year, these individuals are celebrated by the Board.
Any Team Jeffco employee can nominate an individual by completing a recognition form. Criteria for nominations is included below. Jeffco’s Board members review submissions to determine which individuals fit the criteria and select people to recognize each month.
