Mill Levy Override Committee

This district committee provides oversight accountability to mill levy override fund stewardship. 

In 2018, Jeffco voters approved a mill levy override (MLO) to provide ongoing funding to Jeffco Public Schools. Priorities identified for funding included:

  • Expanding STEM and career/technical education
  • Attracting and retaining high-quality teachers and staff
  • Improving student safety and mental health services
  • Updating classroom materials, books and technology
  • Expanding early education programs

Purpose of the Committee

The Mill Levy Override Committee (MLOC) is a district advisory committee created to review MLO funding investments, providing oversight, transparency and accountability for the community regarding:

  • The 2018 Mill Levy Override (MLO) investments
  • Any future voter-approved MLOs for Jeffco Public Schools

The committee does not decide how MLO funds are spent or invested. Its role is to provide oversight and help ensure transparency for the community that funds are being used to invest in the identified priority areas, including receiving updates when the needs of students and community members have evolved over time. Under Colorado law, annual decisions about the use of MLO funds rest solely with the Board of Education as part of its responsibility for financial oversight of the school district. 

Responsibilities of the Committee

  • Receives reports specific to MLO revenue from the Finance Department 
  • Ensures funds match the categories of investment as outlined 
  • Meets once per semester

Mill Levy Override Committee Members

  • Two community members from each director district
  • The Superintendent or designee

  • The Chief of Schools or designee
  • District administrators in charge of certain investment areas, as determined by the Superintendent, and as agendas require
  • Three to five (3-5) representative staff members from each employee group; administrators, certified educators, and educational support staff
    • JCEA, JESPA and JCAA will each identify three to five (3-5) staff representatives for this committee
