Jeffco School Board Votes on Tax Increase | Denver News

Jeffco school board faces a pivotal vote this Thursday on two major property tax hikes totaling $133 million — $73 million for teacher pay and career programs, plus $60 million for critical facility repairs like air conditioning, asbestos removal, and safe drinking water. Parents are already feeling the strain from recent cuts, including fewer counselors and self-funded essentials. Without approval, the district warns of more cuts and failing infrastructure. If passed, voters will decide in November — with hopes that funds will be integrated into next year’s budget to finally close the funding gap and meet state averages.
