COMMUNITY BUDGET FORUMS

As part of the 2021/2022 budget development process, the district held four virtual community budget forums with Jeffco Board members, the interim superintendent, the interim chief financial officer and the finance director to give community members an opportunity for a dialogue regarding the difficult budget reduction decisons that the Board will need to make for the 2021/2022 school year. The community was invited to engage in discussion regarding values and the challenges of making trade-off decisions.
