Contributed by: Jeffco Public Schools on 8/22/2008

The Jefferson County Board of Education unanimously voted on Thursday, Aug. 21, to place a 4.4 mill levy increase and a $350 million bond issue on the November 2008 ballot. The mill levy authorizes up to $34 million for Jeffco Public Schools to be used for operating expenses. The ballot language states the money will be used for educational purposes including but not limited to:

Expanding options for career job skills and technical training to prepare students for today's work world
Supporting increased graduation requirements
Expanding math and science offerings in high school
Purchasing textbooks and technology
Maintaining teachable class sizes
Paying for increased fuel costs to run school buses

The bond money would be earmarked for hundreds of school repairs and upgrades throughout the district.
