What is the plan to pursue future Bond measures to more permanently address the fiscal situation at Jeffco?
Bond issue elections relate to building improvements. Jeffco passed bond issues in 1997 and in 2004. The 2004 Bond Program is being completed. The plan for the next bond is being developed based on an independent evaluation of all facilities in Jeffco. However, we currently have no plans for an election. Mill levy override elections provide operational funds. Jeffco passed mill levy overrides in 1999 and in 2004. Again, we have no plans currently for an election. While tax elections are the only way to provide additional funds for school districts, we must see that our community supports increases in property taxes during these hard economic times.
