The November 8 ballot will have two questions that will affect Jeffco Schools – 3A ($33M Mill Levy Override) and 3B ($535M Bond Initiative).
If passed, the money from the $535M Bond Initiative will go towards improvements and repairs to 110 schools, major renovations/additions of 45 schools and facilities; 4 replacement and 3 new elementary schools; and security upgrades. The $33M from the Mill Levy Override would provide increased compensation for teachers; more funding for STEM initiatives; and cover funding gaps if the state reduces funding.
