    $135 million tax increase pitched as a solution for Jeffco Public Schools’ budget gap

    Jeffco Public Schools is considering a $135 million tax increase to address a budget gap, with proposed funds allocated for teacher salaries, career and technical education, technology, and safety upgrades. The tax would raise property taxes by $3.58 monthly per $100,000 of a home's value, but the district faces challenges including declining enrollment, aging population, and skepticism over past spending. A November ballot measure could lead to deeper cuts like school closures or layoffs if rejected.
