Jeffco Schools Face $49M Deficit, Cuts Loom
01:48|Jeffco Public Schools, Colorados second-largest district, is grappling with a severe budget crisis, with a projected deficit of forty-nine million dollars. The district has lost five million dollars in state funding due to a significant drop in enrollment, exacerbated by falling birth rates and mass deportations. To tackle the deficit, theyve cut fifty jobs and eliminated one hundred thirty-nine full-time positions. These cuts will lead to reduced services, including less support for social-emotional learning, slower cleaning and repairs, fewer meal options, and delays in finding substitute teachers. The district is now seeking a fifteen million dollar mill levy from voters to avoid further layoffs. Checkout Solipillow.com
