The League of Women Voters of Jefferson County’s Education Interest Group will present a program the evening of Thursday, Feb. 5 from 6 to 7:30 pm about Jeffco Public School District’s budget to consider the funding challenges facing the district. The program will examine what is causing the large budget deficit and the strategies the district is considering to address it. The League will partner with Jeffco Unitarian Church to host the event. The main speaker will be Superintendent Tracy Dorland.  She will speak about the structure of the district budget, the causes of the deficit, and the current and future budget cuts being considered.  A reaction panel composed of Jeffco Public Schools’ employees will respond to her presentation, to be followed by a Q-and-A session.  Speakers will also discuss the possibility of a Mill Levy Override (MLO) election in the fall.
