Several education and support areas in Jeffco Public Schools will get additional funding this year thanks to the tax increase approved by voters in November.
The Jeffco Public Schools board unanimously approved a supplemental budget appropriation of nearly $2.5 million for its current budget. The money will go to career technical education, STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), safety and mental health support, and early childhood education.
Some of the largest initial allocations include $649,250 for expansion of the geometry in construction and AMPED programs into seven more schools, and $471,822 for social emotional learning resources for social emotional learning specialists and classroom teachers.
