AMENDMENT 73 & 5A/5B BOND AND MILL LEVY BALLOT INITIATIVES
|
For 2018, the last day to turn in ballots is November 6. If you have not already turned your ballot in, you must drop it off at a Jeffco Ballot Drop-Off Location. Be sure and take the time to fill out your ballot and make sure your vote is counted in this election!
Jeffco has two local measures on the ballot this year. Question 5A is a $33 million mill levy override, which would provide ongoing funding for things such as teacher and staff compensation, adding career-technical education programs, and supporting student mental health and counseling related to school safety. Question 5B is a $567 million bond that would provide funds for facilities construction. They are both property taxes. At the state level, Amendment 73 is a proposed state Constitutional amendment which would provide $1.6 billion in funding for PreK-12 education in Colorado. For Jeffco, that would mean an estimated $1,609 per student. It is a progressive income tax on filers making more than $150,000 annually and a tax on corporations. All elections are important and this one is especially so when it comes to funding education in Jeffco and across Colorado. The Maple Grove PTA formally voted to endorse these measures at their last general meeting. For more information about these 3 ballot initiatives please visit http://www.jeffcopublicschools.org/cms/one.aspx?pageId=4540440. |

Please join the PTA for their 3rd general meeting of the year on Wednesday, December 5 at 6:30 in the school library. |
