Jeffco Public Schools BoE Live Stream 11/5/2026

At the Jeffco Public Schools Board of Education study session on November 5, 2026, the board reviewed a proposed three-year Google Workspace license contract expected to appear on the November 12 consent agenda. The agreement’s not-to-exceed amount was discussed as approximately $980,000, above the board’s $500,000 approval threshold. Directors asked about the number and use of licenses, whether charter schools are included, expected savings from eliminating third-party subscriptions, the possibility of duplicative Google and Microsoft services, and whether license quantities could be adjusted during the term. District staff committed to provide details on the contract scope, cost comparison, and flexibility; the board did not vote on the contract at this meeting. The Finance and Audit Advisory Committee reported that the current budget includes a $13 million drawdown of general fund reserves and recommended planning for additional savings or maintenance deferrals if ballot measures do not pass, as well as clearer financial-reporting crosswalks.

The board also heard the superintendent’s recommendations for charter renewals: a five-year renewal for Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen and a two-year renewal with conditions for Collegiate Academy, including a debt-mitigation plan, appointment and training of a board treasurer, and ongoing financial monitoring. No renewal vote occurred; action was anticipated at the November 12 meeting, with new contracts scheduled to take effect July 1, 2027. Other discussion covered student priorities, instructional materials and professional learning, and advisory committee work; no other purchasing awards or bid approvals were identified.
