The Jeffco Public Schools Board of Education held a special meeting on September 29, 2026, to hear presentations from two firms selected through an RFP process for the superintendent search: Ray and Associates and Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates (HYA). After discussing each firm’s proposed search process, candidate outreach, community engagement, vetting, and transition support, the board voted to select HYA to support the search. The selection authorizes further negotiations; the transcript does not indicate that a final contract was approved.

Board members compared the proposals, noting HYA’s $60,500 fixed professional fee, $300 hourly rate, and $30,150 in optional add-ons, versus Ray and Associates’ $40,000 fixed fee, $200 hourly rate, and $13,200 in optional add-ons. They also discussed reimbursable expenses and HYA’s additional on-site day charge, cited as approximately $2,500, and requested further clarification of total costs and engagement scope during negotiations. The board noted that the pending $133 million in mill levy overrides could affect superintendent recruitment, but took no action on the ballot measures at this meeting.
