Jeffco Board of Education: Meetings, Calendar, Office Contacts & Family Routes
If you searched for the Jeffco Board of Education, you are probably trying to complete a specific task: check the next Board meeting, find an agenda, confirm when the Education Center is open for your department, speak during public comment, reach a Board member, enroll a student or request records.
This guide is for Jeffco Public Schools in Colorado. It brings the main official Board and district routes into one place while keeping school-board information separate from student records, enrollment, Human Resources and other district services.
Jeffco Board of Education quick facts
The Jeffco Public Schools Board of Education is the district’s policy-making body. The Board has five elected members who serve alternating four-year terms and represent five geographic districts. The Board hires and oversees the superintendent, sets district goals and acts on matters that come before it under Board policy and Colorado law.
Wrong-district warning: “Jeffco” usually means Jeffco Public Schools in Colorado. Do not confuse this district with Jefferson County Public Schools in Louisville, Kentucky or another Jefferson County school system.
What the Jeffco Board handles — and what it does not
The Board of Education handles district governance rather than day-to-day school customer service. Its responsibilities include employing and overseeing the superintendent, setting educational goals and adopting policy within the authority provided by state law.
That does not mean every family problem should start with a Board member. Jeffco’s own family-support process generally directs families to the student’s school first, then to the Family Response Service Team if the issue remains unresolved.
Use Board resources for
Board meetings, agendas, approved minutes, policies, Board members, governance matters, monitoring reports and Board advisory committees.
Use district services for
Enrollment, transportation, student records, Human Resources, legal services, CORA requests, technology and family support.
Use your school first for
Attendance, classroom concerns, a student’s daily schedule, school-level events, pickup questions and many individual student concerns.
Protect student privacy: a public Board meeting is not the right place to disclose private education records, health information, discipline records, passwords, custody documents or sensitive family information.
When and where the Jeffco Board of Education meets
Jeffco says Board meetings are generally held at the Education Center, 1829 Denver West Drive, Building 27, fifth floor, Golden. Regular business meetings generally begin at 5:00 p.m. in the fifth-floor Board room.
The public meeting portal describes the usual monthly rhythm this way: a Study Session generally occurs on the first Wednesday at 4:30 p.m., while a Regular Meeting generally occurs on the second Thursday at 5:00 p.m.. Jeffco also schedules executive, special and retreat sessions when needed.
| Meeting type | Usual pattern | Public comment | What to verify |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regular Meeting | Generally second Thursday, 5:00 p.m. | Public comment is available under current Board rules. | Exact date, agenda, executive-session timing and room. |
| Study Session | Generally first Wednesday, 4:30 p.m. | Public comment is not available at regular Study Sessions. | Agenda and any special/executive-session notice. |
| Executive Session | May precede a regular meeting. | Not the same as the public-comment portion of a regular meeting. | Current meeting agenda and legal notice. |
| Special Meeting | Scheduled when needed. | Depends on the meeting notice and purpose. | Date, time, subject, participation rules and access method. |
Do not calculate a future meeting date from the pattern alone. Jeffco specifically says Board dates, times and locations are subject to change. Open the live meeting schedule before traveling to Golden.
How to find a Jeffco Board agenda, minutes or recording
Jeffco uses an online meeting-management platform for Board materials. The safest way to research a Board action is to identify the exact meeting date first, then open that meeting’s agenda or minutes instead of relying on a search snippet or copied PDF.
Open the Jeffco meeting portal
Use the official Board meeting page or public Diligent portal linked by the district.
Choose the exact meeting date
Pay attention to whether the entry is a Regular Meeting, Study Session, Special Meeting, Executive Session or retreat.
Use the agenda before the meeting
The agenda shows scheduled business and supporting material. It does not prove that an item was ultimately adopted.
Use approved minutes for the formal record
Jeffco says minutes are typically approved as part of the Consent Agenda at the next month’s Regular Meeting.
Use video for discussion context
Past Board meetings may also be available through Jeffco’s Board YouTube channel. The written agenda and approved minutes remain the stronger record for formal Board business.
Can’t find minutes? Jeffco directs users to call the Board office at 303-982-3649 when minutes are unavailable online.
How public comment works at Jeffco regular Board meetings
Jeffco allows qualifying community members to address the Board during regular business meetings and some single-topic special meetings. Public comment is not offered during regular Study Sessions.
Who may speak
Jeffco lists district residents, parents of enrolled students, district staff, people specifically requested by the superintendent or Board, and nonresidents who have received prior permission.
When the sign-up form opens
The public-comment form opens at 7:00 a.m. on Sunday, or five days before the meeting when public comment is scheduled.
Confirm the meeting type
Make sure you are looking at a Regular Meeting or another meeting where public comment is actually scheduled.
Open the current sign-up form during the active window
The form does not accept responses outside Jeffco’s stated sign-up period.
Keep the topic connected to district policy or Board business
The Board describes itself as a policy-making body and asks speakers to focus comments accordingly.
Protect private student and personnel information
For an individual problem, start with the school or appropriate district process rather than turning confidential details into public comments.
Accessibility: Jeffco asks people who need accommodations to participate in a Board meeting to call the Board office at 303-982-3649 at least 48 hours in advance.
Jeffco Board of Education members and districts
Jeffco’s Board has five members elected in a general election while representing one of five geographic Board districts. Current officer roles are chosen by the Board after school-board elections.
| Board member | Current role | District | Term ends |
|---|---|---|---|
| Michelle Applegate | President | District 3 | November 2027 |
| Erin Kenworthy | 1st Vice President | District 4 | November 2027 |
| Peter Gibbins | 2nd Vice President | District 2 | November 2029 |
| Tina Moeinian | Treasurer | District 5 | Verify on current profile |
| Dr. Denine Echevarria | Secretary | District 1 | Verify on current profile |
Why some terms say “verify”: Board membership and officer information can change after elections, appointments or officer selections. This page does not fill missing live term details by guessing.
Jeffco Public Schools calendar: use the right calendar for the right job
The district’s Calendar & Events page publishes the 2026–27 Family Calendar in English and translated versions, plus student assessment schedules and a live events calendar.
Jeffco also warns that individual school calendars can include additional events and Modified Contact Days. That means a district family calendar should not replace your child’s school calendar for conferences, performances, school-specific closures or other local events.
Family Calendar
Best for broad 2026–27 district planning, school days, district breaks and major family dates.
District Events
Best for live district events. The calendar can be filtered for Board of Education, district dates, arts events, graduation and wellness items.
Individual School Calendar
Best for school-specific events, Modified Contact Days, conferences, performances and building-level scheduling.
Language access: Jeffco’s district calendar page provides 2026–27 family-calendar options in English, Spanish, Vietnamese and Russian.
Jeffco Board office hours: what is actually published
The Jeffco Board page publishes its Golden address, Board Office phone and executive-assistant email, but it does not publish a general Board-office walk-in schedule on that page. Because “office hours” can mean different departments inside the Education Center, it is safer to call the office you need before visiting.
| Office | Verified hours | Phone | Visit note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Board of Education | General walk-in hours not stated on the Board page | 303-982-3649 | Call ahead for Board-office questions or a specific staff contact. |
| Student Records Center | Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m. | 303-982-6715 | Jeffco specifically asks visitors to call before coming because of staffing changes. |
| Human Resources | Monday–Friday, 7:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m. | 303-982-6515 | HR Welcome Center assists job applicants and employees. |
Holiday/closure check: departmental hours can be affected by district closures, holidays or staffing. Do not assume that an Education Center department is open simply because another department lists office hours.
Jeffco Board of Education address, phone and map
Meeting visitor: if you need an accommodation, call the Board office at least 48 hours before the meeting rather than waiting until you arrive.
Who is the Jeffco superintendent in 2026?
Jeffco currently lists Dr. Rob Stein as Interim Superintendent. He began the interim role in July 2026 after the departure of Superintendent Tracy Dorland.
The Board is also running a search for Jeffco’s next permanent superintendent. In September 2026, the Board voted to move forward with HYA, a national superintendent-search firm, pending successful contract negotiations.
Why this matters: do not copy an older Jeffco article that still identifies Tracy Dorland as the current superintendent. District leadership changed in summer 2026.
How to enroll a student in Jeffco Public Schools
Jeffco uses EnrollJeffco for preschool through grade 12 enrollment. Families can enroll in their neighborhood school or apply to a different school through choice enrollment when space and program rules allow.
For the current 2026–27 school year, Jeffco says families can still enroll directly in their designated neighborhood school or apply to schools that are currently accepting applications.
Start in EnrollJeffco
New families create an account and add the student. Existing families use their current EnrollJeffco account.
Select schools
Jeffco allows a maximum of three school applications per student. Preschool families may apply for up to five preschool sessions.
Respond to an offer
When a school sends an offer, Jeffco says families have three days to accept it. Offers and waitlist information are sent by email and/or text.
Upload required documents
New students need the core enrollment documents listed below.
Complete household registration
After document upload, families receive access to the remaining household-registration process in EnrollJeffco.
Four core documents
Parent or legal guardian photo ID; documentation of the student’s identity; immunization records; and proof of address.
School Finder
Jeffco’s School Finder can search by school name, proximity and program criteria such as dual language, gifted, Montessori, STEM and special education.
Before contacting the Board about an individual school concern
Jeffco’s Family Response Service Team, or FRST, is designed to help families who need support connecting with schools or district resources. The process starts closer to the situation rather than at the Board table.
Contact the student’s school
Start with the school for the concern or question.
Contact FRST if the issue remains unresolved
Jeffco’s Family Response Service Team works with families and district staff to identify the appropriate route.
Escalate through Family & Community Partnerships
If the concern is still unresolved, it may be referred to an Assistant Director or Director.
Use the formal grievance process when applicable
FRST can help families understand the formal grievance process under District Policy KE when earlier steps do not resolve the matter.
Keep the Board and complaint process separate: sending an individual student complaint directly to the Board does not necessarily bypass the district’s established school and family-support process.
Jeffco Student Records Center hours, ID and processing time
Student records are not ordinary Board records. Jeffco routes transcripts and student-record requests through its Student Records Center and applies FERPA privacy requirements.
Call before visiting: Jeffco specifically asks people to call the Student Records Center before an in-person visit because of staffing-resource changes.
Age 18 and older: Jeffco says student-record information for students age 18 or older is not released to parents or guardians without the student’s written consent, unless applicable guardianship documentation supports access.
Jeffco CORA requests: Board records, timing and possible costs
The Colorado Open Records Act provides public access to many school-district records, but it does not make confidential student education records public. Jeffco specifically separates CORA records from FERPA-protected student records.
Check existing public sources first
Jeffco recommends checking financial transparency, Board policies and Board meeting materials before submitting a new CORA request.
Standard response period
Jeffco states that production time is three working days beginning on the first business day after the request is received.
Extension
When extenuating circumstances exist, Jeffco says the period may be extended, normally by no more than seven working days.
| Possible CORA cost | Jeffco’s published rule |
|---|---|
| Standard page copy | Up to $0.25 per standard page. |
| Double-sided page | Up to $0.50 per double-sided page. |
| Research/retrieval time | $41.37 per hour for staff time after the first hour when applicable. |
| Other formats | Actual production cost may apply for formats other than a standard page. |
Jeffco Public Schools HR hours and applicant help
The Human Resources Welcome Center supports job applicants with school and department questions, hiring-status questions and other general hiring information.
Job-search tip: use Jeffco’s current Careers pages for active openings. An old job-result page can remain indexed after a vacancy closes.
Board policy is different from a meeting discussion
If you need to know Jeffco’s current rule on a subject, use the district’s current policy manual rather than assuming that something discussed in a Board meeting became policy.
Jeffco also publishes policy-revision memos. Proposed changes may be open for public review before they are finalized and incorporated into the district policy manual.
Agenda
Shows what is scheduled for consideration at a particular meeting.
Minutes
Shows the formal meeting record after Board approval.
Policy manual
Use this when you need the district’s current adopted policy language.
Draft policy change
A proposal or revision memo should not be described as final policy until the district completes its process.
Common Jeffco Board searches that lead to the wrong place
“I need the next meeting date.”
Use the live Jeffco meeting portal. Do not calculate the date only from the usual first-Wednesday or second-Thursday pattern.
“I need Board office hours.”
Jeffco’s Board page does not list general walk-in hours. Call 303-982-3649 before making a trip for a Board-office task.
“I need my student’s transcript.”
Use Student Records & Transcripts, not CORA and not public Board comment.
“I want a public Board document.”
Search Board meeting materials and policy resources first. Use CORA when the record is not already available and qualifies for public release.
“I have an unresolved school problem.”
Start with the school, then use FRST. Jeffco’s complaint process is designed to resolve individual matters through that chain.
“I found an old superintendent name.”
Jeffco currently lists Dr. Rob Stein as Interim Superintendent and is searching for the next permanent superintendent.
“I want to speak at a Study Session.”
Jeffco’s public portal says regular Study Sessions do not include public comment. Use the current Regular Meeting participation rules.
“I need an accommodation for a meeting.”
Contact the Board office at least 48 hours before the meeting so Jeffco can arrange participation support.
