We are so sorry that the 'Board Majority' is part of Jeffco School at all. We'll be doing all we can to ensure they're voted out next term! We have (2) school-age kids. This can't go on!

Keep partisan politics out of education.

I no longer have kids in public schools but I am concerned about the recent attempts by the board to impose their ideology on the school curriculum (AP US History). I am proud of the way students here in Evergreen responded in opposition but I am concerned about future similar efforts by the board.

Overcrowding is a serious issue in the Meiklejohn and WestWoods areas and getting significantly worse with the growth of this area of Arvada. Please find the money and break ground on the Candelas school site asap.

The board needs to represent the community not their narrow ideological views. Maybe we need a recall vote!

Please don't make the kids journey in life anymore stressful than it is with regular day trials and tribulations. They need to want and enjoy going to school not for staffs conviences..??

Thank you for creating this petition and for standing against this woefully misguided, bullying board majority who refuse to listen to parents, teachers, or students. It's not OK and the Jeffco community has had it.

Some members of this school board have a political agenda which trumps what is good for the students of this district. It is time for the board to start fulfilling their campaign promises and their mission. Over and over again we have heard that the school board values the opinions of the stakeholders and over and over again, these same board members have ignored the information gathered through expensive polls. This is money that if stakeholders were adhered to, would have been spent in the classroom. I have sent several correspondences to this school board and not once have I received a reply. It is OUR kids future, OUR voices need to be RESPECTED!!

I'd like to express my deep appreciation to Ms. Lesley Dahlkemper and Ms. Jill Fellman for their incredible efforts on the Jeffco school board. Your rational and non-political approach to education has been exemplary. Thank you for your ongoing support for all Jeffco students, teachers and parents.

The school board needs to start including ALL Jeffco stakeholders in their decisions, not just their partisans.

Parents & teachers know what's best for kids. The Board Majority is spending tax money without listening to the community. We can't let their lawyer and big money "reformers" drive important decisions like this!

Your community does not support you if you do not represent your community!
