Support Jeffco Kids was created in 2015 following a local election that placed three school reform advocates on the five-person Jefferson County Public Schools Board of Education.
When these three board members began to systematically override other board members and community leaders in an effort to overhaul the district, SJK stepped in to enlighten residents, showcase events and advocate for those involved in teaching the 86,000 students in Jefferson County Public Schools.
The non-partisan, nonprofit organization was instrumental in a recall of the three candidates and now works tirelessly to support the entirety of the county’s schools.
