SUMMARY:What is Prop NN and how does it fund schools without raising taxes?
DESCRIPTION:Prop NN is a measure that will be on the Colorado ballot this coming November. Kevin Pape\, the Political Director from the Colorado Education Association (CEA)\, will present on what Prop NN says and how it will impact school funding in Colorado. \nFrom the CEA: Prop NN lets Colorado use revenue it already collects to invest in K-12 public schools without raising taxes. For too long\, an outdated cap has held schools back\, making it harder to pay educators livable wages\, reduce class sizes\, and offer career and technical education programs students need. Voting yes on Prop NN helps keep educators in the profession and gives students more opportunities to succeed. \nWhen: Wednesday\, July 22nd – 7:00pm – 8:00pm\nJoin Via Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86748440997\nRSVP (optional): Facebook Event

SUMMARY:Graduated Income Tax: Who benefits\, and how much will it generate?
DESCRIPTION:Have you been hearing about the potential ballot measure for a Graduated Income Tax in Colorado? Who would benefit from this type of income tax? What would the money generated benefit? How do I sign a petition to get this measure on the November ballot? \nAnswers to these questions and more will be discussed in this month’s educational series hosted by Engage Jeffco Schools. We have a particular interest in the Graduated Income Tax Ballot measure because of its ties to state education funding and closing the gap in our deeply underfunded schools. Please join us in learning more about this ballot measure and what we can do to support it. \nSpeaker: Josh Mantell from the Bell Policy Center \nWhen: Wednesday\, June 10th from 7:00pm-8:00pm\nWhere: Zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86557187227\nRSVP (optional): Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/1FsS15TgFk/

SUMMARY:Social Emotional Learning and Mental Health In Jeffco Schools
DESCRIPTION:Join Engage Jeffco as we host our second presentation in our educational series. Laura Wheeler\, SEL Implementation Specialist\, will lead us through an in-depth exploration of social emotional learning (SEL) and how it supports student well-being and academic success. \nWhat we’ll cover: \n\nWhat is SEL: We’ll demystify Social Emotional Learning (SEL)—moving beyond the buzzwords to define the core competencies that help students manage emotions and set goals.\nSEL Specialist Role: Discover exactly how SEL Specialists (SELS) support classrooms. Which schools in Jeffco currently have dedicated SEL staff\, and what are the specific numbers across the district?\nBeyond the Lesson Plan: SELS do more than teach resilience. We’ll discuss the “hidden” roles they fill\, from crisis intervention to teacher coaching and building positive school culture and climate.\nMental Health Ecosystem: A school is a village. We will map out the broader support network\, understanding the distinct roles of:\n\nSchool Counselors\nSocial Workers\nSchool Psychologists \nCommunity Mental Health Partners (Hazel\, JCMH\, etc.) \n\n\nBudget Cuts: We’ll have a conversation about the Jeffco budget cuts and how those cuts are impacting social-emotional learning and mental health supports in schools.\n\nWho: This presentation is geared towards parents and caregivers who are trying to better understand social-emotional learning and how it supports their students. But teachers\, staff\, and community members looking to learn more are welcome as well! \nWhen: Wednesday\, March 4th – 7:00-8:00pm \nWhere: Zoom\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/82898708810?pwd=v1QZaahHwTzUbxQ2GX2AC5OiaYeaIz.1&jst=2

SUMMARY:How to effectively advocate to the Jeffco Board of Education
DESCRIPTION:At Engage Jeffco\, we encourage our members to attend school board meetings\, learn about policies\, and advocate for equitable access to high-quality education in Jeffco. But have you ever been unsure about how to best advocate to the Jeffco Board of Education (BOE)? Have you wondered if it is more effective to send an email to the Board of Directors or to show up at a board meeting and speak? Have you questioned\, “Does the school board even have control over the topic I am commenting on”?\n\nWe have.\n\nFormer Jeffco BOE Director Dr. Danielle Varda will present on what the BOE’s roles and responsibilities are and how to effectively have your voice heard by them. Followed by a Q&A for you to ask any burning questions.\n\nWe hope you can join us for this conversation on Thursday\, January 29th\, from 7:00-8:00pm on Zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87492595068
