📚 Jeffco Schools considers a raise for superintendent—before settling teacher contracts?

Jefferson County’s school board is renegotiating Superintendent Tracy Dorland’s salary—even though her contract doesn’t expire until 2027.

📊 Current salary: $300,770—one of the highest in Colorado
📊 40% of Jeffco teachers live paycheck to paycheck, per the teachers’ union
📊 Critics argue: The district faces financial uncertainty & may ask voters for new funding in 2026

Jeffco already has budget challenges and might need a mill levy override & bond to stay financially stable.

Should Jeffco prioritize teachers & school funding first before giving the superintendent a raise? Or is this just business as usual for school boards?
