Dear Jeffco Gifted & Talented Community,
This year is a school board election year and election day is November 2nd. Jeffco Schools has five board members and three seats are up for election this year.

For every school board election, JAGC sends questions relevant to gifted & talented programming to each of the candidates and requests their responses. 
Responses to questions are unedited.  Thank you to the candidates for responding to our questionnaire.

Additional Election Information 
This map shows district locations.
This document shows which schools each board member represents. 

None of the incumbents (Brad Rupert, Susan Harmon, nor Rick Rush who replaced Ron Mitchell) are running so it's a field of all new people. Please familiarize yourself with all the candidates because registered Jeffco voters are able to vote in all three districts. 
 
You can find candidate websites and upcoming forum information on the district website.
