Jeffco ESPA

Admin raises on the average 115k salary is $4600 a year.

The average for school based ESPs would be $418 a year on a 1.5% COLA. Many of us are not step eligible due to the gaps in our schedule that hold us from receiving a step. Why don’t admin have gaps?

They took this raise while threatening cuts, and without a transparent Board of Education vote.

Jeffco educators at McLain Community High School staged a strike on May 12, demanding transparency & a real voice in decisions about alternative education.

The district’s plan eliminates adult diploma programs, force students into rigid online-only models, & cut off access for older, working, or parenting students. Educators say they were misled/excluded from key decisions, & that dropout data is being misused to justify harmful changes.

They’re calling for honesty, respect, and a seat at the table.
