JCEA COVID-19 Violation concerns

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

As Jeffco public schools begin the school year in the new landscape of educating through a pandemic we want to encourage you to speak up and blow the whistle when you believe something happening in your school isn't safe.

Please do whatever you can to document your concerns - Take photos, document communications, make copies of written communications (emails for example) follow up face to face conversations in writing via email.

We are asking you to document violations of the Jeffco Restart Plan and the District's own announced safety protocols, AND violations of the MOU. We have changed the format to make it easier for us to sort the data. You only have to answer the yes/no questions that pertain to your concern.

At the bottom of this form, we have provided you with a list of other entities and contacts that may be helpful.

Please be aware that you must provide your contact information to enable JCEA staff and leaders to work to address your issue or concern. We WILL send information to the district as to the violation and the school but we will NOT include your name or other identifying information.

If you wish to file a complaint to any of the institutions listed at the end of this form you have the right to do so.

You may also be entitled to whistleblower protections, however, to seek legal opinion on this through JCEA you must provide your contact information for follow up.
