I wholeheartedly endorse Jackie Burhans for D38 School Board! She is the most qualified and knowledgeable candidate that I have seen run for our School Board in the 10 years my family has called Monument home.
I met Jackie not long after my family was stationed in Colorado in 2015. Shortly after moving here, I got involved with our district, volunteering in my children’s schools, coaching, and participating on several district-level committees. Jackie was also heavily involved with volunteering in D38, and I was immediately in awe of her selflessness and enthusiasm in giving her time to community endeavors.
Jackie has volunteered literally thousands of hours to the betterment of our community. She is a thoughtful listener and critical thinker, understanding the many issues facing our public education system—and D38, specifically. Her vast knowledge of where we’ve been, coupled with her understanding of the state and federal legislation that guides education policy, means she will step into Day 1 on the board with foundational knowledge and ready to contribute to tackling the most pressing issues in our district.
Jackie’s top priorities are valuing educators, maintaining the academic excellence D38 is known for, enhancing the multiple educational pathways D38 offers, and fostering continued community collaboration and transparency.
As one of five members of the board, Jackie will bring an informed and balanced voice to D38, where she will continue her 30-year legacy of commitment to our Tri-Lakes community.
