Jessica Wurtsbaugh

Board Member

Born and raised in Washington State, Jessica has now lived half of her life here in Colorado, as a mother of three, Jessica Wurtsbaugh is thrilled to serve on the board of CCCF. Jessica attended public school, but was surrounded by friends that benefitted from the home school model. As a mom, Jessica saw the need for every child to have the opportunity to learn in an educational environment that best serves them. She is a strong advocate for educational choice!

Jessica and her husband became advocates for school choice by helping to establish a local K-12 charter school that their children attended. With the changes after 2020 Jessica’s family found other options to best serve them and their educational needs. They have now utilized in-person public charter school, online public charter school and concurrent enrollment options. Her oldest son is a senior in a concurrent enrollment program, while her two other sons are enrolled in an online program. She currently lives in Brighton with her husband Jake, her three boys and various animals.
