The Board governs the education of students and the operations of the District within limitations set by the state of Colorado.

The Board of Education Believes:

When the community, students and staff are involved, all students do learn and succeed.

The Board of Education Goals:

  • To ensure all students will be at or above grade level;
  • To continually review programs and policies to ensure students are prepared for the 21st Century;
  • To continue our commitment to sustainable fiscal management and accountability;
  • To recruit and maintain the best qualified and well-trained work force;
  • To embrace the community as partners in the success of our students.

The Public is Welcome

Citizens are invited to attend Board of Education meetings and be involved in improving our schools. Regular board meetings always allow time for citizens' comments.
