Fremont School District RE-2 serves close to 1300 students in preschool through twelfth grades and employs approximately 220 teachers, administrative and support staff. Fremont RE-2 provides transportation to students in our district. These costs are not detailed by location/school but district-wide. Likewise, our Nutrition, Maintenance and Technology Departments do not make large purchases by school location but are also district wide. Fremont RE-2 strives to operate in a conservative manner, always with the focus of providing our students with the best educational opportunity. The majority of operating revenue (80%) comes from Total Program Funding. Tax Revenues make up 24.5% of the program funding with the remaining 75.5% from equalization funds. Local funding makes up 6%, state makes up 4% and federal revenue is approximately 10%. Fremont Re-2 has just completed an air quality improvement project at our elementary school through BEST and matching district funds. ESSER III funds were been utilized to make this project possible. The district also utilized several grants this year. The School Workforce Nursing Grant which allowed the addition of two additional nurses year one and 1.5 nurses in year two. This grant goes through June 2024. We received a Fremont Multi District Initiative Grant for medical and other pathways to improve programming for schools in Florence, Canon City and Cotopaxi school districts as well as Pueblo Community College. We were also awarded the School Counselor Corp Grant that can be utilized for three years to improve mental health services to each of our schools by adding an additional counselor beginning in 2022-2023 and going through 2024-2025. We are working on completing several large capital projects in the district thanks to our voters passing a 25 million dollar bond initiative in 2022-2023. We were able to build a new cafeteria on-site at Fremont Elementary School, added a new CTE Building and an additional gym at Florence Jr/Sr High School and did some major safety upgrades at Penrose Elementary. All three buildings are getting upgrades to their vestibules for added safety.
