Montrose County School District RE-1J (MCSD) is a rural school district located in west-central Colorado. It serves approximately 6,048 students in 13 schools, Early Childhood Centers, a blended learning academy and an alternative-program charter school. The City of Montrose and the Town of Olathe are the major communities served by these schools. Student levels range from preschool through 12th grade. MCSD is the largest employer in Montrose County with over 800 full and part-time employees. The vision of MCSD is to ensure that all students have a safe and academically rigorous environment in which to learn, and that all students will graduate with life skills and knowledge required to enter into the workforce, to begin a career, and to attend college or other post-secondary education opportunities of their choice, without remediation. All monies that MCSD spends are dedicated toward this vision and the goals and initiatives of our Strategic Plan and Master Capital Plan. To that end, our budget is designed to (1) support this vision and the Board goals, (2) recognize that staff are our most valuable asset, and (3) promote good stewardship of our public funds. MCSD also has an objective to sustain programs implemented with one-time ESSER Federal Grant dollars beyond the three-year spending timeline ending in September of 2024. For this reason, during this period, any excess revenue funds in the General Fund will be assigned to the Program Sustainability Reserve in Fund Balance. These funds will be available to be released from Assigned Fund Balance as needed for use in periods after September 2024 to maintain established programs.
