Montrose County School District RE-1J (MCSD) is one of the largest rural school districts located in west-central Colorado. It serves approximately 5,900 students in 14 schools, that include Early Childhood Centers, a blended learning academy, an alternative high school 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 provides our students with a wide variety of pathways from Career Technical Courses, College Prep Courses, STEM electives and a wide variety of other exploratory opportunities. MCSD is one of the largest employers in Montrose County with over 960 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 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 the Strategic Plan and Master Capital Plan. To that end, our budget is designed to (1) support this vision and the Board goals and objectives, (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 four-year spending timeline ending in September of 2024. For this reason, excess revenues in the General Fund were assigned to the Program Sustainability Reserve in Fund Balance. These funds are available to be released from Assigned Fund Balance as needed for use in periods after September 2024 to maintain established programs.
