Hayden School District has been providing education to students in and around Hayden (located in Northwest Colorado) since the 1920’s. The District currently serves approximately 430 students starting with Preschool and continuing through the 12th grade. Hayden residents helped create a combined campus by moving all three schools onto one campus by passing a Bond issue of $22,296,400 in November 2017. This allowed the District to participate in the state’s ... Hayden School District has been providing education to students in and around Hayden (located in Northwest Colorado) since the 1920’s. The District currently serves approximately 430 students starting with Preschool and continuing through the 12th grade. Hayden residents helped create a combined campus by moving all three schools onto one campus by passing a Bond issue of $22,296,400 in November 2017. This allowed the District to participate in the state’s “BEST” program. Using the Bonds Issued December 2018, and the approximately $41 million in state grant “BEST” funds, the District upgraded and created a new facility for all three schools, PreK/Elementary, Middle, and High Schools on the completed campus with classes moving from their old facilities, in November 2020, to the new campus located at 300 Breeze Basin Blvd in Hayden. Additionally, the district’s tax payers have supported our student’s educational services through passing multiple Mill Levy Overrides (MLO) over the past years. The current MLO is based on those tax levy increases passed between 1994 and 2018 with the last ones passed for both the General Fund, (i.e. staff and their wages) and the Transportation Fund (i.e. Buses needed to replace those which had passed their useful life). The mill levy supporting our Transportation Fund sunset, after the District used the mill levy for three (3) of the four (4) years voters approved. The District is currently being challenged by flat revenue projections and the impact it is having on retaining staff. We are working on increasing the rigor in our classrooms to help student better prepare for life after school. At the same time the School Funding Formula is falling behind the demands placed on our school systems. It is having a hard time keeping up with inflation let alone getting us to the level that the Adequacy Studies showed we should be. The work of all stakeholders in our prior and upcoming commitments is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
