Greeley-Evans School District 6 is the largest school district in Weld County, providing educational services to nearly 23,000 students. The District has 34 operating elementary, K-8, middle, high, alternative, and charter schools. With a $465 million budget and more than 2,300 employees, District 6 is the third largest employer in Weld County. The mission of District 6 is to provide every student with a personalized, well-rounded, and excellent education in a safe and caring environment. The goal is for every student to have a learning plan that meets his or her needs and to graduate high school with a solid plan for their future, whether that be college, a career, or military service. District 6 is committed to providing many innovative educational opportunities and choices for all its families and students, including magnet programs in the arts, STEM and Engineering, robust Career Pathways and concurrent college enrollment, strong early literacy programs, and access to the latest technology. District 6 has an ethnically and socio-economically diverse population. More than 70 percent of its students qualify for free and reduced lunch. Because of that, the district receives money through federal Title grants, including Title 1. These dollars are allotted to the schools with the highest number of students living in poverty. More District 6 schools than ever are ranked as “performance,” the highest level recognized by the Colorado Department of Education. The District 6 on-time graduation rate of 87.3 percent consistently exceeds the average on-time graduation rate for the state of Colorado. In 2017, voters in Greeley and Evans approved a 10 mill Mill Levy Override for District 6. This is the first MLO approved for District 6 and provides funding for operations, including textbooks and digital course content, computers, other classroom technology, improved safety and security at all schools, new school buses, increase in salaries for hourly employees, and much more. In the November 2022 election, voters overwhelmingly supported extending the Mill Levy Override, securing local funding for another 10 years. In addition, voters also approved a $395 million bond issue in November of 2019. These dollars have been used to build new schools, renovate existing schools, improve safety at all schools, and remove nearly one-half of portable classrooms in District 6. Projects also helped address deferred maintenance, removed asbestos from buildings, provided safe entries at schools, provided additional classrooms to address capacity and improves student learning spaces. Both the MLO and bond issue provide funding to District 6 charter schools. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting and the Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO) awarded a Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting to the District for its annual comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. In addition, the District received an unmodified, or "clean," audit opinion—indicating that the financial statements were presented fairly and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. District 6 is committed to providing transparency to ensure our community has access to all the district’s financial information, including the annual budget and financial reports.
