Funded enrollment falls to 193, below the state's 209 projection

What happened

On October 12, 2026 the business manager reported the district is being paid for 209 students per the state's projection but its funded enrollment is 193; state payments will be trued up starting in January. With averaging the district will be funded for about 201 students, about $4.119 million in total program funding, roughly $20,422 per pupil. In September she reported the preliminary assessed value fell to $71.1 million from $72.1 million.

Why it matters to families

State school finance in Colorado follows enrollment, so the gap will reduce payments mid-year, and a smaller tax base limits local revenue.
