Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
How is Eaton School District paid for?
Eaton School District Re-2 in Weld County runs five schools. Colorado pays most operating costs through a per-student formula, and local property taxes cover part of it. Energy-industry property helps the local tax base. The board asked voters for a new mill levy override in November 2026.
Override
About $3 million a year: staff pay (about 14%), $600,000 for career and technical education, and safety.
State cuts
The district planned $600,000 to $1 million in cuts for 2026-27 after a weak state forecast.
Budget
The board adopted the 2026-27 budget and salary schedules on June 8, 2026.
Who decides
Five directors (Sharp is president). Regular meetings are usually the second Monday; Superintendent is Todd Cordrey.
Budget amounts come from board minutes and superintendent video messages. The full budget document and the November 3 election result were not in the sources read.
