District plans $600,000 to $1 million in cuts as state forecasts a deficit
What happened
In April 2026 the superintendent said Colorado's revenue forecast showed a large state shortfall and that the district planned cuts of $600,000 to $1 million for 2026-27.
Why it matters to families
Education is about 28% of the state budget, so schools expect less money. The district said it would try to protect classrooms and keep the impact on kids and staff low. The board adopted the 2026-27 budget on June 8.
The evidence
In the video message the superintendent cites a state deficit of $800 million to $1.2 billion and says the district is planning cuts of $600,000 to $1 million. The June 8 minutes record approval of the 2026-27 adopted budget and salary schedules.
