District 6 considers options for new district office amid county planning decisions

The Greeley Evans School District 6 Board of Education held a pivotal work session on May 12, 2025, focusing on the future of the district's administrative office location. A significant discussion emerged regarding whether to maintain the district office downtown or relocate it, with implications for both the community and the school district's operations.

Board members expressed concerns about the current building's condition, which is described as "falling apart." The options on the table include spending $1 million on temporary fixes, investing $23 million in repairs, or committing $36 million to a complete replacement. However, the latter figure could rise to approximately $48 million when factoring in additional costs such as architectural fees and land purchases.

The county is expected to provide recommendations in June regarding their own significant projects, including a new justice center, which could influence the district's decision. Board members emphasized the importance of this decision, noting it will affect not only the current board but future boards as well. They anticipate further discussions in August and September to evaluate the options based on the county's plans.

The meeting concluded with board members expressing gratitude for the updates and the collaborative efforts with city and county officials, highlighting the importance of the downtown area for community engagement and business access. As the district navigates these critical decisions, the outcome will shape the future of education administration in Greeley Evans School District 6.
