Greeley‑Evans School Board approves revised accreditation ratings; clears consent agenda and designates website for notices

The Greeley‑Evans School District 6 Board of Education on Jan. 12 approved revised school accreditation ratings, accepted routine consent items and designated the district website as the official posting site for public meeting notices, all by unanimous roll‑call votes.

Director Campos Spitzi moved to approve the revised accreditation ratings that had been updated after the district’s appeals to the Colorado State Board of Education. Presenters told the board that appeals made last fall were approved by the State Board on Dec. 10, 2025, resulting in several schools’ ratings being adjusted. District staff reported that 19 schools now hold the state’s highest "Performance" rating, 11 schools are in "Improvement," three are in "Priority Improvement," and none are in "Turnaround." The superintendent added that the district’s graduation rate stands at 90 percent.

Earlier in the meeting the board approved the consent agenda, which authorized district officers to sign contracts, and voted to designate the district website as a posting site for public notices of meetings. Each of those motions passed on roll‑call votes recorded as 7‑0.

The accreditation presentation reviewed state categories used by the Colorado Department of Education — Performance, Improvement, Priority Improvement and Turnaround — and listed specific schools whose statuses changed after the appeal (district presenters named Centennial, Maplewood and Central among involved schools). Board members praised staff and teachers for the progress reflected in updated ratings.

Motions and roll‑call votes taken at the meeting: - Approve agenda: moved by Director Bentley; passed 7‑0. - Approve consent agenda and authorize contract signings: moved by Director Bentley; passed 7‑0. - Designate district website as posting site for meeting notices: moved by Director Bentley; passed 7‑0. - Approve revised school accreditation ratings (per State Board decisions of Dec. 10, 2025): moved by Director Campos Spitzi; passed 7‑0.

The board concluded with congratulations to staff and community partners and adjourned. No public speakers were signed up for public comment at this meeting.
