Greeley‑Evans School District 6 adopts $475,996,667 budget for 2026–27

The Greeley‑Evans School District 6 Board of Education unanimously approved the district’s fiscal year 2026–27 budget on June 8, 2026, adopting a total appropriation of $475,996,667.

Board members opened a public hearing required under Colorado Revised Statute 22‑44‑110 and said no taxpayers had signed up to speak. Administrators told the board the proposed budget is available on the district’s financial transparency page and noted the document includes school‑level profiles and demographic context.

During discussion, a director emphasized the district spends the majority of its budget on personnel. “You can see … 90% of funds spent in District 6 are to our staff,” a speaker said, stressing that staffing, transportation and nutrition services are core parts of the budget. Board members thanked staff for preparation and noted ongoing review through the fall and periodic updates after enrollment and accounting adjustments.

The motion to adopt the budget passed on a roll‑call vote of 6‑0. The board approved the appropriation and authorized the planned transfers and use of beginning fund balance as presented. The district noted it will revisit parts of the budget in November and December as part of normal budget monitoring.

The budget adoption followed earlier presentations of student achievements and personnel recommendations; the board moved on to consent agenda and policy votes after the budget item.
