Gilpin board adopts multi-year calendars and ratifies HB 17-1375 mill-levy distribution plan
Summary
Trustees approved district school-year calendars for 2026–27, 2027–28 and 2028–29 and adopted a state-required HB 17-1375 plan for distribution of mill-levy override revenue; board also approved a meeting-schedule change on a 3–2 vote.
The Gilpin County School District No. Re-1 Board of Education approved multiple calendar items and a state-required distribution plan for mill-levy override funds during the meeting.
On motions presented as second readings, the board adopted the 2026–27, 2027–28 and 2028–29 district school-year calendars as submitted. The motions were taken by roll call and passed; no substantive amendments were offered during the meeting.
The board also moved to adopt the district’s House Bill 17-1375 plan for distribution of mill-levy override revenue — a compliance action requested by the Colorado Department of Education. Dr. Dave explained the item as a housekeeping step to post required information online and said it stemmed from a periodic CDE review of district audit materials: “It’s a compliance issue,” he told trustees.
Votes at a glance: - Meeting-schedule change (old business): motion to move regular meetings to the first and third Monday beginning April 20 — carried 3–2. - 2026–27 district school-year calendar (L1): adopted (roll call recorded). - 2027–28 district school-year calendar (L2): adopted (roll call recorded). - 2028–29 district school-year calendar (L3): adopted (roll call recorded). - HB 17-1375 distribution plan (I-5): adopted (roll call recorded).
Why it matters: Adopting the HB 17-1375 plan brings the district into compliance with state posting and transparency requirements tied to mill-levy override revenue and clarifies how future override proceeds would be allocated. The calendars set academic schedules and key board-meeting dates for the next three years.
Next steps: The board scheduled an audit presentation by Cutler & Associates for the April meeting and asked staff to circulate the adopted HB 17-1375 plan and calendars for public posting.
