Greeley-Evans School District 6 Board of Education members, staff, students and community members gathered at Greeley West High School Wednesday, October 16, 2024 to celebrate the completion of the 2019 Bond Issue projects.
While there is still work to do on a few building projects in the final phase of the bond work, building and renovations funded from the 2019, $395 million bond issue is essentially completed, benefitting every school in District 6.
"We did everything we set out to do when we passed the bond, and more," said Assistant Superintendent of Support Services Kent Henson, who led the bond work in the district.
Because of two favorable sales of the District 6 bonds, an additional $98 million in proceeds was available to spend on more projects, such as the construction of a new Jefferson High School and the Career and Technical Education Center, as well as additional classrooms at Meeker, Martinez and Shawsheen elementary schools.
Other significant work from the 2019 Bond included the replacement of Greeley West High School and Madison Elementary School (now James Madison STEAM Academy PK-8), significant additions at Chappelow Arts Magnet K-8 and McAuliffe STEM Academy K-8, and the construction of the Tointon Academy of Pre-Engineering.
Every building in District 6 has received safety improvements, renovations, new furniture and more thanks to the 2019 Bond Issue.
"As I have said many, many times, I am incredibly grateful to the voters of Greeley and Evans," said Board President Michael Mathews. "They have given our students countless opportunities they wouldn't have otherwise had because of these improvements to our buildings. Thank you."
