Financial Transparency and Reporting

Sheridan is a unique two-square-mile school district within the larger metro area, where opportunities are endless for students.  We offer the smallest class sizes in the metro area, have competitive athletic opportunities for our middle school-age through high school-age students, and also offer a bilingual diploma for students at both our high school and our alternative high school.  We offer a robust ELD program supporting 86% of our student population. 

 

The District employs certified support staff, classified staff, and administrators to provide services to approximately 1,200 students, with an annual operating General Fund budget of approximately $23 million. 

 

The District facilities comprise one early childhood center, one K-2 campus, one 3-8 campus, one high school campus, and one alternative high school campus, with access to teachers and programs that are typically found only in rural school settings. 

 

Colorado schools are funded on a per-pupil formula, which, when applied to district enrollment, calculates the total program dollars. The District accounts for its financial operations in compliance with State law.  All District funds are required to be audited on a fiscal year running from July 1st to June 30th.  The annually audited financial statements are submitted to the Board of Education of Sheridan Schools and filed with the State auditor and the commissioner of education.
