About the School Board

The Elbert County School District C-2 School Board is comprised of five elected directors who represent, lead, and serve the stakeholders of Elbert County School District C-2 Schools. The School Board assures that Elbert County School District C-2 Schools offers educational opportunities that meet our community's values and that students are achieving the educational results the community expects. The School Board sets expectations for Elbert County School District C-2 Schools based on the values of the community. These expectations are incorporated in the School Board Goals, which are monitored annually to determine if the district is meeting the School Board's expectations. As the values and needs of the district evolve, the goals are updated to reflect these changes.

Elected by the voters within the Elbert County School District C-2 community, we are responsible for governing the Elbert County School District C-2 School district, approving our district's budget, monitoring our finances, hiring a superintendent, and establishing a Strategic Vision for the district and our students. We are accountable to the State of Colorado and the voters of the district.

We want to hear from our community members. Ask us questions, provide insights, offer ideas and suggestions, and share with us your stories of an Elbert County School District C-2 education. Please contact us via email and/or telephone.
