Canon City Schools Fremont RE-1

What Canon City Schools Fremont RE-1 does

Canon City Schools Fremont RE-1 is a public K-12 school district and Colorado government state entity headquartered in Canon City, Colorado, operating within designated attendance boundaries under a five-member elected Board of Education with Adam Hartman as Superintendent. The district serves preschool through grade 12 students across eight school facilities: Cañon City High School (grades 9-12), Canon City Middle School (grades 6-8), four elementary schools (McKinley, Washington, Lincoln School of Science & Technology, Canon Exploratory), Harrison K-8, the Mountain View Core Knowledge charter school, and McKinley Preschool. Headcount ranges 251-500 employees.

The district's product surface consists of academic instruction layered with Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways, concurrent enrollment with community colleges for college credit, industry credentials, internships, apprenticeships, and a Capstone Project graduation requirement. The technology stack is built on third-party platforms — Infinite Campus for student information, ClassLink for single sign-on, Google Workspace for Education with Gaggle safety monitoring, Raptor Technologies for visitor management, Qualtrics for the public Strategic Plan Dashboard, and Parchment for transcript services — rather than proprietary infrastructure. The district's "Portrait of a Graduate" framework codifies 14 cultivated traits (Knowledge, Innovation, Tenacity, Agency, Agility, Civility, Integrity, Collaboration, Communication, Solution-seeking, Contribution, Reflection, Empowerment, Leadership), and its four Core Beliefs center on social-emotional support ("Maslow before Bloom"), growth mindset, future-focused skill development, and student-first decision-making.

Canon City Schools is funded primarily through Colorado per-pupil funding, local property taxes, mill levy overrides, and federal Title/meal reimbursements (the district reported nearly $2 million in additional resources drawn through free/reduced meal applications), supplemented by Building Excellent Schools Today (BEST) capital construction grants. Go-to-market is direct enrollment through the district's online registration portal, with one in-district charter option (Mountain View Core Knowledge) and a school choice channel. The district maintains compliance with Title IX, Section 504, ADA, Titles VI/VII of the Civil Rights Act, ADEA, and GINA, and operates within the constraints of a single fixed-service geography (Fremont County, Colorado) with no expansion beyond traditional attendance boundaries.
