Weld RE-3J School District

What Weld RE-3J School District does

Weld County School District Re-3J is a K-12 public school district operating as a political subdivision of the State of Colorado, serving approximately 2,601 students across three communities—Hudson, Keenesburg, and Lochbuie—in Weld County. The district operates eight schools: Weld Central Senior High School, Weld Central Middle School, Lochbuie Intermediate Academy (grades 4-8), Hoff Elementary School, Hudson Elementary School, Meadow Ridge Elementary School, the virtual school Weld Re-3J Online Innovations, and the charter school Cardinal Community Academy. Its mission centers on creating opportunities for student success through safe learning environments, engaging instruction, diverse activities, and a supportive community, with a 96.4% four-year graduation rate at Weld Central High School and 93.5% district-wide, plus 1,266 college credits earned in the 2024-2025 school year.

The district runs a multi-vendor educational technology stack rather than proprietary systems: Infinite Campus for student information, Tyler School ERP Pro for finance, FMX for facilities work orders, Frontline for HR and substitute management, ParentSquare for parent communications, Okta for single sign-on, Freshworks for IT helpdesk, MySchoolBucks for meal payments, Stopfinder for transportation tracking, and Arbiter Live for athletics scheduling. The 2026-2027 academic year runs August 10, 2026 through May 20, 2027 with 165 student attendance days and 183 teacher work days.

Revenue is generated primarily through Colorado state per-pupil funding (based on the 2,601 enrollment), local property tax contributions, federal grants (Title, IDEA, and other federal programs), and ancillary streams including meal payments, before/after school care through a Right At School partnership ($225/week or $50/day drop-in), voluntary student accident insurance through K&K Insurance, and community fundraising (e.g., King Soopers Community Rewards). The district's go-to-market is fundamentally community-led: enrollment is processed through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal, communications are driven through ParentSquare, and the district maintains formal partnerships with the Keenesburg and SEWC Chambers of Commerce and the three municipal governments it serves. As a government entity, Weld RE-3J is overseen by an elected Board of Education and regulated by the Colorado Department of Education, with no private equity, venture capital, or public-market ownership structures.
