What West Grand School District No. 1-jt does

West Grand School District No. 1-JT is a public K-12 school district organized under Colorado state law and headquartered at 715 Kinsey Ave, Kremmling, Colorado. The district serves approximately 500+ students across the West Grand School District boundary in Grand County through a multi-site structure comprising the West Grand Early Childhood Center, West Grand Elementary School (Grades K-6), and West Grand Junior/Senior High School (Grades 7-12). It also operates the WGSD Online Secondary Program for non-traditional learners. Educational offerings are supplemented by athletics programs under CHSAA governance, activities and clubs (FBLA, FFA, National Honor Society, robotics, drama, and others), free K-12 meal services for the 2025-2026 school year, and school bus transportation.

The district's technology stack centers on Google Workspace for Education with a 1:1 Chromebook program launched in the 2019-2020 school year, supplemented by GoGuardian and Hapara Highlights for student monitoring and classroom management. The primary student information system was migrated from PowerSchool (used 2016 through 2023-24) to Alma in 2025 following a December 2024 data breach incident. Student accounts use the @wgsd.us Google domain and remain accessible for three years post-graduation. The district is FERPA compliant and adheres to Colorado H.B. 2016-1423 Student Data Transparency and Security Act standards.

Revenue is derived from Colorado state education funding, federal allocations including ESSER III, and local property taxes and mill levy overrides, supplemented by immaterial athletic gate fees and facility rentals. Governance is provided by an elected Board of Education led by Superintendent Elizabeth Bauer, who also serves as Title IX Coordinator. The district is currently undertaking BEST Grant-funded facility improvements including secure entry vestibules, fire sprinkler installation, ADA compliance, and mechanical system upgrades.

Comparable ecosystem participant as a tech/infrastructure provider that enables district operations; relevant for evaluating district's tech-stack maturity rather than direct competition.
