Voter Registration

• The district has two funding measures on this November’s ballot. One is a bond to invest in our building, and the other is a mill levy override to invest in operations such as staffing and academic programming. 

• Take this opportunity to check your voter registration, and make sure it’s up-to-date with your current address! Visit govotecolorado.com
