Land Donation
After extensive research, community engagement, and consultation, the Weld RE-5J Board of Education chose the Sauer-Whitehall parcel as the site for the new high school. This site is approximately 80 acres with primary access/frontage on County Road 13 (Colorado Boulevard). It was estimated the build costs on the Saur-Whitehall site would save a minimum of $ 2.2 million compared to the Lot Holdings site which was under consideration. Both sites were offered as donations. All board members expressed their gratitude to both the Sauer family and to Lot Holdings.
"We have two very generous landowners; we have two great municipalities and an awesome electorate. In most school districts, the land is the leftover. It’s a table scrap from a developer - and the fact that we have two very prime pieces of ground, in a very very competitive real estate market, a very limited real estate market, that they are giving us a donation is almost unbelievable. When you really start to think about we see how very fortunate we are to find ourselves in the situation we are in,” said Michael Wailes, Board of Education President.

Facility Condition Index (FCI) - This ratio is calculated by The Colorado Department of Education and is an industry-standard measurement of a facility’s condition. FCI is the ratio of the cost to correct a facility's deficiencies to the current replacement value of the facilities. The Facility Scorecard (FCI) for Roosevelt High School measured in the poor range. Ultimately the former ffacility and grounds would not support the projected growth of our community.
