School District 51 is moving forward with an inspection of the Grand Junction High School gym, having received proposals for the inspection work on the facility.
That inspection is an important hurdle for district officials to clear before the Board of Education makes a final pitch for a new school bond.
At the last school board meeting, the board was ready to make a decision on a building design before it decided to have an engineer analyze the gym walls to decide if theyâre salvageable or not.
The gym is nearly 70 years old and appears to be deteriorating, but retaining the gym building could save $4-$6 million. A community advisory committee has urged the board to opt for the latter, arguing that it would show financial responsibility to the voters.
