The RE1J school district will begin polling citizens in the district about what elements in a proposed $98 million bond issue have strong support. The idea is to fine tune the bond proposal and then go to the public for a vote this fall.
The basic proposal as currently outlined would expand the Crested Butte Community School to accommodate just more than 1,000 students, improve safety protocols at the entrance to all of the district’s school buildings, upgrade some sustainable items such as replacing all lights with LED fixtures and improving things like mechanical and boiler systems. A new turf sports field in Gunnison is also part of the proposal. The CBCS was built to hold 760 students and there are currently about 800. Modulars are being used to accommodate the overflow and the current trend is showing the school adds about 24 students every year.
