District 11 plans to repurpose five schools and fix up dozens following enrollment decline
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) Colorado Springs’ oldest school district announced plans to improve most of its 50 buildings, including rebuilding or renovating 15 and repurposing five campuses.
The five campuses slated for repurposing include Buena Vista, Edison, Henry, Queen Palmer, and Taylor elementary schools.
District 11 leaders also plan to renovate all five high schools to include technical education opportunities, renovate the high school auditoriums, and replace middle-high school tracks.
“So many of these schools are over 60 years old,” said Susan Miller, who works for the consulting firm hired to help the district make some of these decisions.
