Breckenridge Elementary: Future Forward Learning
Breckenridge Elementary, the oldest school in our district, faces significant structural challenges. With a Facility Condition Index (FCI) of 75.5%, it is categorized as severely deficient. Specifically, the building is no longer to code and requires a new roof and contains asbestos. These factors necessitate action to ensure a safe and conducive learning environment for our students in the future. The proposed bond will fund the construction of Breckenridge Elementary, ensuring future-forward learning opportunities and preserving the central, community-focused environment that our families value while minimizing disruption during reconstruction.
The Proposed Bond recommends new construction of Breckenridge Elementary to build a 40,000 sq ft school with a minimium capacity of 264 students K-5.
Estimated Cost:
$46.8M
