During a special meeting on June 5, 2019, the Steamboat Springs School District Board of Education unanimously voted to include preschool at the district's new K-8 school at Steamboat II. It also approved renovating space at Strawberry Park Elementary School and creating space at Soda Creek Elementary School to include one section of preschool at each school with the flexibility to add additional sections of preschool in the future.
Preschool project costs are currently being recalculated by district consultants to align with the board's vote and will be presented to the board as part of the full cost of the bond package at the Board of Education meeting on June 17, 2019. The district and its consultants are prioritizing affordability and cost effectiveness in creating a potential 2019 bond package.
During the Board of Education meeting on June 17, 2019 the Steamboat Springs School District Board of Education will take action related to a potential bond, including finalizing priority projects at the various school sites as well as the overall size of a bond and associated mill levy(s) to address operational costs of a new school and staff compensation.
