It highlights proposed upgrades for the Santa Fe Trail Middle School/High School and Carbondale Attendance Center, including safety features, classroom additions, and renovations. A "Your Investment" section breaks down estimated monthly costs for residential, commercial, and land properties. The flyer includes voter information, urging residents to register by July 14th and vote on August 4th, alongside QR codes for more details.

The top plan shows the Carbondale Attendance Center (PreK-5), highlighting widespread "Renovation" areas shaded in light pink across the classrooms. The bottom plan shows the Santa Fe Trail Middle School & High School, featuring both "Renovation" areas in pink and major new "Addition" zones shaded in yellow, including a large multipurpose gym, band room, and an expanded main office and secure entry.

Our Challenge

Driven by declining birth rates, population shifts, and alternative schooling, sustained enrollment drops have reduced funding and strained our operational structure. To maintain educational quality, we must evaluate staffing and consider building closures. Reconfiguring our district will consolidate resources efficiently while reducing school transitions, ultimately fostering greater stability and stronger community ties for students.
