Dear Breckenridge ISD Parents and Community,
I am writing to share an important update regarding the planning of our new elementary school made possible by the voter-approved November 2025 bond.
At a special meeting yesterday evening, the Breckenridge ISD Board of Trustees authorized me to enter into negotiations with the Breckenridge Economic Development Corporation (BEDC) for the potential purchase of property located north of Walmart as the possible site for our future elementary campus.
We recognize that this differs from earlier discussions about the location of the new school. However, during our community meetings and town halls last fall, we heard a lot of concerns regarding the proposed site at South Elementary. While balancing what is best for BISD students and staff, community concerns, as well as overall cost, the Board has been and will continue to be diligent in identifying the best possible location for a Pre-K through 5th grade facility that will serve our students for generations to come. They remain committed to making thoughtful, informed decisions that prioritize our students' safety, educational quality, and the long-term needs of our district.
We understand that questions and concerns may arise. Please know that we are committed to working with our parents, community members, and other stakeholders to move our district forward and ensure we are providing the best opportunities and learning environments for all students.
This is an exciting time for our district and community, and we appreciate your continued support and partnership as we take these next steps for our students.
Sincerely,
Prairie Freeman
