Echo SD 5 reports full kindergarten, site plan and irrigation talks underway
Summary
Superintendent reported stable enrollment with kindergarten projected full (22 enrolled, ~15 on the wait list). The district has begun site planning with architects and is exploring grading, parking and irrigation options with local partners.
Superintendent (S4) reported enrollment remains steady and said kindergarten is expected to be full next year: current kindergarten enrollment stood at 22 with roughly 15 students on a waiting list. The superintendent explained district policy that new housing-based enrollment requires visible construction progress and a firm completion date before a child may enroll.
On facilities, the superintendent said she has met with architects to begin a site plan and grading work and has scheduled further conversations with the irrigation district and city staff to explore water access and rates. Short-term priorities include grading, gravel for parking and assessing whether a practice field or temporary parking could proceed pending water availability. The superintendent said she would bring a more detailed plan and cost estimates for board review as work progresses.
Board members requested long-term and short-term facility goal input and agreed to provide feedback by email so the superintendent can finalize board goal language for the coming year.
