Advisory committee reviews 11 bond proposals; three breakout groups present differing packages

Crook County School District Facilities Advisory Committee · February 5, 2026

Summary

Committee members split into three groups to winnow 11 community proposals into one recommended package each. Group A prioritized a $40 million middle‑school remodel plus elementary expansion and athletics upgrades, Group B focused on life‑safety and HVAC improvements, and Group C proposed larger expansions including CTE investments and new stadium land.

After reviewing the compiled grid of 11 proposals, the committee split into three groups and each returned with one plan to present. Group A’s spokesperson, Jake Hoffman, listed major line items including "Remodel middle school, 40,000,000; Elementary expansion, 10,000,000; Pal Butte expansion, 8,000,000," and athletic and transportation security upgrades. He summarized the group's package and a combined figure for discussion.

Group B emphasized life-safety and security upgrades and sought a package that is easier to sell to voters, while Group C presented a larger, more comprehensive option that included elementary expansions, a CTE‑focused investment and land purchase for a new stadium. Joel Hoth told the committee the next step is to take the three group recommendations to the school board in April for further direction.
