Welcome to the Facilities Master Plan webpage.  I am pleased to be able to share this important information with our stakeholders.  As members of the Ouray community, we all share a collective assumption and expectation that our schools and facilities provide safe, conducive environments for learning, growth, and community engagement.

Over the years, our school has served as a mainstay of our community, educating countless students and while fostering a sense of community and belongingness. However, like any infrastructure, it requires regular maintenance and updates to continue serving us effectively.  With the results of the comprehensive Facilities Master Plan, we are able to reveal deferred maintenance items that may have not been uncovered without this extensive inspection.

I am writing to you today to highlight the importance of addressing facility needs and deferred maintenance across all our sites, including our transportation facility. This is not merely about maintaining bricks and mortar; it's about investing in the future of our community and the well-being of our students and staff. 

This comprehensive Facilities Master Plan is crucial in guiding our efforts to prioritize and address these needs effectively. By identifying areas for improvement and strategically allocating resources, we can ensure that our facilities remain safe, functional, inviting, and conducive to learning for generations to come. Furthermore, addressing deferred maintenance is not just a matter of convenience; it's a matter of safety and equity. Every student deserves to learn in an environment that is free from hazards and conducive to reaching their greatest potential.

Together, we can ensure that our facilities continue to serve as a hub of learning, innovation, and community pride. Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to the well-being of our Ouray School District community.

Sincerely, 

Superintendent
Ouray School District
