BISD Press Release on Curtis

Here is a press release that went out Aug. 31. Notice that they are asking to consider an option other than "current plans."

CURTIS ELEMENTARY – new options on the table

A community stakeholders’ meeting will be held at Curtis Elementary School at 6 p.m. Tuesday, September 1, 2009, in the school cafeteria, located at 6225 North Circuit Drive in Beaumont. Curtis is one nine new elementary schools to be built as part of the 2007 voter-approved $389 million school bond facilities projects.

Under current plans, which dictate building a new Curtis behind the school’s existing facility, the new Curtis would open Spring 2011.


Tuesday’s meeting is asking the Curtis community to consider an option which allows Curtis operations to move into the temporary Regina-Howell complex located off Major Drive in January 2011 (after Regina-Howell moves into their new school). This proposal would mean Curtis would move into its permanent new school by the summer of 2012 (a year and a half later than originally scheduled).

Project managers say the latter will provide for a safer, more seamless, cost-efficient and academically-prudent operation. The meeting is open to the public.

You don't have to leave your name. Just say what you want. If you want to be anonymous, use the drop down menu. It's better if you come up with an open ID. It's like a nickname you can change every post.

If you get too vulgar, I'll have to delete you. It's a "family"-ish blog after all. But otherwise. Say what ya feel! That's what this is for!
