Central Curry
School District 1
A rigorous and relevant education for each and every student
Bond program
In May of 2023, the Central Curry School District passed a bond of $15 million to repair, renovate, and renew their district properties.
An additional $4 million dollars in matching grant funds have already been pre-approved by the State of Oregon to aid in the renovations.
Most of the district buildings were built in the 1940’s and ’50s, which now require significant renovations. The Central Curry School District Bond Program ensures students have the opportunity to learn in a safe, up-to-date environment, and preserve school facilities as long term assets.
The bulk of the funds will be used for roof/gutter repair, windows, entry doors, interior finishes, new HVAC systems, siding, electrical, and plumbing. In addition to that, funds will be used to improve traffic circulation at both schools, create dedicated secure entrances, and increase the safety of district facilities. Some of the funds will also be used to upgrade athletic facilities and update vocational education space.
Many of those in the community were once kids who passed through the district and ended up living in Gold Beach – so the Central Curry School District bond program is a crucial investment in the future of the community for decades to come. It will provide crucial upgrades, greater security, and the ability for growth in vocational education for students.

General Program Update
The permit and bid set of documents for both Gold Beach Junior/Senior High School and Riley Creek Elementary School were completed. This allowed the District to submit them to Curry County for plan review in preparation to receive building permits for these exciting projects. In addition, S+B James Construction, the District’s Construction Manager | General Contractor (CM|GC) published the documents for sub-contractor bidding. The bids are due on December 30th. S+B James, HMK and the District hosted a pre-bid meeting onsite at both GBHS and RCES on December 4th allowing potential sub-contractors to view the project sites, ask questions and discuss the project approach prior to placing a bid on the work.
Prior to the bidding phase the project team met to discuss the project schedule and phasing of the work. The intent is to keep the campuses occupied and phase the work in a way that allows it to be completed without interrupting the daily activities of the staff and students. There will be a large push to complete as much as possible while the campuses are vacant during the summer 2025 break but due to the amount of scope, some of it will need to take place during the school year.

Bond Update
On behalf of the Central Curry School District, I would like to thank all the voters who responded to the bond measure that was on the May 16th ballot. The unofficial results indicate the bond has passed with a 56% approval rate. We are grateful to our community for investing in our buildings to provide our students and staff with a safe and comfortable school environment at each of our school sites. We celebrate this accomplishment with you and appreciate your continued support.
I want to thank the CCSD School Board and bond planning committee for all the hours of work they put into making this happen. Your vision has been inspiring.
– Eric Milburn, Superintendent
