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.

With August comes the completion phase of the Roofing projects at Gold Beach High School and Riley Creek Elementary School. Carlson Roofing has the vast majority of the roofing work completed at both sites. They are working through some of the trim and flashing details, as well as the installation of the gutters and downspouts. The District was able to incorporate some additional gutter and downspout replacements with the existing budget for the roofs. A final inspection and walkthrough is scheduled for September 5th. As a reminder, the new roofing comes with a 20-year warranty from the manufacturer allowing the schools many years of dry spaces for the future generations of students. The complete roofing project also included replacement of some unsound electrical runs, replacement of a failing condenser, removal of decommissioned HVAC equipment and some upgrades to the building envelope.
At Gold Beach Junior/Senior High School, the field lighting was completed just in time for football practice to kick off. Overall, the new lights replaced the failed existing lights in kind with more efficient LED versions. Replacement of the field lighting infrastructure included disconnects and distribution panels as well as an overall audit of the lighting infrastructure.
With new bleachers ordered for the Junior/Senior High School, the team is looking at electrical requirements and will start this work once a proposal is received to provide power to the new bleachers. Next steps are verifying color selection and coordinating the actual installation activities in November.
For the greater bond projects at both Riley Creek and Gold Beach, the team is into the Design Development phase of design. One item that is getting attention is the HVAC system and attempts to improve the overall system while still maintaining the project budget. Initial estimates have allowed the team to take a deeper look into more options for HVAC aside from replacement of the existing with like for like. Much of this information is preliminary and the Mechanical Engineers have been engaged in determining the feasibility of a different system.

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.
