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 mandatory pre-bid meeting for the District Wide Roofing project occurred on February 21st and there was good participation from roofing contractors. On March 13th, two bids were received that were in alignment with previous estimates. The lowest bidder was notified and the Recommendation to Award will be presented to the School Board at the March 20th meeting for approval. This is the first major project of the bond and signifies a huge leap forward in some much needed improvements to the roofs at both Riley Creek Elementary School and Gold Beach Junior/Senior High School. This work is slated to be performed over the 2024 summer break.
Soderstrom Architects, S+B James Construction, HMK and the District have been performing the exercise of aligning the budgets with the work scopes as initial estimates were received for renovations at both schools. In an effort to align these, the project team is now looking at all possibilities for reducing costs and utilizing value engineering.

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.
