New K-9 School - Join Our Community Workshop

Why Have We Proposed Building a New K-9 School in Gibbons?

With both Gibbons School and Landing Trail School facing extensive renovation needs, building a new K-9 school will provide a modern solution that meets the needs of students, families, and our growing community.

The new school will:

  • Replace Aging Infrastructure: The current schools have large deferred maintenance costs and outdated facilities. A new, purpose-built facility will be safer, more efficient, and designed for modern educational needs.
  • Support Enhanced Learning Opportunities: With specialized spaces for Career and Technology Foundations (CTF) and more flexible, well-lit classrooms, students will have access to enriched programs and learning environments.
  • Promote Health and Safety: The new building will address deficiencies in health and safety standards, including updated ventilation, natural light, and safe, modern classrooms for all students.
  • Save on Long-Term Costs: Partnering with the Town of Gibbons, this project is a financially responsible investment that will replace two aging schools with one efficient, shared-use campus. The Town of Gibbons has secured a future-ready site that accommodates population growth and connects the school with community recreational facilities.

Our goal is to create a vibrant, efficient school that serves both current and future generations, supporting student success and community wellness.
