During the Spring Election Cycle, the Big Sky School District Bond issue for Phase III of the master facility plan failed by 66 votes this past Tuesday. Phases 1 and 2 will be completely buttoned up and occupied by the district in mid to late August and we are really thankful that the students will have these facilities for the future of teaching and learning in Big Sky School District. Phase III will most likely be postponed for some time, however, the district now has a shovel ready project that is ready to launch if and when the trustees decide to put it up for a vote of the tax payers. Thanks to all of you who supported the school in this endeavor. In addition, the board of trustees will see two new members joining the team. Matt Dodd and Seth Barker have both been elected to the board for three year terms, congratulations to both Seth and Matt on their elections. We also say good bye to and thank Scott Hammond and Stacy Ossorio, both of whom have served the on the board for more than two terms each.
⚠️ Bus Service Update: Route 1 (Mr. Wayne - Trout) - no afternoon service on Tuesday 5/9 and Friday 5/12 . The route will run in the morning.
