Breckenridge resident Tom Day is running for a seat on the Summit School District Board of Education.

Day said he is very concerned about “the declining quality of education” he witnessed while his two sons attended Summit School District between 2003 and 2024.

“I know how good our schools were in the past. I know our schools can return to that higher standard,” he said in a recent press release.



He said he is encouraged by the resounding defeat of Summit School District’s $195 million bond referendum because it did not include any funding for teachers or curriculum. He said he believes the community has spoken and is aware that the district needs a different direction, one Day said he feels he can achieve.

Day holds a degree in electrical engineering from Montana State University and has been a realtor in Summit since 1989. He has been a Realtor in Summit since 1989. He also said he has been a ski instructor locally “for even longer” with a particular involvement with youth. He also has been a volunteer music teacher for Summit students and a sculptor with the Breckenridge International Snow Sculpting team. He coached 93 third graders with their first snow sculpture.
