School survey

Recent staff surveys by Summit School District have identified areas for improvement as communication, facilities and district culture. Ahead of recent programing changes, some teachers said they were operating in “survival mode.” Respondents also raised concerns about compensation, staffing and retention, saying they were stressed financially. This year’s salary negotiations yielded a less than 1% increase for the base salary of teachers.

Frisco food hall

Prospectors Market Place, a new food hall on Main Street in Frisco, is open. The location includes bars, restaurants, fresh crepes, artisan coffee, ice cream and a video arcade. Food options include Asian fusion, empanadas and BBQ with more on the way. 

Dillon development

Dillon Town Council has selected a bid from Keystone Policy Center to serve as a facilitator and run community forums to discuss redevelopment of the town core. The bid came in at $16,100, the least expensive of 10 applicants. The council members debated whether spending the funds was necessary, with two wanting to avoid the un-budgeted expense and four saying it was worth the cost. Council members asked that the economic development advisory committee discuss the forum plan before final approval.
