School accreditation 

Seven out of the nine schools in Summit School District saw growth in their accreditation status scores handed down by the Colorado Department of Education. District officials say they plan to home in on what works for future years to close the remaining gaps. For the 2023-24 year, the district at-large received a score of 55%, bumping it to the “accredited with improvement plan” status. This year, with a score of 58.1%, the district is now in “accredited” status. Though there were several areas of notable improvement, the district said the work done by Frisco Elementary School to boost its individual school rating by around 22% stands out. The school received the highest rating in the district at 87%.

Road repairs

The Summit Board of County Commissioners recently discussed a ballot measure that would allow them to use lodging tax revenue for road repairs. The measure would not increase the lodging tax or create new revenue for the county but would add road and bridge as an area in which the county could use lodging tax revenue, joining child care and housing. The resolution will be on the ballot for voters in unincorporated Summit County this fall.
