The Montrose County School District Board of Education has decided to put a nearly $200 million bond measure on the November ballot, asking voters to fund the construction of a new Montrose High School. The proposed project, which would replace the aging facility with a modern, 247,000-square-foot building, has sparked debate among board members, with most supporting the initiative but one member expressing concern about the high cost and economic impact. If approved, the project would result in a significant tax increase, and the decision will ultimately rest with the community in the upcoming election.
