A new K-5 school has been mentioned in an official Commerce City Schools document.
The Commerce Board of Education approved the city’s five-year facilities plan in a very short meeting Monday.
The facilities plan does not require the district to build a new school and the facilities plan does not characterize it as a “need.”
Superintendent Joy Tolbert told the board at an earlier meeting this fall that it should consider a new building toward the middle of the next decade.

The planned Empower College and Career Center in Jackson County got a major boost last week when it was awarded a $3 million grant from the state.
The Technical College System of Georgia awarded the county the grant at a ceremony in Atlanta last Thursday. The funds will be used to help restructure the current Jackson County Comprehensive High School facility into a college and career center. The existing JCCHS is slated to be relocated to a new high school facility on the west side of Jackson County in 2020.
