South Gray Schools

Dear Copeland District Patrons, Thank You! It is with sincere gratitude that I thank everyone who participated in yesterday’s school bond election for USD #476 Copeland. The results of the bond election affirm our community’s commitment and demonstrate how deeply our patrons care about the future of our schools, our community, and the success of our students. The passage of the bond represents a long-term investment in our students, our schools, our community and the future of Copeland USD #476. On behalf of our students, staff, and Board of Education, thank you to everyone who took the time to vote, attend community meetings, ask questions and share their perspectives, As we transition from planning to implementation, our next steps will include finalizing plans, selecting a construction company, selling bonds, and carefully managing the project budget. Throughout each phase, we remain committed to keeping our patrons informed and involved as the project moves forward. Thank you again for your participation, confidence, and continued support of Copeland Schools. We look forward to providing our community with a 21st-century educational facility that will serve our students for generations to come and that our entire community can be proud of. Sincerely, Jay Zehr Superintendent South Gray Schools Montezuma USD #371 Copeland USD #476
