PUEBLO — Along with many districts in Colorado, Pueblo School District 60 (D60) has seen a decline in enrollment, resulting in underutilized buildings.

According to D60, buildings are at 66% capacity, which they say causes limited resources to be spread across schools. D60 also says older buildings may not be configured to provide instructional programs.
D60 is undertaking a process to reimagine its schools to its current and projected enrollment so the district can better serve its students and the community.
