Western Colorado University recognizes the nearly completed $120 million investment in new school facilities across Gunnison County as a pivotal opportunity to implement strategic planning tailored for our youngest learners, ensuring that infrastructure improvements are matched with thoughtful curriculum, staffing, and community partnerships. We support a coordinated approach—bringing together educators, families, and local agencies—to build a robust early‑learning ecosystem that enhances educational outcomes and sustains the future workforce of the region.
