Summary :
The Sterling Ranch Filing 1 Tract P dedicated school site is 12.512 acres, is currently owned by the Douglas County Board of County Commissioners, and is generally located southwest of the intersection of Titan Road and Taylor River Circle. The site was final platted and dedicated to the Board of County Commissioners as a future school site in November 2015. On August 27th, 2024 the Board of Education unanimously voted to approve a resolution to adopt the 2024 Bond Plan and a resolution to place a Bond issue on the November 5th, 2024 ballot. On November 5th, 2024 Douglas County voters approved a $490 million bond to fund capital reinvestment in existing DCSD facilities as well as the construction of two new elementary school facilities; one to serve the growing Chatfield Urban Area and one to serve the RidgeGate development. The Sterling Ranch elementary school is identified as an urgent new construction need (1-5 years) in the 2024-25 Master Capital Plan as well as in the 2024 Bond Plan. In alignment with the Master Capital Plan and 2024 Bond Plan, DCSD staff presented the Sterling Ranch site to the LRPC at the November 6th meeting. Staff recommended that DCSD request conveyance of the site from Douglas County. The Long Range Planning Committee voted unanimously to recommend that the Board of Education adopt a resolution requesting conveyance of the Sterling Ranch Filing 1 school site. The proposed resolution will authorize staff to petition for conveyance of the site from Douglas County and subsequently obtain title and transfer ownership of the school site to DCSD.
