A. SCHOOLS
Pueblo County has two public school districts, No. 60 and No. 70. School
District No. 60 is primarily contained within the Pueblo City limits;
however, it also includes land outside City limits. District boundaries
are not precisely the same as City limits in that some "City" children go
to "County" schools and vice versa (See Map Series 27).
1. School District No. 60
School District No. 60 is divided into four high school service areas
which relate closely to the City's Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and
Southwest Planning Quadrants.
District No. 60 maintains a total of four (4) high schools, six (6) middle
schools, twenty —three (23) elementary schools, and a continuing education
center. The District prefers that its elementary schools be
"neighborhood" schools in that they are planned to be located centrally to
and within walking distance of the population they serve.
School District No. 60 acquires new school sites by working directly with
the developer. The School District prefers this method in lieu of land
dedication through the Subdivision Process because it allows them to
select quality land.
Potential future school sites currently exist in the University Park and
Belmont Subdivisions in the Northeast Quadrant, the Regency Park and
El Camino Subdivisions in the Southwest Quadrant, and the Northridge and
Eagleridge Subdivisions in the Northwest Quadrant.

The Northeast portion of the City contains four elementary schools, one
middle school, and one high school (See Map 27.a.). Table VIII.a. shows
current enrollment, projected enrollment for the 1991 -92 school year,
maximum capacity, and optimal capacity for each of the schools. According
to these figures, Franklin and Haaff Elementary and Heaton Middle Schools
have surpassed optimal capacity and nearing actual school capacity. All
other schools in the area can accommodate increased enrollment growth.
Bradford, Fountain, Fairview, Bessemer, and Spann Elementary Schools and
Risley Middle School are located within the Southeast area of the District
(See Map 27.b.). Bradford and Parkview Elementary Schools are nearing
capacity. A new Risley Middle School was recently completed. East High
School serves the Southeast area. This high school would be impacted by
additional growth in the Southeast portion of the School District.
Within the Southwest Quadrant, School District No. 60 currently serves the
area south of the Arkansas River and west of I -25 with eight elementary
schools, three middle schools, two high schools, and a continuing
education center (See Map 27.c.). The middle schools and high schools
have adequate room for enrollment growth; however, due to new residential
developments, such as Regency Park and E1 Camino, many of the elementary
schools are nearing capacity.
Within the Northwest Quadrant, School District No. 60 currently serves the
area north of the Arkansas River and west of I -25 with four (4) elementary
schools, one (1) middle school, and one (1) high school (See Map 27.d.).
The middle school and high school have adequate room for enrollment
growth; however, due to new residential developments, such as Northridge
and Eagleridge, many of the elementary schools are nearing or are over
capacity.

This school would be reopened if growth
Except in Pueblo blest, School District No. 70 is not experiencing intense
pressure associated with rapid development and increasing enrollment (See
Table IX). This may change with continuing growth and annexation by the
metropolitan area. Presently, population is lightly concentrated along
U. S. Highway 50 and sparsely distributed throughout the rest of the
County.
The schools in District No. 70 are considered "suburban" schools by the
Colorado Department of Education. Approximately 94 percent of the
students are bussed to schools. The district identifies philosophically
with neighborhood schools and would construct additional facilities in an
area to meet the demands of growth and development.
School District No. 70, through an agreement with Pueblo County, requires
that ten percent of net land in residential developments be dedicated for
school sites or that fees be paid to the District in lieu of land
dedication. School officials estimate that ten to fifteen acres are
needed for an elementary school, twenty to twenty —five for a middle
school, and thirty —five to forty acres for a high school. '

3. Detachment and Annexation of School Districts
Detachment and annexation of territory from one district to another is a
complex process. The School District Organization Act of 1965, Section
22 -30 -138, states that if detachment and annexation is deemed to be
worthwhile, then both boards of education must adopt a resolution to
change the boundaries of their respective districts. This resolution then
goes to a joint committee or to the District 70 superintendent for
approval. Once this is done, a special election is held in the territory
proposed to be detached. If five or fewer registered voters reside within
the territory proposed to be detached and annexed, a notarized statement
of consent of all voters within the territory shall make it unnecessary to
hold an election. In the absence of said statements, an election must be
held. If there are no registered voters within the territory, no election
is to be held; and the joint committee or District 70 superintendent shall
approve the proposed detachment and annexation of the territory. Such
detachment and annexation of territory brings to issue not only student
welfare but district assets, liabilities, revenues, and influence. It
should not be assumed that Districts 60 and 70 would change their
boundaries when land is annexed to the City.

B. RECREATION
1. Parks and Recreation
The City of Pueblo has approximately 948 acres of parkland and 1,707 acres
of open space floodplain within its boundaries. Combined, these account
for more than ten percent of total City land. Recreational facilities
include a large urban park (City Park) which serves the entire Pueblo
community, a district park (Mineral Palace) which serves a portion of the
City, and smaller parks which serve neighborhood populations.
Parks and recreational land standards are expressed in terms of a given
number of acres per unit of population. Those quantitative standards
observed by the City Department of Planning and Development are as shown
in Table X.
