The Silver Consolidated Schools Board of Education reviewed early design concepts for the Cliff School renovation during a recent meeting held on the Cliff campus. Two favored design schemes were presented using five committee-established goals focused on flexibility, efficiency, community legacy, sustainability, and long-term resilience. A key decision still under consideration is whether to renovate the existing gymnasium or to build a new one.
