In last weeks Mancos Town Board meeting, the board discussed the demolition of the roundhouse in Boyle Park. The total cost to demolish it is $2,665. However, the board would like to see the building repurposed instead of torn down. Town administrator Tom Yennerell said, I think the town would be remiss if they took it down without trying to do something with it. We may find somebody who wants to buy it; we may not.

The number of students in the San Juan School District has climbed by 133 students in the past year, with much of the growth driven by enrollment gains in the Montezuma Creek-area schools. In the past year, the Arizona Department of Education determined that they would no longer provide education for students from Utah. The Red Mesa Schools are near the Arizona-Utah state line and have been serving students on both sides of the line. As a result of the change in policy, scores of students who were attending school in Red Mesa are now attending schools in Montezuma Creek.
