Dear Bruneau-Grand View Families,
We’re excited to begin another great year of learning, growth, and community across the
Bruneau-Grand View School District. Thank you for your continued support as we work together
to create safe, engaging, and successful schools for all students.
At the August 12 School Board meeting, the Board approved a resolution calling for a school
closure election, in accordance with Idaho Code § 33-511(3)(a). This resolution authorizes the
placement of a notice of election and the question of closing Bruneau Elementary School for the
2026–2027 school year on the ballot for the election to be held November 4, 2025.
We recognize this is an emotional and significant topic for our community. This decision was
made with great care and concern for the families who trust us to educate their children. It also
reflects the ongoing challenge of being responsible stewards of district resources amid declining
enrollment and the costs of maintaining three aging campuses. We encourage all community
members to stay engaged. More information and public meetings will be scheduled in the
coming months to ensure transparency and community input throughout this process.
Enrollment at a Glance: Bruneau Elementary School: 24 students (Grades K–5), Grand View
Elementary School: 107 students (PreK–5), Rimrock Jr/Sr High School: 126 students (Grades
6–12).
As we begin the school year, we kindly ask all families to review and update your contact
information with your child’s school secretary. We use a parent notification system to send
important updates via phone, text, and email. These notifications may include emergency and
weather-related school closures, district-wide announcements, and class-specific updates from
teachers. Keeping your contact details current ensures you stay informed and connected.
Attendance Matters: We are working toward a 95% attendance rate for all students and staff this
school year. Consistent attendance supports academic success, student safety, and confidence.
Please take a moment to review Policy 3050 (available under the “Policy” menu on our website)
to better understand how we support and monitor attendance throughout the district.
Thank you for being a valued part of the Bruneau-Grand View School District. We look forward
to partnering with you for a successful year!

Thank you,

Jeff Blaser, Superintendent
