Thank You Douglas County Voters!
The passage of 5A is a huge celebration for our district, our staff, and our students! Our teachers and staff will receive salary increases that will make their pay more competitive with surrounding school districts. In addition, DCSD will be able to enhance security staffing in our schools.
One thing is clear — our community is behind our schools and our staff and we are incredibly grateful.
DCSD Funding Challenges
Make DCSD teachers and staff pay more competitive with other school districts.
Provide additional School Resource Officers and security staff at schools and continuously upgrade and replace equipment.
Continued investment in pathways, setting our students up for success after high school.
Keeping school buildings comfortable and safe for students and staff.
Building new schools in quickly-growing neighborhoods to reduce crowding.
Schools are an integral part of our neighborhoods, our economies, and our lives. An investment in our students and schools is an investment in our community.
