Tonight the Douglas County Board of Education unanimously voted to place a bond on the November ballot. This is the last year we can place this on the ballot without a tax increase.
Please join us for our kickoff party to learn more and get involved.

Invest in DCSD is ready for another campaign effort to address much-needed improvements at our schools. The needs of the District’s 111 buildings become more challenging each year – aging equipment such as boilers and chillers, crowded classrooms that require the use of modulars, and bus rides up to 45 minutes for students in newer communities without a neighborhood school.
Voters have approved only one bond in the last 18 years to address aging infrastructure - roofs, windows, parking lots, and track and field facilities included. Much of our schools’ critical equipment is beyond repair and must be replaced. Without a bond, these costs will have to come out of the operating budget that would otherwise be used to directly benefit our students.
