2024 Investing In Our Schools Bond

Since March, Durango School District has made significant progress on the 2024 Investing in Our Schools Bond program, establishing oversight committees, selecting architects for the new elementary school, advancing planning and scheduling, and initiating early phases of construction and maintenance projects.

A staff survey conducted by Durango School District (DSD) in February confirms a growing need for workforce housing among educators and support staff.

Durango School District (DSD) officially launched the 2024 Investing in Our Schools Bond with a high-energy event at Florida Mesa Elementary School (FMES) on Feb. 25, setting the stage for three years of transformative improvements across all of the district's schools.

Since our December 2024 update on the 2024 Investing in Our Schools Bond, Durango School District (DSD) has made significant progress.

Thanks to our community’s support of public education, Ballot Issue 4A passed with 61.27% of voters in favor. This $150 million bond will fund the construction of a new elementary school in Three Springs, address critical deferred maintenance needs, and explore affordable housing options for our teachers and staff. We are committed to being transparent and providing regular updates on the progress of the new bond plans via our newsletters and social media channels.
