Due to low candidate turnout, the Durango School District 9-R Board of Education has cancelled an election for two board seats, scheduled for November 7, 2023. There are two director offices that were to be voted upon this fall: one in District B and the other in District D. Both seats are four-year terms.

During the 2021-22 school year, Durango School District formed the Inclusive Excellence Guiding Coalition. The coalition exists to inform, lead, and champion the diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) strategic plan in which all students own their learning, act on their learning, impact their community, and live out their Ikigai.

The 2023 Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) results were just released, along with PSAT and SAT scores from Spring 2023 testing. Durango School District students fared well compared to state and national results.

As we begin the school year, it's important to monitor your student's health and keep them home when they aren't feeling well or show symptoms such as cough, fever, sore throat, vomiting, or diarrhea.
