Long-Range Planning Committee

As Durango School District continues to improve, it remains essential to gather input from community stakeholders to ensure the district's plans align the priorities of taxpayers and residents with the needs of the district. To guide this process, the Board of Education established the Durango School District Long-Range Planning Committee in February of 2023 to assess current district facilities and develop a vision for future renovations and new construction. That committee stood down after making recommendations to the Board in early 2024, and a bond measure was passed in November 2024.

The Long-Range Planning Committee came back together in August 2024 to begin discussions on longer term goals. The committee continues to meet on a quarterly basis with the goal of offering more recommendations for a school system designed to meet the needs of the community over the next 50 years. These recommendations will reflect the Board's vision, consider local population trends, and account for factors such as staffing, budget, facilities, resources, and educational and co-curricular programs.
