Durango 9-R Board of Education meetings are generally held twice a month starting at 5:30 p.m. and are always open to the public. The first meeting of the month is usually a work session while the second meeting is the official public meeting where actions are taken and there is always an opportunity for public input. Meetings are subject to change and are quorum-dependent. See below for public participation forms that must be filled out 24 hours in advance.
