DCSD is the third-largest school district in Colorado with 92 schools and 62,000 students.
DCSD has 112 buildings. When school maintenance and repairs are not addressed, taxpayer dollars are spent on avoidable and reactive measures due to aging infrastructure not being updated.
The quality of DCSD's learning environments continues to deteriorate. The passage of the 2024 bond will allow the district to address $179 million of the $300 million backlog.
