Douglas County School District BoE Meetings and Agenda
DCSD Recent Decisions
- Cut a total of 11 research based staff development courses for teachers and classified employees without replacing them
- Eliminated an agreement that capped class sizes in the district
- Cut $3.6 million from high schools, while at the same time handing out tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses to top administrators
- Raising teacher load at high schools will cause less individualized time with students and decrease the amount of student contact time
