DCSD Board to Place
$490 Million Bond on Ballet
As you’ve likely heard, on Tuesday, August 27 the
DCSD Board of Education voted unanimously
to place a $490 million Bond question for the November 2024 ballot(see press release).
This year the Bond, as our only initiative, will appear on the ballot as
“5A” (last year the Bond was “5B”).
If approved by voters,Douglas County homeowners
would not see an increase in current property taxes.
The Bond amount would allow the school district to
restructure its debt in order to keep property taxes from increasing.
The Bond would help us care for our 112 facilities to ensure our staff
and students have safe and comfortable learning environments,
build schools in fast-growing developments in Douglas County,
upgrade safety and security in our schools, and offer additional
Career and Technical Education programs.
Learn more at the links below.
To learn more about how additional funding would benefit our schools and our staff, visitwww.dcsdk12.org/funding.

Senior Project
Mentor Sign Up
As a mentor for the Senior Project, you will help guide
the student with their learning,
and upon completion, you will be asked to
verify the student's effort on his/her physical product/fieldwork.
Since most of the time spent on the product phase
of the assignment will be outside of the classroom,
verification of the student's efforts is necessary.
Be aware that serving as a mentor requires a time
commitment from you that includes regular contact.
After completing the interest form,
you will receive a follow-up email with a district volunteer application
to complete and return before you are able to serve as a mentor.
For more information on the Senior Project,
please visit the Senior Project 2025 page on the TRHS website.
If you would like to volunteer to be a judge
for the Senior Boards on April 11, please click here.
