"I look forward to working with the new Board and bringing them up to speed on the amazing work and accomplishments of this District," says DCSD Interim Superintendent Steve Herzog. "I also want to thank the outgoing Board members who have dedicated themselves to the District over the past four years. Your work has contributed toward building a District that is a leader not only in Colorado, but across the nation."
The Board of Education (BOE) sets the policies that guide the public education of the students in the community. Board members regularly assess community needs and aspirations to develop an educational program consistent with community resources.
More information about the BOE End Statements and the Board of Education in general is available on the District website, www.dcsdk12.org under the Board of Education link. Election results can be found at www.douglasvotes.com.
