Our Platform: Leading 9r forward
We believe every child in 9-R deserves equitable opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed. That means creating safe, supportive schools where individual needs are met and students can thrive. The role of the School Board is to foster this success, and we are committed to making decisions that keep our kids at the center of every discussion.
Our public schools are the foundation of our community’s future. By focusing on the big picture, and not just the issue of the moment, we can prepare our students to face tomorrow’s challenges with confidence. Together, we will continue building a system that supports teachers, empowers students, and strengthens Durango’s future.
