The Bond and Mill Levy Override will provide funds to DPS schools in critical need of repair, modernization, maintenance, and supplies. The Mill Levy Override:
- Would expand investments in early childhood reading programs and supports, i.e., One on One tutoring and improved classroom technology.
- Will allow DPS to add more professional education opportunities for teachers such as new trainings,
added planning and collaboration times, and helping teachers learn proven methods for teaching young students how to read.
- Increases funding for teacher leadership positions and professional development opportunities.
- Will help prevent future cuts and classroom size increases. The Bond:
- Will allow DPS to build and expand schools to keep classroom sizes down and accommodate for future future student population growth.
- Will fund critical investments in maintenance for existing schools, such as repairing failing brick work, mortar, and updating exterior doors and roofs.
- Will help DPS improve classroom technology, gyms and other facilities, and add cooling solutions to the hottest schools in DPS (which can reach over 90 degrees in the classroom!)
