Endorsements

Our Community Supports David Douglas Schools

The 2022 David Douglas School District bond provided an opportunity for the community to invest directly in David Douglas district schools, supporting current and future students. Passing the David Douglas school bond has enabled the district to make urgent safety and security investments, repair our aging buildings, and build a new Future Careers Center on the high school campus.

We are proud to have received endorsements from across the district and beyond. Thank you to our local businesses, educators and principals, community organizations and partners, parents, retirees, and local elected officials!
