Community Guide to School District Budgeting

This comprehensive guide will introduce you to Durango School District 9-R's preliminary budget. School district budgeting is different than private business budgeting or personal budgeting and can be somewhat complex. This guide will walk you through the basics, covering the budget’s main components. You’ll learn where the money comes from, how the money is used, and how you can get involved in school district budget decisions.

For more detailed information about your school district’s budget, contact the Office of Finance at 247-5411, ext. 1429.
