The Douglas County Federation (DCF) has received a lot of questions and concerns about school closures/ school pairing in DCSD and want to invite you to participate in a DCF virtual community forum on January 26th at 6:30pm.

The Board of Education published proposed policies on school closures, consolidations, and relocations to their website ahead of their January 14th meeting. After reviewing these proposals, we are concerned that the District is establishing a school closure procedure that will apply to the entire county but are only currently working with HR community members because they will be first affected. Population in Douglas County is declining and it is likely that DCSD will need to pursue additional closures in the coming years. This means that all of us should have a say in how these closures happen and how publicly owned school buildings will be used thereafter.

In the short term, it is important we, employees and residents in Douglas County, demand a voice in school closure decision making and plan development. The Board is scheduled to hear public comment and hold a vote on these policies on January 28th. It is our intention to solicit feedback from educators and community members at our forum on January 26th to bring to the board meeting. This is also an incredible opportunity to partner with community groups to provide the best outcomes for DCSD students and their families.

Please register to attend our Zoom community forum. It is important that we pack the virtual room so that we can invite school board members and the press to hear your concerns. Please also consider sharing this info far and wide with your colleagues and friends. This forum is open to anyone in Douglas County. The more participants, the better.

Watch D.O.G.S. is a program that gives dads the opportunity to spend either a half or whole day in the building with their children. You will help in classrooms and go to lunch and recess with your child.

The purpose of the program:

1. To provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is essential.
2. To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying. All dads are encouraged to be a Watch D.O.G.S. Dad at least once a year.
