Board of Education
Each Colorado school district is governed by a board of education comprised of people elected by the residents of the district. It is the board's responsibility to establish and maintain a system of education in the district, as prescribed by the constitution and laws of the state. School board members are community volunteers who give freely of their time to govern public schools. Durango School District 9-R is governed by a 7 member board.
