What you need to know
- NOTHING CHANGES THIS YEAR. Changes take effect beginning July 2024 for elementary school students only.
- Beginning in the 2024-25 school year, all district elementary students will be assigned to one of five regions in the county. This is a bold new idea for Durham, one that brings the power of possibilities home to DPS families.
- Every child in each region will have access to elementary school choices that are equitable, close to home and supported by short school bus routes.
- They can attend their base school or access a year-round choice, an international baccalaureate program, a Montessori or a dual language immersion program that is just down the road.
- All base elementary schools will provide STEM, ARTS AND GLOBAL LANGUAGE LEARNING STANDARD.
That’s right. Every elementary school, including all zoned and non-application (non-magnet) schools, will offer STEM, arts and global language learning programs
for every child.
