What does this mean for DCG?
We are going to work! Your vote allows our team to continue with building upgrades. We can provide the necessary technology for ALL of our students. We can ensure our bus fleet meets the needs of our community. We can continue our regular maintenance schedule for DCG’s HVAC systems. It’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work, but it is so important! Your support is essential.
It also means that the district is on track to ask voters to support a bond referendum in November. With your approval, we will continue to make Dallas Center-Grimes a marquee district in central Iowa and across the state!
