District overview
Durham Unified School District
Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
How Durham plans and funds its schools
The board governs Durham Elementary, Intermediate, and High schools. Its annual LCAP sets district goals and the original budget assigns the money needed to carry them out.
Governance
Five elected trustees meet regularly; the public archive includes agendas and, for many meetings, approved minutes.
Planning
The June 24, 2026 board approved the 2026-27 LCAP, which connects district goals to school plans.
Budget
The same meeting approved the 2026-27 original budget. The collected financial forms show 2025-26 estimated actual average daily attendance of 1,036.15.
The collected archive does not include every supporting attachment or a complete multi-year financial-report library, so it cannot show every program cost.
