Dear DPS Community,
The 2024 Bond Oversight Committee is proud to release the 2025-26 Denver Public Schools Annual Bond Report. Denver voters said “yes” to 4A, approving a $975 million investment in our public schools. Since then, DPS has been hard at work fulfilling the needs of 197 buildings across the district, including all schools. Thanks to the voters’ investment in DPS, students have safer, healthier and more engaging learning environments that will create new opportunities for their present and future.
The annual report outlines the projects that have been completed, their impact and what projects are coming up next. During the 2025-26 school year, $394 million was spent and committed, funding:
734 critical maintenance projects.
One million square feet of new concrete.
29 air conditioned schools.
117 focused learning environments.
17 secured safety vestibules.
13 comprehensive high school athletics upgrades.
Responsible stewardship is how a public promise becomes a lasting student benefit. We have been able to build more modernized systems and more reliable facilities using electrification and efficiency measures thanks to Denver voters. We have actively engaged Minority Women Business Enterprises (MWBE) and local businesses in the projects while maintaining transparent reporting and public oversight.

In collaboration,
Dr. Alex Marrero
