Duluth Public Schools is celebrating significant progress in graduation rates at Denfeld High School, which saw an increase of 7.85% overall.
Duluth Public Schools has finalized a plan to address a $4 million budget gap for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year. While rising costs for supplies, insurance, and specialized services have outpaced state and federal funding, our district remains committed to fiscal responsibility while keeping student learning at the forefront.
After months of data review and community collaboration, the district has approved a plan to reduce spending by approximately $4.2 million.
