Duluth Public Schools will need to make $5 million in necessary budgetary adjustments for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year. These adjustments are in response to financial challenges, including the end of federal pandemic relief funding, inflation, new unfunded legislative mandates, and rising special education costs.
