A note from Interim Superintendent Don Amonett before Tuesday's election:

 
I have spent 41 years focusing on the students in our district. I know that all of you join me in caring deeply about each and every child and providing them with the best education possible. They deserve the best we have to give each and every day. The main thing is to meet the needs of our students. I encourage you to keep "the main thing" the main thing.

Please be sure and vote on Tues., Nov. 7 and consider all the information presented from all sides. Thank you for being 100% DPS every day! **Early voting continues through tomorrow at 5 p.m.
