Tuition Assistance 2023-24

Thank you for your interest in the Tuition Assistance Program.  We have had such a great response to the tuition assistance program this year with employees embracing opportunities for growth. Unfortunately, the $500,000 limit has been exhausted at this early point in the year.  All applications previously approved will be honored upon completion.  There will be no wait list at this time.  

We are currently not accepting any new applications for the remainder of the 2023-24 school year.

Please Note:

According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Tax Benefits for Education, If your employer pays more than $5,250 for educational benefits, you must pay taxes on the amount over $5,250 in a calendar year. Therefore, DCSD will be adding any amount over $5,250, to your gross pay in order to withhold the appropriate taxes and record this as W-2 wages (reported in Box 1 and Box 14).

NOTICE OF DESTRUCTION OF SPECIAL EDUCATION RECORDS

Special Education records which have been collected by Douglas County School District related to the identification, evaluation, educational placement, or the provision of special education in the district, must be maintained under state and federal laws for the period of five (5) years after special education services have ended for the student. Special education services end when the student is no longer eligible for services, graduates, or completes his/her educational program at age 21, or moves from the district. This notification is to inform parents/guardians and former students of Douglas County School District's intent to destroy the special education records of students who exited special education services as of June 30, 2016. These records will be destroyed in accordance with state law unless the parent/guardian or eligible (adult) student notifies the school district otherwise. After five years, the records are no longer useful to the district, but may be useful to the parent/guardian or former student in applying for social security benefits, rehabilitation services, college entrance, etc. The parent/guardian or eligible (adult) student may request a copy of the records by requesting the records at this link ( Douglas County School District Transcripts and Records Requests ).
