The Douglas County School District Re. 1 is a school district that serves Douglas County, Colorado. It is the third-largest school district in Colorado, serving more than 50,000 students with almost 70 schools.
Douglas County School District was formed in 1958 by the consolidation of 17 smaller school districts, adding the "Re. 1" to its name to note the district's first reorganization. The district manages 41 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, 8 high schools, 6 charter schools and four other facilities (e.g., Renaissance Expeditionary Learning/Outward Bound Magnet School). The district is led by a seven-member Board of Education.
