General information

This area includes the city of Dubuque and the outlying communities of: Asbury, Durango, Graf, Rickardsville, Sageville, Sherrill, and St. Donatus.

DCSD is one of the largest employers in the city of Dubuque, with 1,876 employees,^[2] 846 of which are teachers.^[3] The number of district employees has been rising in recent years due to new school construction, and the expansion of existing schools. From 2003-2006, DCSD hired 268 new full- and part-time teachers.^[4]

DCSD is governed by a 7-member elected school board and is managed by an appointed Superintendent of Schools. Current school board members include Tami Ryan, Mike Donohoe, Tom Barton, Craig Beytien, Jim Prochaska, Terra Simon Siegert and Lisa Wittman.^[5] The Superintendent of Schools is Stan Rheingans.^[6]

Recent developments

Approximately $10.5 million was spent on the Dalzell Field Reconstruction at Dubuque Senior High School, which was completed in April 2013. The field features 3,125 new spectator seats and the digital display on the scoreboard is 20 feet by 11 feet – one of the largest of its kind in the region.^[8]

In 2008 Iowa passed a State Penny for School Infrastructure sales tax. This tax replaced the county local option sales taxes throughout Iowa. After the district’s local option sales tax expired the statewide tax took effect on July 1, 2013. It is anticipated that the FY 2013-14 sales tax collections will exceed $8 million.^[9]
