Financial Transparency

School financing is a complicated topic and the Dubuque Community School District works hard to provide the community with a broad, understandable overview of how the district’s funds are determined and allocated.

We take our stewardship of taxpayer resources very seriously and, in an effort to transparently share our financial information with you, we are pleased to share the most common financial reports with our community.
