Compensation Resources
Compensation
This month we wanted to share with you the wide range of compensation resources can be found on the DCSD website under the Compensation page. This page is a great starting point for answers to common compensation questions and includes salary schedules, program information, step-by-step instructions, and much more. We encourage you to bookmark it and refer to it often.

What is the Senior Gold Card?
The Douglas County School District Senior Gold Card is now available to Douglas County residents age 60 and older. The Gold Card offers our senior neighbors FREE admission to most DCSD home athletic events and most student fine-arts performances including plays, concerts and choir performances. Weβre also excited to offer discounts at a couple of our DCSD student-run businesses. Itβs our way of saying "thank you" to our older Douglas County community for the many years of support and contributions to DCSD schools and students. We value the involvement of older Douglas County residents in our schools and their recognition that strong schools equal a strong community!
Whether it's enjoying the marching band performing at halftime under the Friday Night Lights, watching a musical theater production or cheering on your favorite athlete and team, the DCSD Senior Gold Card provides a multitude of opportunities to enjoy DCSD events!
