DPSF School Reopening Grants

Duke supports public education by partnering with Durham Public Schools Foundation. A contribution to the Foundation's School Reopening Grants program yielded wonderful results in our community for teachers, parents and students. Since March, 2021, $300,000 has gone to 39 schools for urgent needs related to returning to the classroom.

Improving our Parks: Lakeview Park

Durham Parks and Recreation (DPR) staff began meeting with residents living near Lakeview Park. They were invited by the neighborhood and the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership to help re-vision the park. Over the course of two years they developed a master plan for the park with the growing Braggtown Community Association.
