District overview
Arcadia School District
Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
How is Arcadia governed and funded?
The seven-member school board oversees the district and its finances. The district’s historical annual budget materials list property-tax and state revenue; an annual district meeting separately considers the levy. Finance, negotiations and policy committees are represented in board records.
Budget snapshot
The September 2026 accounting table in the October packet lists a $19,134,407.47 Fund 10 budget. It is a dated accounting snapshot; the collected record does not establish the final October board vote or audited spending.
Facilities work
March minutes record a maximum of $846,800 for listed improvement measures, with the chiller assigned to the 2026–27 budget. Actual costs and completion remain unverified.
Who participates
The board meets regularly, with exceptions, and appoints committees. A separate annual meeting hears the budget and considers the levy.
The October 26 budget and levy outcomes and a current per-pupil spending figure were not verified. The district’s available annual booklet describes 2025–26 proposals, not the 2026–27 final budget.
