District overview
Nicasio School District
Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
One elected board governs one TK–8 school
Nicasio is a small Marin County district whose three-member Board of Trustees directly governs its only school. Barbara Snekkevik serves as both superintendent and principal.
Water infrastructure is a continuing issue
The board archive records an HAA5 drinking-water violation, treatment changes, repeated state-plan review, and an upgrade extension through May 2028.
Academic plans respond to weak math results
The 2026–27 LCAP reports 12% math proficiency in a 17-student tested cohort and plans a new math-materials pilot in fall 2026.
The district relies heavily on local funding
Nicasio is community-funded; its first-interim report said property taxes supplied 61% of revenue and a parcel tax was projected to generate about $229,636.
Percentages can swing sharply in a 35-student school, so academic rates should be read alongside the small tested cohorts rather than as stable large-district trends.

Identity comes from California and federal education records. Governance and alerts come from the district's official Apptegy board archive; all 32 trailing-year records were collected, restored from immutable storage, and reviewed chronologically before publication.
