The Arcata Elementary School District is seeking members to serve on its Citizens’ Oversight Committee to oversee expenditures of Measure B bond funds (approved by District voters on March 5, 2024 for facilities improvement projects) and Measure H parcel tax funds (approved by District voters on November 8, 2016 for art, music and dance programs; reduced class sizes; health programs; and necessary staffing). The District is presently accepting applications from interested citizens. The 7-member Committee will meet one or more times per year to hear a report from District staff regarding bond and parcel tax fund project expenditures, and confirm for the public that funds have been spent only on the projects approved by District voters. Committee members may live outside District boundaries.
Interested persons may obtain an application from the District Office, located at 1435 Buttermilk Lane in Sunny Brae, or download the application from the District’s website at arcataschooldistrict.org (Family/Community - Forms). Applications are due by Friday, August 1, 2025 at the office of the Superintendent or via email sent to the attention of Superintendent Luke Biesecker at: [email protected].
The applications of all interested individuals will be presented to the ASD Board of Trustees so that Committee appointments can be made at their August 18, 2025 regular meeting. Applicants are not required to be in attendance. If you have any questions about the Committee, please contact Superintendent Luke Biesecker at (707) 822-0351, ext. 101 or [email protected] for more information.
