The Yarnell Elementary School District
Governing Board has held several public study sessions to discuss options for high
school attendance choice. Mr. Tim
Carter, Yavapai County School Superintendent; Kellie Burns, District Executive
Officer; and Renee Raskin, Deputy Chief, Yavapai County Education Services; have
been present for the sessions to work on options for YESD. The school board is responsible for the
fiscal management of funds and has reviewed tuition costs.
Currently, our eighth graders have had a choice between Prescott High School and Wickenburg High School. Due to the increase in tuition costs from Wickenburg High School, the school board made the decision at the November 8, 2018, board meeting to limit that choice to one high school: Prescott High School. For more information regarding this decision, please see the above link, High School Tuition and Transportation per Student.
By only having one home high school district (which is typical of most rural schools), YESD can help keep local tax-rates down.
