School District Mission

In the summer of 2002, the school board was involved in the process of evaluating and refining the overall school vision, which is “We will serve as a lighthouse for public education in our community.” This means the district will strive to the best of its abilities to provide leadership to: 1) inspire high student achievement, 2) nurture responsible citizenship, 3) create lifelong learners, and 4) ensure no child gets lost. The board and superintendent have joined with all staff, teachers, parents and students to provide exceptional learning opportunities and support for our most valuable asset: our children.

School District Facts

There are approximately 380 certificated and classified employees in the district. The school district has an excellent reputation and the student population, as a whole, scores high on state assessments and other standardized tests.

Bus transportation for students is provided according to guidelines established by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Transportation Department. Students eligible for school bus transportation are those living over one mile from school. Bus stops, routes, and times are published each fall in the Anacortes American newspaper.

District Finances

For the past several years, Anacortes School District has submitted special levies for voter approval every two years. District voters approved a four-year levy in February 2006 covering calendar years 2007 – 2010.  Elections are generally held in February preceding the period stipulated in the levy request. Levy funds support underfunded state programs such as transportation and special programs including remedial education, the Challenge program for highly capable students, health services, support of libraries, staff development, and technology.
