What Fox C-6 School District does

Fox C-6 School District is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 745 Jeffco Blvd, Arnold, Missouri, serving more than 10,500 students from Pre-K through 12th grade across 21 district-maintained facilities: two high schools (Fox High and Seckman High), four middle schools, eleven elementary schools, one early childhood center (Don Earl Early Childhood Center), and Bridges Alternative School. Founded in 1948, the district operates as a government state entity governed by an elected seven-member Board of Education and led by Superintendent Dr. Paul Fregeau, with an executive team comprising Chief Operations Officer Tracy Schmidt, Chief Teaching and Learning Officer Tracy Haggerty, Chief Technology & Communications Officer JP Prezzavento, and Assistant Superintendents Dr. Tammy Cardona (Secondary) and Dr. Dustin Bain (Elementary).

The district's core service is comprehensive public education augmented by specialized programs including REACH gifted education (623 students served by 8 full-time gifted teachers), special education with a Deaf & Hard of Hearing Program, English Language Learner services, dual enrollment through Jefferson College (107 students), Missouri State University, and UMSL, plus MOCAP virtual education. Core technology infrastructure includes a district-wide 1:1 Chromebook initiative (with 2,500 Acer Chromebooks deployed for 2026-2027), Infinite Campus student information system, iReady adaptive learning platform, IXL, eduClimber data aggregation, Samsara GPS bus tracking, Traversa routing software, and Voxtelesys 3CX cloud phone system. The district's technology modernization is being executed under Proposition M, a $48 million zero-tax-rate-increase general obligation bond approved by voters on April 7, 2026 with 65% approval.

The district's business model is funded primarily through local property taxes (2025 total rate of $4.1867 per $100 assessed valuation, including $3.4766 Operating, $0.3901 Debt Service, and $0.3200 Capital Projects), supplemented by Missouri state aid under state school funding formulas and federal grants (Title I, Title II, ELL, SIT). Ancillary revenue streams include nutrition services (meal prices ranging $1.95-$4.55), adult meals, before/after school care through Character Kids Club, summer programs, and facility rentals. The district operates with a balanced budget, projecting a June 30, 2026 ending operating fund balance of $30,640,532 (21.38% of operating expenses), implying an annual operating budget of approximately $140-145 million. Customer acquisition is not a market function — enrollment is determined by district-of-residence, and the district distributes information via its website, Peachjar digital flyers, social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), Board Brief newsletters, and community information sessions.
