Lafayette Ave., Sedalia, Missouri, serving approximately 4,833 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade across Pettis County. The district operates 10 school locations: five elementary schools (Heber Hunt, Horace Mann, Parkview, Skyline, Washington), Sedalia Middle School, Smith-Cotton Junior High, Smith-Cotton High School, Whittier High School (alternative), Loftus Early Childhood Center, and the Pettis County Early Childhood Cooperative. The district employs 755 staff and maintains facilities exceeding 900,000 square feet across 150 acres of property. A 94% graduation rate is the headline outcome metric; the daily meal program serves 2,904 lunches.

The district's core technology stack is composed of standard, off-the-shelf K-12 platforms: Chromebooks for student computing, Canvas as the learning management system, Tyler Pulse for staff resources, Frontline Education for HR and time management, and Infinite Campus as the parent/student portal. Instructional programs include athletics and activities, special services (special education, mental health, social services including foster care liaison and McKinney-Vento homeless education), the A+ Schools Program, Transitional Kindergarten, MOCAP online learning, K-6 Alternative Means of Instruction (AMI), and a dedicated military family support track. Dr. Todd Fraley serves as Superintendent; the seven-member Board of Education is elected at-large to three-year terms.

Revenue is derived almost entirely from public-sector appropriations: 40% local (primarily property tax), 40% state, 18% federal (including Title programs), and 2% county. The operating budget allocates roughly 75% to student support (teacher salaries, books and supplies, special education, federal Title), 10% to plant operations, 7.5% to capital projects, and 7.4% to general administration, with a stated minimum 15% operating reserve. Distribution is purely direct-to-consumer via in-district enrollment; the only secondary revenue stream of note is the meal program (free for Pre-K-5; $1.45–$2.60 for secondary students; $3–$4 for adults). As a Missouri government entity under DESE oversight, the district operates within a CSIP accountability framework and participates in the DESE Dashboard.
