Idaho Caldwell School District

What Idaho Caldwell School District does

Caldwell School District is a public K-12 school district operating under Idaho state law and governed by a five-member elected Board of Trustees (Travis Manning as Chair, Trish Robertson as Vice Chair, Sam Stone as Treasurer, Manuel Godina and Erin Sullivan Smith as Trustees, with Jessica Watts as Clerk). The district serves approximately 5,600 resident students across ten district-operated schools spanning preschool through high school, including Caldwell High School, Canyon Springs High School, Jefferson and Syringa middle schools, five elementary schools (Lewis and Clark, Washington, Van Buren, Sacajawea, Wilson), and the JDC alternative program. It also operates the Caldwell Online Academy for grades 1-5 and partners with Idaho Digital Learning Alliance for middle-school online learners.

The district's core technology stack consists of third-party administrative and operational systems: PowerSchool as the Student Information System for enrollment, grades, and attendance; Skyward for finance and human resources; Peachjar for digital flyer distribution to parents; WANRack for district-wide WAN connectivity; and Versatrans routing via Caldwell Transportation Company for bus logistics. It also operates programmatic layers such as the Community Schools integrated-support initiative across multiple elementary sites, the Migrant Summer School program, and the Advanced Opportunities/Fast Forward program offering up to $4,125 per student in grades 7-12 for dual credit, AP, and CTE credentials.

Revenue is generated through government funding mechanisms rather than commercial sales: state per-pupil allocations based on average daily attendance, local property tax levies (including a $4.1M/year supplemental levy and roughly $8M total property tax revenue including bond payments), and federal Title, ARP ESSER, and migrant education grants. A minor fee stream exists for adult lunches ($4.25), driver education ($225), and facility rentals. The district pursues an "expansion via partnership" strategy, layering community services — Terry Reilly Health Services mental health MOUs, Boys & Girls Club programming, YMCA preschool, Caldwell Fine Arts enrichment, College of Idaho dual-enrollment, and Building 21 mastery-based systems — around the core instructional product.
