Arkansas City Public Schools is reminding families and drivers to stay alert as more students walk to and from school. Parents are encouraged to review safe walking routes with children, and drivers are reminded to watch for pedestrians, stop at crosswalks, and obey school bus laws. Together, we can help every child get to school and back home safely.

Ark City voters will decide the future of local schools on Nov. 4, 2025. Two proposed bond measures would improve safety, modernize classrooms, and expand early childhood education across USD 470 — with 30% state aid offsetting costs. Proposition 1 funds major additions at Arkansas City Middle School and districtwide upgrades, while Proposition 2 would build a new Pre-K Center (contingent on Prop 1 passing).
