The Isaac Elementary School District serves about 5,200 Pre-K through eighth grade students. The district has 12 schools and is located just northwest of downtown Phoenix.

Once appointed, the receiver will oversee and manage the district's operations, including finances, governance, and academic programs.

The district tells parents that the day-to-day operations of schools will continue as usual as the receiver works to solve financial challenges and to ensure students receive a high-quality education.
