Lake Havasu Unified went through some strict budget cuts, closing one of its two middle schools (Daytona Middle School), and distributing 6th graders throughout the elementaries and 7th and 8th grades to Thunderbolt Middle School. Local voters passed a bond and a budget override for the district in 2016, helping to alleviate some school district budget problems.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.havasunews.com/news/passage-of-bond-override-allows-havasu-s-school-district-to/article_e8fcd5f0-e1fc-11e6-bcf3-87b83739c883.html|title=Passage of bond, override allows Havasu's school district to cut sports fees in half|last=Louis|first=David|work=Havasu News-Herald|access-date=2018-06-11|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.havasunews.com/news/lake-havasu-unified-school-board-oks-budget-teacher-raises/article_a056faf2-65f4-11e7-9181-f3e62af5422b.html|title=Lake Havasu Unified School Board OKs budget, teacher raises|last=Messick|first=Brandon|work=Havasu News-Herald|access-date=2018-06-11|language=en}}</ref>
