Education is provided free of charge to all enrolled students, meals are provided at no charge to every student under the Community Eligibility Provision of the National School Lunch Program, and Expanded Learning Programs are offered at no cost to families. Governance is by an elected five-member Board of Trustees meeting biweekly. The organization is headquartered at 909 W. Grant Avenue, Winters, CA 95694, and serves a single geographic market in Yolo County.
