Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District

What Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District does

Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District (KTJUSD) is a public K-12 unified school district headquartered in Hoopa, California, serving rural communities along the Klamath and Trinity Rivers in Humboldt and Trinity Counties. Founded in 1948, the district operates 7 school sites — 5 elementary schools (Hoopa Valley, Orleans, Trinity Valley, Jack Norton, and the Weitchpec Yurok Magnet/Elementary), 1 junior/senior high school (Hoopa Valley Junior Senior High School), and 1 continuation high school (Captain John) — with a combined daily transportation operation running 28 bus routes covering 700 miles per day and transporting approximately 1,025 students. The district's student body includes a significant Native American population, served in part through a dedicated Indian Education Program and the Yurok language/magnet focus at Weitchpec.

KTJUSD's operational technology stack consists of standard commercial K-12 platforms: the Aeries Student Information System for attendance, grading, and parent communications; ClassLink Launchpad for single sign-on; the GoFan platform for athletic ticketing; Google Sites for the wellness program; and the Educational Networks website platform for the district's public web presence. The district maintains fiber connectivity with redundant internet across its school sites, campus-wide intercoms, phone, and security systems. Staff are led by Superintendent Jacqueline McCullough, who reports to an elected Board of Trustees.

As a California government entity, KTJUSD is funded through the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), Education Protection Account (EPA) allocations, federal funding, and local property taxes — not commercial revenue. Education is provided tuition-free to in-district students. Strategic partners include the California School Employees Association (CSEA) for labor relations and the American Indian College Fund for scholarship support. The district's competitive position rests entirely on its statutory monopoly over K-12 public education within its attendance area; financial statements are publicly audited (2024 audit completed), and the district maintains public-facing governance documents via the Simbli eBoardSolutions platform.
